    This document provides instructions for making pour-over coffee using a pour-over brewing method. It explains that while pour-over brewing can take years to master, it can also produce consistently good results for novices. The instructions outline a 7-step process for brewing pour-over coffee for two people using a few specialized tools. It describes heating the water, grinding the coffee grounds to a medium coarseness, wetting and warming the filter, adding the grounds to the filter, "blooming" the grounds by pouring water over them, waiting 30 seconds for CO2 to release, and slowly pouring the remaining water over the grounds in a spiral motion until the desired amount is reached over 4 minutes. It also provides

    THE ART OF

    THE POUR-OVER
    BREW GUIDE
    While the pour-over method can
    take years to perfect—coffee
    aficionados have devoted lifetimes
    to this nuanced fusion of alchemy
    and artistry—it’s also a method that
    can yield consistently elegant,
    balanced flavor in the hands of
    a complete novice. The following
    instructions prepare enough coffee
    for two people and can apply to
    nearly any pour-over. Arm yourself
    with a few specialized tools and
    a healthy sense of curiosity.
    Then dive right in.
    01
    Heat fresh water to about 200°F
    (or about 30 seconds off the boil).

    02
    Grind about 25 g coffee (approximately
    3 Tbsp) to medium coarseness—about
    the consistency of coarse sand.

    03
    Place your filter into the dripper, and
    prep it by wetting it thoroughly and
    evenly with hot water. This rinses the
    filter of any papery taste and warms
    the cone. Dump the rinse water.
    04
    Add your ground coffee to the filter,
    tapping gently to level it.

    05
    For extra precision, place your brewer
    onto a digital scale and set it to zero.
    Begin pouring hot water in a slow,
    steady stream from the middle of the
    grounds, spiraling steadily out toward
    the perimeter. Stop when the grounds
    are completely saturated and have
    begun to “bloom” (about 15 seconds).
    06
    Wait about 30 seconds for the grounds
    to release CO2 gas, which naturally
    builds up during the roasting process.
    Gas trapped in fresh grounds can infuse
    a sour taste into your coffee.

    07
    Again starting from the center of
    the cone, pour in a slow, steady spiral
    out to the perimeter and back again
    toward the center. Take care to pour
    only over the coffee grounds and not
    directly onto the filter. Stop when the
    scale reads about 450 g. The entire
    brew time from the first “bloom” to
    the last drip in your carafe should
    take around 4 minutes.
    POUR-OVER
    PRO TIPS
    @ S TA R B U C K S R E S E R V E
    PRO TIP 01:

    BLOOM
    The coffee “bloom” is the very first swell
    of coffee grounds when they come in contact
    with hot water. During the bloom, you’ll see
    bubbles forming and bursting from the
    grounds—that’s CO 2. Letting it escape will
    improve your coffee’s flavor and prime the
    grounds for better extraction.
    PRO TIP 02:

    GRIND SIZE
    A consistent grind size is crucial when preparing
    pour-over coffee. Grind size determines how
    quickly hot water can flow through the coffee,
    affecting whether your outcome is perfectly
    extracted or under- / overdone. Invest in a
    good-quality grinder, and reap the rewards
    for years to come.
    PRO TIP 03:

    COFFEE
    The pour-over method produces a crisp, clean
    cup that highlights the higher notes in coffee.
    Coffees with bright, fruity notes—like those from
    Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania—are excellent when
    prepared with a pour-over, but we recommend
    experimenting with your favorites.
