Beehouse Brew Guide
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.
