How to Brew the Perfect Pour-Over with Los Primos Coffee
How to Brew Los Primos at Home (No Fancy Gear Needed)
You don’t need a scale, a gooseneck kettle, or a barista setup to enjoy Los Primos the way it was meant to taste.
In fact, you can get an amazing cup using things you already have in your kitchen.
This simple method keeps the focus on the flavor — smooth, velvety, with cocoa, vanilla, and raisin notes.
What You’ll Need
- Los Primos
- Hot water (almost boiling)
- A regular mug
- A spoon
- Coffee filter
- Small pot or kettle
That’s it.
The Easiest Home Method: “Cup-Filter Brew”
1. Heat Your Water
Bring water to a boil, then wait 30 seconds.
This gets you close to the ideal temperature.
2. Prepare Your Filter
Option A — Coffee filter: Place it inside a small strainer over your mug.
Option B — Paper towel: Fold it into a cone shape and place it in the strainer.
(Yes — a paper towel works in a pinch and still gives great flavor.)
3. Add Your Coffee
Use 2 tablespoons of Los Primos for 1 mug.
No scale needed.
4. Bloom the Coffee (Super Easy)
- Pour a tiny splash of hot water over the grounds.
- Wait 15–20 seconds.
This step opens up the cocoa and raisin aromas — even without specialty equipment.
5. Pour in the Rest
Slowly pour hot water until your mug is full.
If the filter fills too fast, give it gentle stirs with a spoon.
6. Enjoy Your Cup
Remove the filter and take your first sip.
You should taste:
- Cocoa
- Vanilla
- Raisin
- Smooth, velvety body
Los Primos was designed for moments like this — simple, comforting, flavorful.

The 4-Minute “Open Pot Coffee” (Honduran Campo Style)**
This method is used in many Honduran homes — no filter needed.
Steps:
- Add 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per cup into a pot.
- Add water and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Turn off heat and let settle for 2 minutes.
- Pour slowly so the grounds stay at the bottom.
This gives a stronger, more rustic cup — perfect for El Trueno too.
