Pour-over is the simplest way to taste what a coffee really is. You need a dripper, a paper filter, a kettle you can pour slowly from, and freshly ground beans.
The recipe
15 g of coffee, ground like coarse sand
250 g of water just off the boil, about 94 °C
Rinse the paper, add the coffee, and pour 40 g of water to wet it all
Wait 30 seconds, then pour the rest slowly in circles
It should finish dripping around three and a half minutes
If it tastes wrong
Sour or thin: grind finer. Bitter or dry: grind coarser. Change one thing at a time, and write down what you did.
Come by the café and Luca will brew one with you.
