How to brew delicious coffee

—How to Brew Hand Drip Coffee—

We would like to introduce the hand drip coffee brewing method recommended by Sarutahiko Coffee.
We hope you enjoy delicious coffee in the comfort of your own home.



○ Hot Coffee Recipe

Grind size: Medium to medium-fine grind

Yield Grounds (Dark Roast) Grounds (Light Roast)
180ml 16g 12g
360ml 27g 23g
540ml 35g 31g

 

 

○ Iced Coffee (Flash Brew) Recipe

The brewing process is the same as for hot coffee, but use half the amount of hot water and add ice afterwards to flash-chill the coffee.

Yield Grounds (Dark Roast) Grounds (Light Roast) Ice
90ml 16g 12g Approx. 70g (4+ ice cubes)
180ml 27g 23g Approx. 160g (8+ ice cubes)
270ml 35g 31g Approx. 200g (10+ ice cubes)



—Brewing Steps—



 STEP.1 Blooming
Pour in a circular motion, avoiding the paper filter. (A good rule of thumb is 1.5 to 2 times the amount of water as the weight of the grounds used.)
⏱TIME: ~0:30



STEP.2 Drip Brewing
Aiming to extract the flavors thoroughly, pour slowly and carefully, one drop at a time, targeting the center.
⏱TIME: Dark Roast: ~0:30 to 1:30
     Light Roast: ~0:30 to 1:00



STEP.3 Thin Stream
Gradually increase the pour without letting the grounds settle completely.
⏱TIME: Dark Roast: ~1:30 to 2:30
     Light Roast: ~1:00 to 1:50



STEP.4 Thick Stream
Maintain a state where the grounds do not sink too far but are not submerged too deeply.
⏱TIME: Dark Roast: 2:30 to 3:20
     Light Roast: 1:50 to 2:30

Pro tip: Do not let all the liquid in the dripper drain out entirely at the end.◎
