Solo v1 Misc pourover by George Jinyang Peng

George Peng used this Solo dripper routine to win the World Brewers Cup in Jakarta, centering his presentation on temperature. Hot opening pours drive extraction, while a cooler Melodrip finish protects florals and sweetness from late bitterness.

Melodrip Optional

A handheld dispersion screen you pour onto; it softens the water stream so it does not agitate or bore into the coffee bed.

Notes

Use low-mineral water and press the Solo Hiflux paper flat against the walls for a non-bypass brew. Flush the kettle spout before starting so the slurry receives 96°C water, then diffuse the final pour through a Melodrip at 80°C. For home brewing, use one expressive coffee rather than recreating Peng's roast blend.
