Keep in mind a stovetop kettle, mason jar and thermometer can work well enough for making coffee. Heck, even a regular coffee machine could make decent coffee- it's just limited by the temperature of water it produces, and the rate it dispense water on the coffee grounds. I like doing things manual because I have a lot more control over the outcome of the cup.

Recommended Pour Over Recipe (V60)
-
Coffee: 20 g
-
Water: 320 g
-
Ratio: 1:16
-
Water temperature: 94 °C
-
Water type: Soft, filtered water (I use a 50/50 mix of distilled and filtered tap water — huge difference in clarity & sweetness!)
Step-by-Step
-
Bloom: Pour 60 g of water evenly over the coffee bed. Wait 45 seconds.
-
2nd Pour: Slowly pour 100 g of water into the center, keeping the water level no more than 1 inch above the coffee bed.
-
3rd Pour: Repeat with the remaining water (total 320 g), pouring slowly in the center.
-
Total brew time: ~2:45–3:30
Sneak Peek: The Pour-Over Workbook
For the past several months, I’ve been building a tool I wish I had when I first got serious about coffee. A diagnostic pour-over workbook designed to help you understand your beans, your water, and your grinder through structured, repeatable logging. Sounds nerdy and it is!
What’s Inside
-
Step-by-step brew logs to record variables without overwhelming you.
-
Quick-reference troubleshooting and guidance when your brew is not where you want it.
-
General coffee information to help you make sense of it all.
Who It’s For
-
Beginners seeking more
-
Intermediate brewers looking to level up
-
Coffee nerds who love experimenting (like me!)
Why I Made It
Most brew guides tell you what to do but I believe everyone's set up is different. Each bag of coffee is different from the next, so you got to dial it in. This workbook teaches you how to figure out the right recipe for your gear, your beans, and your taste preferences.
