Of interest to anyone who likes coffee. I followed my wife brewing the hand drip method this morning and here's a breakdown of the steps.
#coffee #grownostr



Weigh the beans, in this case 12g.


Grind beans(grind grade set at 4.5)


Ground beans placed in dripper and scale recalibrated to reflect weight of beans.


Water boiled to 96c



First pour, water poured using a gentle circular motion to stimulate the entire grind.


Each pour is approximately 30g of water and a pause to let the water fully seep through before starting the next pour.



Final pour brings the total to about 220g( a pre chosen quantity based on experience with the bean). Notice the timer was started at first pour.


Final seep complete and timer shows 3:09 minutes. A little long and this reflected in the profile of the brew.....slightly more bitter than if the pour had been completed closer to the 2 minute mark. What influences the seep timing?.......the attention to the circular motion of the pour that should wind outwards from the middle of the grind in the dripper very delicately. The pour influences the aroma/flavour actually quite significantly.
