Flavor & Aroma
A few reliable starting points - adjust to taste.
Bloom the grounds with double their weight in water for 30 seconds, then pour the remaining water in slow, steady circles.
Add grounds and water, stir gently, steep 4 minutes, then press slowly and pour immediately to avoid over-extraction.
18g in, 36g out, in 25-30 seconds is a solid default - adjust grind finer to slow the shot, coarser to speed it up.
Use filtered water and a clean machine - most flavor issues in drip coffee come from equipment, not the beans.
Steep coarse grounds in cold water for 12-18 hours, strain well, then dilute the concentrate with water or milk to taste.
