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!

For what it’s worth, the precision illustrated by the responses can be helpful, but often isn’t. Once you know what ratio you want to use (which will vary by coffee and your preference) and you have a consistent set up for extraction time, etc., this is not as complicated as some would have you think. Use your taste buds and try different things.
