• The grinding fi neness is one of the decisive factors. If it is too fi ne, the water takes too long
to percolate through, which involves a longer brewing time. If the grind is too coarse, the
brewing time is too short because the water passes through too quickly. A medium grinding
fi neness is therefore recommended for the pour-over method. The grain size of conven-
tional table salt can serve as a model. If you want to be on the safe side, let a barista of your
choice grind a small portion of the beans and use this as a comparison when grinding at
home.

Dosage

• To obtain a successful result, the ratio of coffee powder to water is crucial. If the water
content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If you use too much coffee powder, the
coffee becomes too strong. We recommend that you start off with a ratio of 1:17, which is
roughly equivalent to 15 g of coffee per 250 ml of water. Of course, tastes vary from person
to person, so you need to get to know your own ideal ratio.

Water

• Along with the coffee beans, water is the main component of your coffee. You should
therefore make sure that the quality of the water you use for brewing your coffee is good.
Since tap water is often too hard, we recommend that you use fi ltered water. For a par-
ticularly fi ne taste you can also use still mineral water. Here, too, you should experiment,
because not every mineral water tastes the same.
•
In addition to the water quality, the water temperature is also decisive for the taste of
your coffee. For best results, pour water at a temperature between 92 and 96 °C over the
freshly ground coffee. Always avoid brewing the coffee with boiling water! If the water is
too hot, valuable ingredients in the coffee powder can burn, which makes the coffee bitter.

Paper Filter

• The choice of paper fi lter should not be underestimated. The paper fi lter thickness can
affect the aroma of the coffee. The thinner the paper fi lter, the fewer particles of the paper
fi lter get into your coffee and the more permeable it is to the coffee aromas.
• In addition, you should always moisten the paper fi lter before fi lling it with freshly ground
coffee powder. The hot water causes the paper fi lter to lose its own taste and the coffee
fi lter and the coffee pot are preheated.
For best results we recommend our BEEM Pour Over Paper Filters 100 pcs – Size 2. The natural
fi lter bags are not bleached and are therefore free from artifi cial substances, so that the taste
of your coffee is not negatively affected. Due to their pointed shape they adapt wonderfully to
the fi lter cone and ensure that everything stays in place. They also have a small tab that makes
it easier for you to open the fi lter bag. The paper fi lters can be obtained from selected specialist
stockists, directly via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on
request.
As you can see, in the preparation of pour-over coffee there are many variables that
can infl uence the fi nal result. Therefore it is important for you to enjoy the process of
experimentation until you have found the perfect mixture for you.
