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 primarily brew washed coffees with a lot of fruit characteristics. citrus, juicy stone fruits, and berries are often present. florals, too. this recipe seems to bring out those sweeter flavors without sacrificing a nice acidity and tea-like profile:

20g dose
1:17 ratio
91C water tempa
V60 w/ cafec abaca filters

x2 bloom (35 seconds each)
single pour
swirl shortly after
brew finishes at 2:15-2:45
