Ingredients
15g Coffee ‘Coffee + Whiskey’ Barrel Aged Coffee, medium fine grind size
While the water is heating, slice a 2-inch piece of lemon peel
and place in your carafe/mug, along with ½ tsp raw sugar, and about a
tablespoon of water
Measure and grind 15g of coffee a little
finer than normal to achieve consistency similar to sea salt.
Set
up your Origami dripper and holder over your carafe/mug atop a scale,
preferably with a timer.
Place the paper filter in the Origami
dripper and rinse your filter over the sink in order to reduce the paper
taste. *Make sure not to do this rinse over the carafe/mug you already
put the lemon peel/sugar into.
Add the fresh coffee grounds to
the filter and swirl gently to even them out.
Once the water has
reached the approximate temperature, wet the grounds evenly just enough
to coat them and start your timer. Allow the grounds to bloom for
approximately 30 secs.
Begin pouring the filtered water over the
grounds in a slow, circular motion, allowing them rise and fall
gradually but never letting them dry out.
Keep pouring until
you’ve measured approximately 225 ml of water. This should take roughly 2
– 3 minutes total time. Remove Origami dripper and enjoy!
