Pour Over

Thorne and Thatches' Roasters Notes: 

In Boot Hill, there’s a certain quiet that comes with the pour over.


No clang of spurs, no echo of gunfire… just the slow spiral of water and the steady breath of a bean giving up its final song.

​

This isn’t a race. It’s a ritual. A way to slow the world down until it feels right again. The kettle hums, the grounds wait, and the air grows thick with the promise of something worth the time it takes.

​

We pour in circles here… small, deliberate ones… the kind that test a man’s steadiness. Every drop is a promise, every pause a prayer.

​

The first pour wakes the dead: 45 grams, blooming for half a minute. Then comes the draw… two slow pours, raising the weight to 250 grams total. By the third minute, the stream fades to a whisper, and what’s left behind is something sacred.

​

Fifteen grams of coffee. Two hundred and fifty grams of water. That’s all it takes… and everything depends on how you pour.


It isn’t about speed it’s about grace under pressure.
A quiet duel between heat and patience.
The kind of ritual that turns a morning into a moment worth remembering.

Thorne and Thatches' Guide to: Pour Over

What you Need

​

  • 15 grams of fresh Boot Hill Coffee — ground like table salt, even and true

  • 250 grams of water — just off the boil, about 200°F

  • One V60 dripper or any cone worth its salt

  • One paper filter, clean and pure

  • A scale and timer, to keep your hand honest

 

The Method

​

  1. Prime the paper
    Rinse the filter with hot water. Let it wash away the papery ghosts, warming your vessel for what’s to come.

  2. Add the grounds
    Drop your 15 grams into the cone. Give it a soft shake, like settling dust before a duel.

  3. The Bloom — The Bean’s Breath.
    Start your timer and pour 45 grams of water. Let it swell, hiss, and breathe for 30 to 45 seconds.
    That’s the bean’s first and final sigh — its swan song before rebirth.

  4. Pour 1 — The Rise
    At 0:45, begin your pour again. Small, steady circles. Bring the total to 150 grams. Don’t rush. The coffee will tell you when it’s ready to take more.

  5. Pour 2 — The Reckoning
    At 1:15, pour up to 250 grams total. By the time you finish around 2 minutes, the slurry should glimmer dark as gun oil.

  6. Drawdown — The Settle
    Let gravity do its work. The grounds will fall silent around 3 to 3:30 minutes. When they do, you’ll know peace has passed through fire.

  7. The Swirl
    Swirl the carafe, mix the layers, and pour into your cup. The surface should shimmer like a desert mirage.
