Steps

Open the filter into a cone with the three-layer side over the spout. Add the coffee.
- 0:00 to 0:30
Bloom
Bring the water to the boil, take it off the heat and wait until it stops boiling hard. Pour a little in circles to wet all the coffee and let it bloom for about 30 seconds.
- after
Pour887 g ours
Pour the rest slowly, in circles or back and forth, keeping the level at least a quarter inch (about 6 mm) below the rim, up to 887 g.

Four sides of the cup
- Clarity: Clean, separated flavours, little sediment. Our reading: A paper filter keeps oils and fine particles out of the cup.
Our tips
For your next brew: try it and taste.
Grind
Medium-coarse
Sour or thin: grind a little finer. Bitter or drying: a little coarser.
moves extraction
New coffee, same roast level: keep the recipe and change only the grind.
Coffee : water
More water per gram tastes lighter and clearer; less tastes more intense.
