How to brew

  1. Pour40g

    Pour to 40 g — bloom

  2. 0:10Wait

    Rest — let the bed knit

    The flat bottom evens the flow; the bloom sets the bed it needs.

  3. 0:45Pour140g

    Pulse one: slow circles to 140 g

  4. 1:10Wait

    Let the water sink to the bed

  5. 1:30Pour230g

    Pulse two: pour to 230 g

  6. 1:55Wait

    Sink again — keep the bed level

    Pulsing keeps the slurry shallow, so temperature and contact stay even.

  7. 2:15Pour320g

    Pulse three: pour to 320 g

  8. 2:40Wait

    Draw down — done by 3:30
