Three Pour Standard

Melitta 1x4 Misc pourover by Melitta

Melitta's standard 1x4 method uses three steady circular pours, moving from the center outward without washing the paper walls. It offers a repeatable multi-cup baseline aimed at balanced strength, even extraction, and clarity.

Notes

Keep the circles inside the coffee bed and make each pour evenly wet the wedge's corners. For a larger batch, 30g of coffee with 500g of water is a practical scale point; grind finer for weakness and coarser for bitterness.
