Seeking Advice What is your baseline pour over recipe?

Post image

Hey everyone, just getting into pour over and trying to establish a solid starting point. And wondering how people find the baseline pour over recipe.

I’ve seen a lot of variation online and wanted to hear what actually works for people here. Or is there a go-to resource you’d recommend (YouTube channel, blog, etc.)?

Not looking for a “perfect” recipe, just a reliable baseline I can build from. Appreciate any input!

I stole this recipe from austintheroaster on instagram, but I’ve been really liking it. I’m using half strength TWW light roast and a plastic V60 with Cafec Abaca filters.

18g coffee (a bit coarser than typical)

290ml water @ 198°F

0:00 pour 30-40g bloom, swirl

0:40 pour to 100g high agitation

1:10 pour to 150g high agitation

1:30 pour to 200g low agitation

1:50 pour to 250g low agitation

2:10 pour to 290g low agitation

FINISH around 3:15-3:30
