METHOD:

1:16 RATIO - 1 GRAM OF COFFEE TO 16 GRAMS OF WATER

  1. Fold the filter into a cone shape and rinse it in the Hario dripper with water just off the boil to eliminate paper odour/flavour. Discard the rinsed water.

  2. Grind 25-30 grams of Singh Beans coffee at the consistency of sea salt. Add coffee to your brewer and ensure the grounds are level.

  3. Saturate grounds with water right off the boil (96°C). Use just enough water to cover the grounds. Let it bloom for 15 seconds. Coffee de-gasses or “blooms” when it is fresh and the coffee bed should rise up and bubble a bit.

  4. Pour water in slow, even spirals, adding water every 10 – 15 seconds for an even extraction. Pour over the dark spots and avoid the light ones. If you are using a scale, you should pour until you reach 360g.

  5. Once you hit 3:00, you should have 10 oz of brewed coffee. Remove the brewer and pour the coffee into a warm mug and enjoy!
