The lightweight, collapsible Helix from Soto is the ideal coffee maker (filter holder) for delicious pour-overs on the move.

The flexible, high-grade stainless steel inverted cone collapses down to just 20mm thick, disappearing into your bikepacking bags in its own mesh carry bag, which also holds more than enough filters for a bike-camping trip.

It comes with 10 filters, which are replacable at any good coffee shop / online…

NOTES.

Most pourover drippers work best when they’re between a half > two-thirds full of coffee grounds. Any less than that, and there won’t be enough coffee to restrict the flow. Apparently, a good coffee-to-water ratio is between 60-70 grams of coffee per liter of water.

Add just enough brewing water to wet all of the coffee (1:1-ish), then stop and let the CO2 escape for about 30 seconds to let the coffee swell to a “bloom”, before slowly pouring the rest of the water, to taste. 

Test out different coffee grind sizes and amounts to find your ideal brew…
