How to Brew Single Serve Pour Over Coffee at Home

Quick answer

Brewing single serve pour over coffee at home is simple: place the filter over your mug, pour hot water over the grounds, and let it drip through. Unboxme's pour over kit makes it even easier with pre-portioned filters.

Step-by-step brewing guide

1. Boil water: Heat fresh, filtered water to about 200°F (just off a rolling boil). Let it sit for 30 seconds after boiling to avoid scorching the grounds. Water that's too hot can make your coffee bitter; too cool and it will be weak.
2. Prepare the filter: Open your Unboxme pour over filter and place it securely over your mug or carafe. The biodegradable filter fits most standard mugs. Make sure the filter is centered and the paper edges are folded down to prevent collapse.
3. Bloom the grounds: Pour a small amount of hot water (about 2 tablespoons) over the grounds, just enough to wet them evenly. Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to bloom and release gases. Skipping the bloom can lead to uneven extraction and a flat taste.
4. Pour the rest of the water: Slowly pour the remaining hot water in a steady spiral motion, starting from the center and moving outward. Aim for about 6-8 ounces total. Let it drip through completely. Pour too fast and the water will overflow; pour too slowly and the coffee may over-extract and taste bitter.
5. Remove and enjoy: Once the dripping stops, carefully remove the filter and discard it. Give your coffee a quick stir and enjoy immediately. Don't let the coffee sit on the grounds after brewing—it can become bitter.
