How to Brew Filter Coffee: A Cheeky Guide for One

What You’ll Need:

  • 15g of your fave Coffee MIO filter roast
  • 225ml water (fresh, please)
  • Medium grind (think between espresso and plunger)
  • Total time: 3 minutes of caffeinated glory
  1. Boil That H2O
    Start with at least ½ liter of fresh water. Bring it to a boil while you prepare to rock this brew.
  2. Fold & Fit
    Fold your paper filter along the seams (like origami, but for coffee). Pop it into the cone and set it on your jug.
  3. Rinse & Warm
    Pour some boiling water through the filter to rinse away any papery taste and warm up the cone and jug. Dump the rinse water—no one’s drinking that!
  4. Grind & Load
    Weigh and grind your coffee to perfection, then drop it into the filter-lined cone. Place the cone on the jug, set it on your scales, and zero everything out. You’re ready for the real action.
  5. Bloom, Baby
    Start your timer and pour just enough boiling water to soak the grounds—about 40ml will do the trick. Let the coffee puff up like it’s showing off for 30 seconds.
  6. The Big Pour
    Slowly pour the remaining 225ml of water in a gentle circular motion. Aim to finish pouring in under 2 minutes. The magic should stop dripping by around the 3-minute mark.
  7. Stir, Sip, Smile
    Give the finished brew a quick stir, let it cool slightly (so you don’t scorch your tongue), and enjoy your masterpiece. Barista level: achieved.
