With this brewing method, you pour the water directly onto the coarsely ground coffee, and the coffee starts flowing immediately. This produces a nice smooth and clean coffee. The sweet and fruity notes come out well in a cup of coffee using the kinto brewing method.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

  • Kinto 2-cup (for4 cups, use double the amount of coffee and water)
  • Kinto filter
  • A coffee carafe or a large mug that the coffee can pour into  
  • 12 to 16 grams of coarsely ground coffee  
  • 230 grams of water that's just shy of boiling 
  • Timer  
  • Scale  
  • Spoon  

STEP 1: HEATING

Heat the water until it's almost boiling. Place the paper filter in the Kinto coffee filter holder and set it on the pot. Now pour the hot water through the filter to rinse it and preheat the pot at the same time.   

STEP 2: PREPARATION

Pour the coffee into the filter and shake it gently so the coffee is evenly distributed. Place the filter on the carafe and set them both on the scale. Set the scale to 0 (tare). Now everything is ready to brew coffee!

STEP 3: ADD FLOUR & STIR

Set the timer and pour water over the coffee for about 5 seconds. Continue until you’ve added about 40 grams, then let the coffee sit for half a minute. Make sure all the coffee is thoroughly wet. The coffee will now “bloom” and rise slightly. This happens because all the gases that were still trapped in the coffee are now escaping. The coffee often bubbles a little, too. 

STEP 4: POURING

When the timer reaches 35 seconds, continue. Pour in circular shapes (from the outside in) in about a minute to 180 grams. The water is now well absorbed into the coffee. Wait very briefly for the water to run through a bit and then pour through to 230 grams. The whole process may take about 1.5 minutes. 

Does it take much longer than 1.5 minutes to reach 230 grams? If so, the coffee is ground too finely. And if you reach 230 grams in less than a minute, your coffee is probably ground too coarsely. Experiment a little with the time to make yourKintocoffee just the way you like it best.

STEP 5: POUR AND ENJOY

Do you like to drink your coffee very hot or, like Anne, do you sometimes forget you have any coffee left? Then preheat your mug with boiling water. Now remove the filter from the jug, pour the coffee into your (pre-heated) mug and now: enjoy!

In a thermos, you keep coffee at its tastiest until about half an hour.
