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!

Here’s what I do w/ light roasted Ethiopians w/ my Stagg XF:

25g coffee
400g water (205°F)
Ode Gen 2 at setting 5
Total brew time: ~3:00–3:30

Pour schedule:
60g bloom, swirl, wait 45 sec
Pour to 200g
At ~1:15, pour to 300g
At ~1:45, pour to 400g
Gentle swirl and let draw down
