* Tips and tools to get you started on this popular coffee trend
* Great for anyone who just needs one cup in the morning.
* More environmentally friendly than single serving plastic pod coffee
What’s the latest trend percolating in the coffee world? It’s pour-over coffee. Why is this happening you ask, while slowly tightening your grip on your beloved Keurig? Well, it’s because those plastic pod, single shot coffee makers aren’t very good for the environment. And, pour-over coffee is ideal for anyone who only needs that single cup of coffee to get going in the morning. Also: it tastes amazing, and some people swear that the slower percolation process can actually be kind of meditative, too.
Here’s how to do it:
- Bring water to a boil
- Coarsely grind coffee to taste
- Pour the coffee grounds into your dripper (some drippers require a filter)
- Start pouring the hot water over the grounds using a circular motion – be sure to saturate the grounds
- Use a timer and scale to set the right amount according to your desired taste
- Pour more water in, wait 30-45 seconds as coffee starts to drip
- Repeat once more until your coffee mug is full
