Perfect Pour-Over Coffee Blend

Spending more time at home, people are looking for new ways of doing just about anything to keep themselves occupied. Since there's no rush to get out the door,  why not spend a little more time experimenting with the way you make your coffee? Try out one of our favorite and simplest ways of making coffee with the pour-over method.

For an excellent pour-over coffee, try our custom Heartland Blend. This combination of Ethiopia, Panama and Peru coffee beans is bold, yet smooth, medium dark and not bitter with notes of roasted almond, cherry and cling peach. This coffee is truly a delight for any time of the day.

To make your great cup of pour-over coffee, put a pot of fresh water on and bring it to almost boiling (but not boiling yet) or to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. While the water is heating up, measure out your coffee grounds. We recommend 22 grams coarse ground coffee mixed with 400 grams of water. You can, of course, adjust the proportions to your own taste. 

Once the water is heated, pour the water over the coffee grounds until it bubbles up. Allow the water and grounds to bloom for about 30 seconds before stirring gently. It’s obvious you will need a coffee scale to do this right, so check our accessory page for some great scales if you don't own one. After it bubbles up for 30 seconds, pour the rest of the water in a circular motion until you reach the total of 400 grams or adjusted to your taste.

Make sure you use your favorite add-ins if that's what you prefer. Then sit back and enjoy with a good book. Our favorite is to have a good home-made biscotti on the side.
