Pour Over
The following recipe was built for an Origami M Brewer with Cone Filter but works well with an Orea, Kalita, Hario, Origami with Flat Filter, or Stagg X.
Coffee: 18g of medium coffee (4 on Fellow Ode V2 / 550 microns)
Water: 300g at 205°F
Steps:
1. Rinse your filter with hot water and discard the rinse water.
2. Add 18g of coffee to your brewer.
3. Start with a 60g spiral pour to bloom the coffee and swirl the bed.
4. At 30 seconds, pour 80g of water in the center.
5. At 1 minute, pour another 80g of water.
6. At 1:30, finish with an 80g spiral pour.
Goal Finish Time: 2:20 - 2:40
Adjust Final drain time to specific coffee and taste preference.
Co-Ferments: For Co-Fermented/Anaerobic Coffees we recommend about 15% more coffee (21g instead of 18g with above recipe) to help tame the wild and funky flavors of the coffee and restore it's balance and complexity.
Espresso
Ratio: 1:2.5
Dose: 18g of ground coffee
Yield: 45g liquid espresso
Shot Time: 32-38 seconds (including 4-second pre-infusion)
Water Temperature: 205°F
For a silky, balanced beverage, pair this espresso shot with at least 2oz of your preferred milk. More milk will further tame acidity and enhance the espresso’s natural richness.
Co-Ferments: For Co-Fermented/Anaerobic Coffees we recommend either updosing 2g more coffee while maintaining final liquid espresso amount, or shortening the shot to a 1:2 ratio. This will decrease overall extraction and help tame the wild and funky flavors of the coffee and restore its balance and complexity.
