Detailed tutorial on making hand-poured coffee

Pour-over coffee is a delicate method of brewing coffee that extracts the best flavor and aroma from the coffee beans. Here's how to make a delicious cup of pour-over coffee using a pour-over coffee machine.

Prepare tools and materials

First, we need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• Freshly ground coffee beans
• Hand pour-over (such as V60, chemex, or Aeropress)
• Filter paper (choose the appropriate size based on the type of hand filter used)
• Kettle or kettle
• Electronic scale or measuring cup (for measuring water and coffee powder)
• Stirring spoon or stick

  Step 1: Preheating equipment and filter paper treatment

  V60:

  - Place the V60 over the container you will be pouring your coffee into and place the filter paper into the V60.

  - Wet the filter paper with hot water to remove any odor from it and preheat the V60 and container.

  Chemex:

  - Unwrap the Chemex filter paper and place it in the Chemex.

  - Wet the filter paper with hot water to remove the taste and preheat the Chemex.

  Aeropress:

  - Place the Aeropress with the filter in place and invert it over the cup. Rinse the filter with hot water and warm the cup.

  Step 2: Measure coffee powder and water

  
  

  Use a digital scale or measuring cup to measure the amount of coffee powder and water you need. Generally speaking, use 15 grams of coffee powder to 250 ml (grams) of water to make a cup of hand-poured coffee. You can also adjust the ratio according to your taste.

  Step 3: Brewing

  V60 brewing method:
  1. First pour in twice the weight of the coffee powder (i.e. 30 grams) of water, allow the coffee powder to fully soak, and wait for 30 seconds.
  2. Slowly pour in the remaining water in a circular motion, keeping the water level even with the coffee grounds.
  3. Use a stirring spoon or stirring stick to gently stir the coffee liquid to make it evenly mixed.
  4. After waiting for the water drips to run out, you can remove the hand pourer from the container and pour the coffee into the cup to enjoy. Chemex Brewing Method:
     1. First pour in twice the weight of the coffee powder (i.e. 30 grams) of water, allow the coffee powder to fully soak, and wait for 30 seconds.

        Step 4: Taste and adjust

        After making it, taste your pour-over coffee. If you think the taste is too dark or too strong, you can reduce the amount of coffee powder you use; if you think the taste is too light or not strong enough, you can increase the amount of coffee powder you use. You can find the best recipe for your taste by constantly adjusting the ratio and brewing time.

        Summarize

        Although hand-poured coffee requires some skills and patience, it can bring you a purer coffee experience. Through reasonable operation and adjustment, you can make hand-poured coffee with rich taste and strong aroma. I hope this tutorial is helpful to you, and I wish you enjoy delicious hand-poured coffee!
