Bee House Dripper

You will need a 12 ounce ceramic cup or a 12 ounce carafe for serving, a hot water kettle with a small opening to control the water flow, #2 white cone coffee filters “melitta style”, a gram scale, a bag of your favorite Kubal coffee, a burr grinder, and a small dose of patience.

• Start 12 ounces of water on the heat
• Fold filter edges, open and place in the ceramic Bee House dripper
• Weigh out 27g of beans (this is approx. 3 heaping scoops of beans but weighing gives the best tasting results)
• Grind the beans on a setting that gives you a texture slightly finer than sand
• run some fairly hot water from the tap through the filter to wash out the paper taste
• place ground coffee in the now damp filter and tap on counter twice to level
• set ceramic dripper on top of your chosen mug
• Wait 20 seconds after the 12 oz water has boiled and begin pouring a couple ounces over the grounds and stop
• let the grounds stand for 30 seconds then begin pouring a thin stream of water starting from the center and moving out
• Create a spiral patern as your pour but never touch the edge of the filter, keep your pour somewhat centered.
• After all the water is poured wait until the final drips and simply discard, clean he dripper, and enjoy your Cafe Kubal coffee!
• Now begin in the middle, slowly pouring concentric circles of hot water coming only one inch from the filters edge and then back into the center
• the last bit of water you pour should be poured steadily into the center of the grounds until gone
• Your grounds should form a “cone” shape once all the water has dripped through
• Simply discard the filter and grounds, pour, and enjoy!

 

Chemex Pour Over

• First measure out 12 ounces (about 340g) of cold water and put on heat
• Weigh out 29g of beans or 3.5 scoops
• Take your Chemex bonded filter and count out 3 corners and open to fit into the top of the Chemex
• The layer of three should face the pour spout
• Next rinse the filter with fairly hot water from the tap
• Discard the rinse water by pouring slowly into sing through the pour spout
• Grind your beans on a setting only one notch courser that the Bee house dripper
• Once your 12 ounces of water has begun to boil take it off the heat and allow to stand for 20 seconds
• With the ground coffee in the rinsed filter begin pouring only 3 ounce of hot water over the dry grounds
• let stand for 30 seconds
• Now begin in the middle, slowly pouring concentric circles of hot water coming only one inch from the filters edge and then back into the center
• the last bit of water you pour should be poured steadily into the center of the grounds until gone
• Your grounds should form a “cone” shape once all the water has dripped through
• Simply discard the filter and grounds, pour, and enjoy!
