  1. Blooming (35s) · 50g
    Evenly saturate the coffee grounds to release CO₂ and activate flavor compounds.
  2. Main Extraction (45s) · 110g
    Pour remaining water to extract target compounds, controlling draw-down rate to finish.
  3. Main Extraction (60s) · 120g
    Pour remaining water to extract target compounds, controlling draw-down rate to finish.
