Pourover - UFO Method

UFO Pour Over Method
Total Time: 3 minutes

  • Grind Fresh. Fresh beans oxidize and age very quickly once ground. Consistency of grind is medium to medium-fine
  • Wet the Filter. Use a small amount of water to soak the paper filter to pull out any residue or micro particles. Dispose of this water. 
  • 1/17 Ratio. Use 1 part coffee to 17 parts water weight ratio
    • Examples:
      • 21g coffee (3 tbs) / 357g (12.5 oz)
      • 42g coffee (6tbs) / 700g water (24.5oz)
    • For slightly lighter brew use a 1/20 ratio. Experiment with it. 
  • Saturate Grounds 
    • Cover grounds with 205°-ish water. 
    • Stir once with a small spoon and wait 15 seconds letting the hot gas rise through. 
    • Notice the grounds bubble as they are degassing. This bubbly moment is called the bloom.
  • As you add water every 10-15 seconds, pour over the dark spots instead of the light. This ensures that you're evenly distributing the water into the grounds
  • Close to the end, heat up the mug with the remaining water, preparing it to receive a perfectly brewed pour over cup.
