Brew Guide: Torch Mountain Dripper
Brew your filter coffee with ease using this simple, yet beautifully constructed handmade pourover unit, designed and crafted by Torch – a boutique manufacturer based out of Kyoto, Japan. The finely crafted porcelain dripper features special internal ribs which guide the flow of water through the coffee. Meanwhile, its five outlet holes ensure the optimum rate of flow for consistently smooth and perfectly balanced coffee.
PREPARATION
- Fill kettle and bring to boil.
- Place filter paper snugly in Mountain Dripper and pre-heat by saturating with boiling water.
- Tip 14.5g coarsely ground coffee into Mountain Dripper and gently tap to flatten bed of coffee.
Aim for a total brew time of 2:30. If you find your brew runs too fast, adjust grind to a finer setting. If it runs too slowly, try a coarser grind.
STEP ONE
Bloom: Carefully pour in 40g of near boiling water into center of coffee and gently mix coffee to make sure every particle is completely saturated. Bloom for 40 seconds
STEP TWO
Gently pour in remaining 180g of water, aiming close to the center of the coffee and pouring in small circles.
STEP THREE
Once 180g of water has been poured, gently adjust filter paper to release any vacuum and give two small clockwise stirs to get coffee to spin slowly. Once it has drained, the coffee bed should be flat.
ENJOY!
