Brewing tips

  • After extraction, adjust the 65°C water between 25 and 35 g while tasting. TDS 1.15-1.30 is only a reference; the finals used 25 g (TDS 1.23).
  • Grind slightly coarser and brew cooler for a clean cup. The source grinds 25 g at 38 clicks on a Comandante C60, sifts the fines with a coarse mesh, and uses 18 g.
  • Leave long gaps between pours to avoid under-extraction and stir thoroughly on the second pour to draw out the flavour. The filter is the ORIGAMI Wave paper filter.
