Rancilio Rocky pour over

kone in a chemex on a scale
111 was totally an coincidence
First morning with my new rocky grinder, I made some pour over in the Chemex V60 with a Kone metal filter per daily routine.  I find that the pour over (or drip if you will) brew method gives me a cleaner and smoother cup than french press, making it the preferred morning coffee routine.  What you see there is the initial pour, where the coffee should bloom to around the 1 minute mark.  I was supposed to pour to 100g... but wasn't really awake yet so.. we got 111.  After bloom, pour in rest of water (I used 24 g coffee with 400 g of water) which should take you to the 2 minute mark and let coffee flow through til 2:45 -  3:00.

Currently Drinking: Ethiopia Tukant


ethiopia tukantWhat you're looking at is the lovely lid of my coffee container.  What's inside is the Ethiopia Tuktant from Blue Bottle in San Francisco.  If anyone's visiting SF I highly recommend it, there's a store in Mint Plaza and one in Ferry building. The lines can get pretty longs though, but they do have a online coffee store
