Brewing Steps
Step 1
Weigh 16 g of coffee for a single cup (250 ml of water) or 32 g of coffee for 500 ml of water.
Step 3
Place the filter paper in the dripper and rinse it with hot water. Add the coffee, position the dripper over a mug or server and tare the scale.
Step 5
After 30 seconds, continue pouring the remaining water slowly and steadily. Pour in gentle circular motions, moving from the centre outward and then back toward the centre to ensure even extraction.
Step 7
Gently stir the coffee before drinking and allow it to cool slightly. Enjoy.
Step 2
Grind the coffee to a medium-coarse setting. As grind size directly affects flavour, experiment with your grinder to find the ideal setting. Grind coarser for a richer, more bitter cup and finer for a brighter, lighter profile.
Step 4
Start the timer and pour 30–60 g of water, ensuring all grounds are saturated. Allow the coffee to bloom for 30 seconds.
Step 6
The brew should reach the target 250 g or 500 g water weight at approximately 1:45. The pouring schedule remains the same for both recipes. Total brew time may vary depending on grind size and the coffee beans used.
