POUROVER RECIPE
What You'll Need
Pourover (V60, Kalita, or Origami)
Paper filter
Blacksmith Single Origin
Grinder (medium grind)
Scale
Kettle (ideally gooseneck)
Mug/server
Prep
- Rinse the paper filter with hot water (removes paper taste + warms everything).
- Discard rinse water.
- Add ground coffee and level the bed.
Bloom (0:00–0:30)
- Pour 30–40g of water evenly over the grounds.
- Let it sit for 30 seconds. (This releases trapped gases for better extraction)
Main pour (0:30–1:30)
- Slowly pour in circles up to 150g total.
- Keep the water level steady, not too aggressive.
Final pour (1:30–2:00)
- Continue pouring gently until you reach 240g total.
Drawdown (finish ~2:10–2:30)
- Let all the water drip through.
- Total brew time should be around 2 mins 30 seconds.
Quick Tips
- Grind Coarser if the total brewing time is too long.
- Grind Finer If the total brewing time is too short.
Dial-In Tips
- Too fast (<25s): Grind finer → increases resistance → slows flow
- Too slow (>30s): Grind coarser → reduces resistance → speeds flow
