Let's get brewing!

The key to producing good coffee at home is being precise with "ratio" and "time."

With this in mind, let's start brewing. 

Here's the recipe:

Tips:

1. Spend 10 seconds on each pour. 
By pouring hot water in the fixed amount of time, your pour-over will be consistent throughout.

2. Agitate after the first pour.
Agitate with a tea spoon 2-3 times in order to bring our pleasant acidity.

3. Make the second pour steady and aggressive. 
This will bring our rich sweetness of coffee. 

4. Make the thrid pour nice and gentle.
The purpose of third pour onward is adjustment of concentration level. 

5. Give it a final stir after the last pour.
The first and final agitation will make the extraction consistent all the time.

6. Finish at approximately 2'30.
Remove the dripper from the server once water is no longer visible on the coffee bed. 

Tips: 
For fruity coffee lovers we trying this basic recipe with our Hario drippers, on the other hand for a more well-balanced coffee we recommend trying this recipe with Kalita drippers.
