Master the Art of Pour-Over Brewing with Black•ology Coffee

Pour-over brewing is more than just a method of making coffee—it’s a ritual, an experience, and a testament to the art of crafting the perfect cup. If you’re seeking clean, bright flavors that highlight the nuances of your coffee, pour-over is the way to go. At Black•ology Coffee Company, we believe every cup of coffee should be an elevated experience, and mastering pour-over brewing is a step toward that journey.


What You Need to Get Started

To brew like a pro, gather these essentials:
- Pour-Over Dripper: Opt for a V60 or Chemex for precision and style.
- Filter: Ensure it fits your dripper perfectly.
- Freshly Ground Black•ology Coffee: Medium grind for optimal extraction.
- Kettle: A gooseneck kettle for controlled pouring.
- Scale: Accuracy is key in achieving the perfect ratio.
- Timer: To track blooming and brewing times.


Step-by-Step Guide to Pour-Over Perfection

1. Prep Your Dripper and Filter 
Place the filter in your pour-over dripper and rinse it with hot water. This removes any papery taste and preheats your equipment.

2. Measure and Add Coffee
Use a scale to measure 1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water. For example, if you’re brewing 400ml of coffee, use 25 grams of coffee.

3. Heat Your Water 
Bring your water to 200°F—just off the boil. Precision in temperature ensures balanced extraction.

4. The Bloom 
Begin by pouring just enough water to saturate the coffee grounds, then let it sit for 30 seconds. This releases trapped gases and enhances flavor extraction.

5. Slow and Steady Pouring 
Using your gooseneck kettle, pour water slowly in circular motions, starting from the center and moving outward. Keep pouring until you’ve reached your desired water amount.

6. Wait and Watch 
Allow the coffee to drip through the filter. This should take about 3–4 minutes, depending on your grind size and pour speed.

7. Serve and Savor 
Once the dripping stops, remove the dripper and pour your coffee into your favorite cup. Take a moment to enjoy the clean, vibrant flavors that pour-over brewing brings to life.


Pro Tips for an Elevated Experience
- Freshness Matters: Always use freshly roasted Black•ology coffee to ensure maximum flavor.
