We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!

Pour-Over Recipe
Using Stagg [X] Dripper
Ratio: 1:14.4
Coffee: 25 g
Water: 360 g
Bloom: 50 g for 30 seconds
Pulse Pours: After the bloom, pour two slow steady pours of 140 g each, then gently swirl the brewer and let the coffee drawdown.
All water should be poured by 2:15.
Total Brew Time: 2:30-3:00
Special Tip: Add 30 g of hot water to your finished brew. This dilutes it to an ideal concentration and prevents over-extraction that can occur during later stages of the brew process.
