Press play to start. A randomly selected coffee-room loop plays throughout the brew while the coach speaks each instruction over it.
A bright, high-clarity pour-over for light, washed Arabica — the kind with floral, citrus, or black-tea notes. Light roasts are dense and harder to extract, so this recipe runs hot and uses three controlled pours to build sweetness without sourness.
Use this recipe when…
- Your bag says light roast, washed, and lists floral / fruity notes.
- You want clarity and a clean, tea-like cup over body.
The three pours
- Rinse the filter, add 15 g of coffee, and tare to zero.
- Bloom — start the timer, pour to 45 g in slow circles, wait to 0:45.
- Swirl gently to settle the bed.
- Pour 1 — from 45 g to 120 g in a steady spiral (≈0:50–1:20).
- Pour 2 — from 120 g to 250 g in concentric circles (≈1:20–1:50).
- One gentle swirl, then let it draw down to 2:45.
Adjustment notes
- Sour or thin? Grind finer or push the water toward 96°C.
- Harsh? Pour gentler on the last pour and keep off the filter edges.
- Aim for a flat, even bed — high walls mean uneven flow.
