I became the thing I despised.

…and it is delicious.

After rolling my eyes at others ridiculous coffee rituals for years, I just bought a set of coffee scales for my pour-overs.

Now I am a coffee snob. Worse, I am a self-righteous, newly converted coffee snob.

And yes, the brew tastes significantly better.

  1. Select your favourite mug.
  2. I use Hario V60 Paper Coffee Filters
  3. 19g single origin dark roast. Coarse grind.
  4. Heat water to 99 C.
  5. Pour 40 mls.
  6. Let bloom for 40 sec.
  7. Add water to 100 mls over approx 20 sec (until water level is just above coffee grounds).
  8. Add water to 150 mls. Ditto.
  9. Add water to 200 mls. Ditto.
  10. Add water to 250 mls. Ditto

Sip & savour.
