Step 1
Heat water
to 200˚ F, or about 30 seconds off the boil.
Step 2
Weigh out
22 grams of coffee.
Step 3
Grind
at medium, or about the same level as for an auto-drip machine.
Step 4
Place #2 paper filter
in the dripper, and rinse it with hot water. This will ensure that you don’t get any papery taste in your coffee while also pre-heating the dripper.
Step 5
Place ground coffee
in the dripper.
Step 6
Place dripper
on top of the cup.
Step 7
Pour enough water
just to wet all the grinds.
Step 8
Wait 30 seconds
allowing the coffee to bloom, or release some of its gases.
Step 9
Pour rest of water
(you’ll be using 12oz or 340g in total) in a circular motion starting in the center and going out, making sure to evenly soak the grinds.
Step 10
Watch
as your coffee drips through, hopefully in around 4 minutes. If it goes too fast, try pouring slower next time. If it goes too slow, try pouring faster.
