Start there and report back.

- Use an electric kettle to heat filteres water to 205 F and set it to maintain that temp.
- Use high-quality, freshly ground beans only. If you buy in bulk, keep the beans in an airtight container. Any beans that will take longer than two weeks to use should be frozen.
- Buy cone filters. I like hario size 2 (or v02) to make ~4 cups at once. You can compost the filter plus grounds afterward. Some say to wet the filter before adding beans but I’m not convinced this does anything.
- the first pour should just be enough to cover the coffee. Let it sit for a minute before the second pour.
- the second pour is where the magic happens
- if you want a little extra flavor, add ground coriander to your pour over. Or add real vanilla after you pour your cup.
I love coffee.
size 2 for 4 cups seems like a weak brew. How many grams of coffee?
