Filter Coffee Brew Guide

Filter brewing creates a smooth, clean, and flavour-packed cup without the fuss. It’s a slower brewing method where you can enjoy all the flavour in the beans.

What you'll need:

Filter equipment - for example this may be a V60, a Kalita or an Orea
Filter papers for your method of brewing
Roasted Coffee
Grinder (or pre-ground coffee)
Digital Scales (0.1g accurate if possible)
Kettle

How to brew:

1) Grab your coffee

Weigh out what you need, we'd suggest 15 grams per person (approx. 3 tablespoons).

2) Get your kettle on the boil

Start getting excited :)

3) Grind your beans

If you have beans you'll need to grind to a medium grind size (similar to granulated sugar).

4) Wash your filter paper

We do this to preheat the filter device and your cup or jug, then discard the water.

5) Pour water over the coffee

Pour 3x the volume of water to ground coffee (i.e. 15g of coffee would be 45g of water) over the coffee so it is all saturated, then leave to 'bloom' for 30 seconds.

6) Pour the remaining water

Slowly pour the remaining water over the coffee making sure the water is just covering the surface of the coffee. For each cup we recommend 250ml of water (i.e. 15g = 250ml and 30g = 500ml).
