How to Make the Perfect Pour-Over Coffee at Home

Making pour-over coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. In this video, I’ll show you my simple method using a Chemex, 20 grams of coffee, and 300 grams of hot water to brew a smooth, clean, and balanced cup for one.

Here’s the recipe:
• 20g coffee, coarsely ground (like sea salt)
• 300g water at ~200°F (93°C)
• Brew time: about 2 minutes

Steps:
1. Rinse your filter and warm your server, then discard the water.
2. Add 20g of coffee to the filter.
3. Start with 100g of water, pouring in slow circles from the center outward. Let it bloom for 30 seconds as CO₂ escapes and aromas rise.
4. Add another 100g, wait 30 seconds, then finish with the last 100g.
5. Total brew time is about 2:10 for a clean, flavorful cup.

I’m using my iKape V2 Pro coffee scale, which connects to my phone via Bluetooth for real-time feedback. But any coffee scale with a timer will work just fine.

Whether you’re new to pour-over or want to refine your technique, this is an easy way to get café-quality coffee at home.

Can a cheap Irish stout kit really taste like Guinness?

In this video, I take a standard Irish stout kit and show you step-by-step how to brew it at home, then compare the final result to Guinness to see if it’s actually worth it.

Perfect for beginners – this is one of the easiest ways to start home brewing.

⸻

FULL BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

Ingredients:
• Irish stout beer kit
• 1kg brewing sugar (or beer enhancer for better body)
• Water
• Yeast (included in kit)

⸻

Method:

1. Sanitise everything
Cleanliness is key – anything touching the beer must be sanitised.

2. Add the malt extract
• Stand the can in hot water first (loosens it)
• Pour into your fermenter

3. Add sugar
• Add 1kg brewing sugar (or enhancer)
• Mix well with hot water until fully dissolved

4. Top up with cold water
• Fill to around 23 litres
• Aim for a temp of ~20°C

5. Add yeast
• Sprinkle yeast on top (no need to stir)

6. Ferment
• Leave for 7–10 days
• Keep around 18–22°C

7. Bottle or keg
• Add sugar for carbonation
• Store bottles for 2 weeks minimum

⸻

FINAL RESULT
• Smooth, dark stout
• Roasted flavour with slight bitterness
• Creamy head (depending on carbonation)

⸻

GUINNESS COMPARISON

Compared to Guinness:

Similarities:
• Dark roasted flavour
• Coffee/chocolate notes
• Easy drinking

Differences:
• Less creamy (no nitrogen effect)
• Slightly sweeter depending on sugar used
• Less “pub-style” smoothness

But for the price… it’s surprisingly close.

*Our Cold Brew Recipe:*
– 75g coffee, ground to a fine mokapot or AeroPress setting, or around a 250 micron burr gap. (If you’re worried then I’d err on the side of slightly finer than slightly coarser)
– 1L water suitable for filter coffee, room temperature
– 10 drops of fining agent – optional (we chose the Mangrove Jack’s Liquid Beer Finings – other finings agents do work, use the recommended dose from the package)
– Stir to make sure everything is completely mixed. You can be heavy handed with your stirring here.
– Put a lid on your container and leave for 12 hours in the fridge, for the grounds to settle.
– Gently pour off the liquid into a carafe. Take care to stop pouring when close to the coffee sediment

How to Make Cold Brew Coffee at Home – 2 Easy Methods!
Making delicious cold brew at home is easier than you think—and today, I’ll show you two simple ways to do it!

Whether you’re using a cold brew coffee maker or just a mason jar, the key to smooth, refreshing cold brew is getting the right ratio:
80–90 grams of coarse ground coffee per 1 litre of cold water.

With a cold brew maker:
Fill the coffee filter with grounds, add cold water, and you’re set.

With a mason jar:
Use coffee bags for an easy cleanup (highly recommended!). Just drop the coffee bag in, fill with water, and let it steep.

Steep your brew in the fridge for 24 hours, and you’ll have a batch of cold brew that’s smooth, rich, and perfect for hot days.

Want to level it up? Top your cold brew with homemade vanilla cold foam for a café-style Vanilla Cold Foam Iced Coffee—better than Starbucks!

This is how to prepare matcha correctly at home!

1. Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha to remove clumps.
2. Heat water to just below boiling.
3. Soak your bamboo whisk in warm water.
4. Mix a bit of hot water with the matcha.
5. Whisk vigorously in a “W” pattern until frothy.
6. Add more water for a thinner drink, if desired.
7. Sip immediately to enjoy it at its best.
Perfecting matcha takes practice, but it’s well worth the effort!
