POUR OVER Coffee – The PERFECT Off-grid Setup!
Hey friends, I knew nothing about pour over coffee until I received this amazing Christmas gift. I am no barista but I will do my best to share with you what I know, but below are instructions I found from pros on line if you want to go for it.

Start off with 23 grams of coffee, if you don't have a scale this is 3 level scoops of coffee beans. You will want this at a med to fine grind.
The next step is to pre-wet the filter. I doubled up a standard coffeemate filter as the professionals use a thicker variety. You want this to be done when your water is at temperature for the pour over so you don't have any heat loss. This also removes the paper taste from the filter. Proceed to dump the filtered water.
Go ahead and add the grounds to the moistened filter. And then just kind of shake it around, to make sure it's flat in there. Supposedly your suppose to have 12.5 oz of water around 200 degrees F.
First pour is just enough water to wet all the grounds that are in there. And you let that sit for 30 to 45 seconds. This is called 'blooming'. And what it does is, let some of the gasses release.
After 30 seconds, you're gonna pour. You wanna pour pretty slowly, starting in the center and then going in concentric circles, all the way to the edge. I did this way to fast in my video but its hard without a proper gooseneck kettle. Be sure not to pour down the sides of the filter. The professionals say the pours should take 3-4 mins, I have never timed myself but maybe you have time for that, lol. You'll notice I did this last step, in 2 additional pours there is some conflicting information from baristas as to which method gets you that perfect cup of coffee!
So now that all the water has been added. You're just gonna just finish it up with a gentle stir. This ensures all the grounds extract.
