How to Brew a Perfect Cup of Pour-Over Coffee

This guide outlines the steps to brew specialty coffee using a V60 or Chemex device.

Materials and Tools:

• 20 grams of freshly roasted coffee beans
• 300 milliliters of hot water (ideally 92°C to 96°C)
• A pour-over device (V60 or Chemex)
• Paper filter
• Grinder (Burr grinder recommended)
• Digital scale
• Kettle (Gooseneck kettle recommended)
• Mug or carafe

Steps:

• Grind the Beans: First, weigh 20 grams of beans and grind them to a medium-fine consistency (resembling sea salt).
• Heat and Rinse: Next, boil 300 ml of water. Place the filter paper into the pour-over device and rinse it with a small amount of hot water. This step removes the papery taste and preheats the mug. Discard the rinse water.
• Add the Coffee: Then, pour the ground coffee into the filter and gently shake the device to level the coffee bed. Place the entire setup (mug, device, and coffee) onto the digital scale and zero it out.
• The Bloom (0:00 – 0:45): Start the timer. Pour 40-50 ml of hot water evenly over the grounds, ensuring all coffee is saturated. Wait for 30–45 seconds; this allows the coffee to “bloom” (release CO2).
• Pour Slowly (0:45 – 2:00): Continue pouring water in slow, circular motions, working your way outward and then inward again. Avoid pouring directly onto the filter paper. Aim to reach 200 ml total weight.
• Final Pour (2:00 – 3:00): Pour the remaining water until the scale reads 300 ml. Ensure the pouring is complete by the 3:00 mark.
• Serve: Wait until all the water has completely dripped through the filter. Remove the device and enjoy your perfect cup of coffee.

How to Safely Change a Flat Car Tire

This guide provides crucial steps for replacing a flat tire with a spare tire.

Materials and Tools:

• Spare tire (ensuring it is properly inflated)
• Car jack
• Lug wrench
• Owner’s manual (optional)
• Wheel chocks or bricks (for safety)

Steps:

• Safety First: Immediately pull over to a safe, flat area away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights. If possible, place wheel chocks behind a tire that is not flat.
• Loosen Lug Nuts: Use the lug wrench to loosen (but not fully remove) the lug nuts on the flat tire. Turn them counter-clockwise, usually a half-turn.
• Position the Jack: Consult your car’s owner’s manual to find the designated jacking point near the flat tire. Place the jack firmly under this point.
• Raise the Car: Crank the jack to lift the tire completely off the ground. Ensure the car is stable before proceeding.
• Remove the Flat Tire: Once the car is raised, fully unscrew the lug nuts and remove the flat tire. Lay the flat tire under the car as an emergency buffer.
• Install the Spare: Lift the spare tire onto the wheel studs and screw the lug nuts back on by hand until they are snug.
• Lower and Tighten: Lower the car back to the ground using the jack. Now, use the lug wrench to fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
• Final Check: Remove the jack and all tools. Drive slowly to the nearest service station to have the lug nuts checked and the spare tire pressure confirmed.
