Circle First

Simplify Brewer Misc pourover by REC Coffee

The Fukuoka roaster REC Coffee publishes its own recipe for this brewer, and it breaks the maker's one rule: it opens with circles. Water goes round to wet the bed evenly, then settles into one spot in the middle for the rest of the pour. Everything still arrives in a single unbroken forty-second stream.

Notes

REC gives the temperature by method rather than by thermometer: boil, pour into a second kettle or pot, and you land at 93°C. Have about twice the water you are going to pour ready, so the rinse does not eat into the brew. Shake the grounds level before the first drop — with no bloom to fix an uneven bed, that shake is the only chance to do it. REC end the brew by sight, when it has run through; the two minutes on the timer are ours, taken from the drawdown the maker quotes for the same brewer.
