Ingredients

  • 1 –2 tbsp Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans freshly ground, please don’t disrespect it with old grounds
  • 240 ml filtered water clean water = clean taste, shocking concept
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp milk or cream only if you like it softer
  • Optional: sweetener of choice honey, sugar, or nothing if you’re feeling “pure”
  • A coffee grinder if you’re starting with whole beans
  • A pour-over setup or French press we’re keeping it flexible, not stressful

Instructions

  • Grind your beans
  • Grind your Jamaican Blue Mountain beans to a medium grind. Not sand, not gravel—think “table salt vibes.” Fresh grind = better flavor, always.
  • Heat the water (don’t boil it into chaos)
  • Heat water to about 90–96°C. If it’s boiling like a volcano, just let it chill for a minute. Overheating = bitter betrayal.
  • Bloom the coffee
  • Add grounds to your filter or French press. Pour a small amount of hot water over them and let it sit for 30–45 seconds. This step makes your coffee feel emotionally supported.
  • Brew it properly
  • Slowly pour the rest of the water in circular motions. Don’t rush it—this is not a race, it’s a ritual. Let it drip or steep for 2–4 minutes depending on your method.
  • Strain or press
  • If using a pour-over, let it fully drip. If using a French press, gently press down (no aggression needed).
  • Serve immediately
  • Pour into your favorite cup like you’re in a slow-motion coffee commercial.
