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.

  • Recap
    • Soak your filter
    • Pour in your 18 grams of coffee
    • Start your stopwatch and your pour at the same time.
    • Pour up to 75 grams of water and stir (0-20 seconds)
    • At 30 second mark, start your second pour. Pour another 75 grams bringing your water weigh up to 150. (30-50 seconds)
    • At 1 minute mark, pour another 150 grams of water bringing your total water weight up to 300 grams.
    • Wait for your coffee to drop out.
    • That’s it!
