Step 1:

Place the filter in the Kalita & place on a server.

Step 2:

Use hot water from your kettle to rinse the filter!  This helps eliminate paper taste & helps keep the dripper & decanter warm.

Step 3:

Measure the Coffee & Grind

We use a 15.5:1 ratio. Meaning we use 15.5g of water to 1g of coffee. 

Measure 24.5g of coffee & grind to the desired fineness.

Check out our grind adjustment page to dial in the grind.

Place the coffee in the dripper & shake the dripper to ensure the coffee bed is flat 

Step 4:

Bloom or saturate the grounds

Start your timer & pour 75g of coffee over the course of 15 sec.  Ensure to saturate all coffee grounds in a circular motion

Step 5:

Pouring will be split into 4 separate pours of 75g of water each pouring over 15 seconds.

In between the wait time will be 15 seconds.  Start each pour gently in the middle & slowly in a circular motion to the outside walls of the brewer.   

Step 6:

The last pour will go all the way up to 380g.  After pouring, take the coffee brewer & make 2 small circles with it then place it back on the server & wait to drip out.

Step 7:

Serve & Enjoy 

This Recipe will yield roughly 340g of coffee, or 12oz.
