Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 grams coffee ground medium fine
  • 250 grams 207°F (97°C) water

Instructions

  • Bloom coffee with 30 grams of 207°F (97°C) water
  • At 0:20, pour 70 grams of water in the center
  • At 0:40, pour 100 grams of water in the center
  • At 1:20, pour 50 grams of water in a spiral pour
  • Brew should complete around 2:10

Notes

  • Ideal for light to medium roasted coffee
  • Grind fine for more consistent grind distribution, more body, and more sweetness.
  • Use hard water at 150 TDS and 38 kH for faster flow rate and higher acidity
  • The hotter water is used for faster flow rate and efficient extraction
  • The grind size should be 540 microns, which is around 18 clicks on the Comandante C40 (about 9-10 on Baratza Encore)
  • If your total brew time is off, adjust grind size to achieve target drain time +/- 15 seconds
