Pour-Over Recipe

Using Stagg [X] Dripper

Ratio: 1:14.4

Coffee: 25 g

Water: 360 g

Bloom: 50 g for 30 seconds

Pulse Pours: After the bloom, pour two slow steady pours of 140 g each, then gently swirl the brewer and let the coffee drawdown.

All water should be poured by 2:15.

Total Brew Time: 2:30-3:00

Special Tip: Add 30 g of hot water to your finished brew. This dilutes it to an ideal concentration and prevents over-extraction that can occur during later stages of the brew process.
