Considering the 32g remaining weight, this recipe uses 16g to allow for two consistent brews. For this medium-dark roast, controlling bitterness in the latter half is key.

By pouring a larger volume early on to capture aromatics and decreasing subsequent pours, we ensure a clean sweetness without extracting harsh late-stage notes.

The high calcium and alkaline pH of your bottled water enhance body but can mute acidity; brewing at 93°C helps maintain a balanced profile.

The narrow opening of the Orea V4 naturally restricts flow. Use gentle center pours to facilitate even extraction throughout the bed.

While it's cold outside, this recipe emphasizes heavy, sweet notes perfect for enjoying in the warmth of your home.
