• This guide helps RAMI Coffee community members ease back into pour-over brewing after a break, covering essential ratios, water temperature, and grind size. It emphasizes practical taste cues and common mistakes, ensuring a smooth return to great coffee without overcomplicating the process.
• A standard pour-over ratio is 1:16 (coffee to water), adjustable to taste.
• Water temperature around 200°F (93°C) is ideal for most medium roasts.
• Grind size should resemble sea salt; adjust if brew is too bitter or sour.
• Bloom for 30 seconds with twice the coffee weight in water for even extraction.
• Total brew time should be 2.5 to 3.5 minutes; adjust grind to hit this window.
