Showhorse Pour Over
"A precision-focused pour-over technique using declining agitation to achieve exceptional flavor clarity and layered acidity in the cup."
The Coffee Chronicler
Tips & Preparation
- Background Knowledge:
- Designed for high flavor clarity, complexity, and distinct acidity.
- Uses a 'declining agitation' profile to extract sweetness and texture.
- Preparation:
- Prefers Cafec Abaca filters for consistent drawdown.
- Monitor roast level; adjust temperature (lower for darker, higher for lighter).
- Variations:
- Use a dispersion screen for the final pour to simplify the process.
- Can be adjusted with mineral water profiling (magnesium for fruit, potassium for aftertaste).
- Adjustments:
- If too strong/acidic, dilute with 5ml of water after brewing.
- Adjust grind size based on taste: finer for sweetness/extraction, coarser for clarity.
