I recently acquired a Hario pour-over. Have been getting my beans at micro roasters and specialty stores for a while (since the waning of wining, so to speak, with the arriving of my daughter, and I need some sort of drink interest), but up until now been content with an auto-drip/regular filter and/or French Press.
What is your preferred method of brewing a cup (or jug or whatever)?
I can't say much about the Hario yet, as I need to do some trial and error wrt amount and grinds and speed, etc, but my French Press method is this:
Relatively course grinds at 60g to a litre of water. Letting it stand for 4 mins without the lid/press to let the fumes escape, then scoop out the coffee on top and preferably most of the foam, let it stand for another 30 sec, lid on and press down. This gives a much cleaner and clearer cup, and the aromas of the beans come out.
But I'm learning. So give me your best tips!?
