Mountain Slow Pour

by Torch for Torch Mountain Dripper original source (torchcoffeelaboratory.com)

Torch Coffee Laboratory's Mountain recipe uses an exceptionally slow pour with the brewer's cone-within-a-cone design. Built-in turbulence supports high extraction from a coarser grind, seeking a sweet, developed cup with controlled flow.

Notes from Torch

Grind coarser than for a conventional cone and pour 220g in a very slow, low stream. Do not add stirring to the turbulence created by the inner cone; if the cup turns astringent, coarsen further or reduce pour height.

When it's done

It should finish dripping around 3:00. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:

  • Past 3:40? Grind coarser
  • Done before 2:20? Grind finer
  • Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
  • Sour and thin? Grind finer
