Equipment
- 1 Gooseneck Kettle
- 1 Coffee Dripper
- 1 kitchen scale
- 1 Coffee Grinder
Ingredients
- 375 grams boiling water 198 degrees Fahrenheit
- 25 grams freshly ground coffee beans
Instructions
- Fill a kettle with water. A gooseneck kettle is preferred. Boil more than enough to fill your mug.
- Grind 25 grams of your best coffee.
- Put your dripper over your chosen mug and place a filter in the dripper. Soak it with boiling water and pour out the water.
- Pour the ground coffee into the filter.
- Place the mug with dripper on the scale and tare the scale.
- Pour twice the coffee’s weight in water (50 grams) in a circular motion. Avoid the edges of the coffee bed.
- Slowly pour 100 grams of water over the coffee in a circular motion and wait 30 seconds.
- Slowly pour 120 grams of water in a circular motion and when the coffee bed is getting low pour the remaining 155 grams in.
- Wait until 3 ½ minutes has passed and then remove the filter. At this point, all the water should have gone through and the filter will be dripping slightly.
- Enjoy!

Notes
If you get to the end and there’s still some more water you can wait another 15 seconds or note for next time to grind the beans coarser and/or pour the last 155 grams sooner.
Perfecting your recipe with your grinder, dripper and kettle is a process. It may take several times to get this just right (and a new roast may need you to make adjustments all over again!).
If you don’t have access to a scale, don’t worry. 25 grams of ground coffee equals ⅓ cup and the water used in the recipe (375 grams) equals about 11 ounces. Use these measurements in the recipe instead of the grams written.
