Pour over espresso isn’t exactly like true espresso, but it is delicious, strong, and complex. We’re using a Hario V60, but you can easily adapt this recipe to any pour-over brewer!
Grind your coffee beans. We’re using a 1:10 coffee to water ratio for this recipe, so you’ll need to measure a very small amount of coffee. Use about 1.7 teaspoons of coffee per 3 ounces of water.
Fold the edge of your paper filter and put it in the brewer. Then add the freshly ground coffee beans. Place the brewer on top of your coffee cup.
Boil your water. You want it at around 200 Fahrenheit for the best flavor. Use a gooseneck kettle if you have one!
Pour a small amount of hot water over your grounds. Wait a few seconds, and then pour in the rest. For the best flavor, make small circles with the water, covering all of the coffee equally.
Once your coffee finishes draining into the cup, remove the brewer and discard the grounds and filter. Enjoy your pour-over espresso plain or with a little sugar or cream!
