Beehouse Pour Over Brew Guide

Brewing on the Beehouse is a super easy and relatively quick way to enjoy a damn fine cup of drip coffee. These steps have been simplified over time to help you get to that perfect cup without helping you get to that anxiety attack first.

• What you’ll need
• A Beehouse Pour Over
• A #2 or #4 filter (the only difference is the height of the filter, so don’t worry if it’s one or the other.).
• 18 grams of coffee
• Some water (195-209 F)
• Something to brew into

• Step One
• Weigh and grind 18 grams of your favorite coffee and grind for drip.

• Step Two
• Place brewer onto decanter.
• Pre-soak your filter
• Place filter into brewer and pour some hot water over it. Try to hit all of the dry spots.
• Once you’ve done that and the water has passed through, dump that water.
• After you’ve discarded the water, place your brewer back onto your decanter.
  
  
• Step Three
• Pour your coffee into the filter.
• Pull up the stopwatch on your phone/ grab a kitchen timer.
• You’ll be starting your timer from zero.

• Step Four
• First pour
• Start your timer and start your pour at the same time.
• Pour up to 75 grams and stir.
• Your first pour should be done by 20 seconds.
• Step Five
• Second Pour
• Pour another 75 grams bringing your water weight to 150 grams
• You should be done pouring by about 50 seconds.
• Step Six
• Last Pour
• At 1 minute mark, pour another 150 grams of coffee bringing your total weight to 300.
• Step Seven
• Chill out and wait for that coffee to draw out.
• Coffee should be done brewing by < 2:30.

• Recap
• Soak your filter
• Pour in your 18 grams of coffee
• Start your stopwatch and your pour at the same time.
