Brewing

Everyone has their own way they like to brew coffee, but here is how I brew and where I suggest you start if you are new to pour over. 

Resting: I suggest you roast these coffees for a minimum of three weeks, even for the darker/more comfort roasts. You may notice a bit of potentially unpleasant freshness in the coffee if you consume them earlier, which will present differently depending on the coffee. 

Ratio: I usually use a ratio of 16:250g coffee:water poured.

Gear: I brew with a plastic v60 using Cafec Abaca Filters. 

Temp: usually around 92-93c, but adjust to your preference.

Grinder: EK43 with TC Brews

Water: I test coffees with a few different recipes, but lately I have been using 1/3 Third Wave Water Light Roast (I pour one packet into 300g of water, and dose 100g into a gallon of RO water as needed). 

v60 Recipe: Grinding on the coarser side for pour over and using the above ratio, I bloom with about 30g of water for 30 seconds to 1 minute (I don't find being super precise with timing here makes much of a difference). After the bloom, I do a "single pour" method where I keep the water level just above the coffee grounds, but not pouring so much water where the water level is much higher than 1-2cm above the coffee bed. I call this a "single pour" because it's okay to stop pouring if you need to as the water draws down, but I do not let the water draw down below the top of the bed of the coffee. If you notice the brew is very fast, I suggest you agitate the coffee bed before adjusting your grind finer.
