Step-by-Step

Blooming (45s) · 45g
Pour 45g of hot water to wet all the grounds evenly, then gently swirl the dripper to ensure the water and coffee grounds are completely mixed for blooming.
First Pour (30s) · 105g
Gently pour water up to the 150g mark to intensively extract bright acidity and aromatic compounds.
Second Pour (30s) · 100g
Pour water up to the final target of 250g. Immediately after pouring, swirl the dripper gently to encourage a flat coffee bed for a balanced finish.
Drawdown (75s)
Wait for the water to fully pass through the filter and coffee bed. The extraction finishes cleanly, leaving a flat coffee bed.
