Setup Instructions

  1. Bring water to recommended temperature.
  2. Rinse filter paper with 100–200ml of water.
  3. Weigh 15g of coffee and grind to the recommended grind size.
  4. Place brewing device and chosen vessel onto scale.
  5. Place coffee into the brewer and shake to ensure a flat bed of coffee grounds. Tare scale.

Brewing Technique

  1. 0:00: Start your timer and quickly pour 40–50g of water to saturate the coffee grounds as quickly and evenly as possible.
  2. 0:30: Wait 30 seconds, then pour the next portion of water within 20s (finishing at 0:50s).
  3. 1:10: Wait 20 seconds, then pour the final portion of water within 20s (finishing at 1:30s).
  4. Your brew should finish its draw-down by the target time.

Water Chemistry & Quality

01

Mineral Composition: Crucial for extracting desirable solubles and complex aromatics.

02

Base Water: Must be filtered, chlorine-free, odorless, with a neutral pH around 7.

03

Magnesium & Calcium: Ions heavily dictate perceived acidity. Controlling KH maintains balance.

04

The Impact: Water chemistry represents the majority of your cup—get the base right!

Hot Tips

  • To prevent water from escaping without extracting, your pour should be slow and your water line should not go far above the coffee line.
  • If your brew is taking too long, try coarsening the grind, and visa versa.
  • The key to this recipe is focusing on your pouring structure, then using grind size to achieve your recommended brew time.
