WHAT YOU NEED
- 17g of coffee, ground medium-fine - we used Feels Good Filter
- 150g brewed water
- 100g ice
- Pour over Dripper e.g. V60 (size 02), Kalita Wave (185)
- Filter paper
- Glass server
HOW TO MAKE
- Place the filter paper in the dripper, then position the dripper over your glass server.
- Rinse the filter paper with hot water to remove any papery taste, and discard the rinse water from the glass server.
- Add 50g of ice to the glass server, then place the dripper back on top.
- Pour 17g of medium-fine ground coffee into the filter paper. Gently tap the dripper to level the coffee bed.
- Heat 150g of water to 93°C (200°F).
- Using a timer, start by pouring 50g of hot water over the coffee grounds to initiate the bloom. Let it sit for 30 seconds, allowing the coffee to bloom and release gases.
- Swirl the glass server gently five times to ensure even saturation of the grounds.
- At 45 seconds, begin pouring the remaining hot water in a slow, circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward, but avoid touching the paper filter. Aim to finish pouring by 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Gently swirl the glass server once more to gather any grounds from the walls of the dripper.
- The total brew time should be between 3 to 3.5 minutes.
- Place the remaining 50g of ice into a chilled glass. Pour the brewed coffee over the ice and enjoy your refreshing iced pour over!
