Oval Coffee Roasters Pour Over Single Serve Brewing Guide

Today we’re going to brew an Oval Coffee Roasters Pour Over Single Serve.

All you need is your Pour Over Single Serve sleeve and hot water. Start by tearing straight across the top of the sleeve. Remove the filter and gently rotate it open so the grounds settle evenly inside.

Once the filter is open, tear across the top along the perforation. Pull the arms apart and place the filter securely on top of your mug.

You’ll brew this coffee using four pours.

Bloom: Pour just enough hot water to fully saturate the grounds. You may see a little dripping, but the goal is to wet all of the coffee evenly. Let that sit for about 30 seconds.

Pour one: Fill the filter to the top. Allow the water to drip through as the coffee brews.

Pour two: When the water has almost fully drained, but not completely, do another full pour to the top. Let it drip through again.

Pour three: Once the water has finished draining, remove the filter and discard it.

Your coffee is ready to enjoy.
