Brewing the Perfect Pour Over – Blue Bottle Coffee Instructions for 2023

What You Need:

In order to get the perfect pour over with Blue Bottle Coffee, you’ll need a few simple supplies. All of these items can be purchased at your local coffee shop or online. You’ll need a pour over brewer, filter, coffee grinder, scale, and a timer. You’ll also need a kettle and Blue Bottle Coffee beans.

The Steps:

The first step to making a great pour over is to measure and grind your beans. Using a scale, measure out 18g of coffee and grind it to a medium-fine texture – similar to sea salt. Once the coffee is ground, place the filter into the pour over brewer and rinse it with hot water.

Next, add the ground coffee to the filter and give it a gentle shake to level the grounds. Put the brewer onto your scale and tare it to zero. Start your timer and begin to slowly pour hot water over the coffee in a circular motion, starting from the center and working your way out. Pour until the scale reads 250g, taking around 2 minutes. As the coffee brews, you’ll see the coffee bloom – this is the release of carbon dioxide and flavor.

When the scale reads 250g, stop pouring and give the coffee a gentle stir. Then, continue to pour the remaining water in a circular motion until the scale reads 400g. Once the timer reaches 4 minutes, remove the brewer from the scale and discard the filter. You’ve now brewed the perfect pour over with Blue Bottle Coffee!

Tips for Success:

In order to get the best possible pour over with Blue Bottle Coffee, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Make sure to use fresh beans and grind them just before brewing. Use filtered water that is heated to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. And, be patient – the perfect pour over takes time and practice to perfect.

Enjoy!

Now that you’ve mastered the perfect pour over, it’s time to sit back and enjoy your cup of Blue Bottle Coffee. Whether you’re drinking it alone or with friends, you can be sure that you’ve brewed the best cup possible.
