Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

25 grams (1/3 cup) medium-ground coffee
150 grams (about 1 1/2 cups) ice cubes (preferably made from filtered water)
250 grams (about 1 cup) filtered water, heated to 200 degrees F

Steps:

  • Assemble a pour-over coffee rig using a carafe, filter holder, and filter set on a digital kitchen scale.
  • Place the coffee in the filter and the ice in the carafe, carefully noting the weights.
  • Slowly pour 50 grams of the water over the coffee using a spiral pattern. Zero the scale, wait 40 seconds, then using the same spiral pattern, slowly pour the remaining 200 grams water over the coffee. This step should ideally take about 2 minutes. If using an electric kettle with a thermostat, you can dose out the water in batches, returning it to the heating element as needed.
  • When the coffee has finished brewing, remove the filter holder and discard or compost the grounds. Serve the coffee with any remaining ice or strain it out for a stronger brew.
