the creator said this · step 01
Kettle: gooseneck implied by pour-over context; circular motion pours described
pour water in circular motion
we worked this out · circular motion pours over a V60 imply a gooseneck kettle for control; no kettle type is named
Agitation: circular motion pours
“pour water in circular motion”
the creator said this · steps 05 and 06

Style: clarity
pour water in circular motion to 200g
we worked this out · V60 conical paper with pulse pours and no agitation beyond circular pouring produces a clean, clear cup
Suits: light, medium roasts
30 grams of fresh-roasted, whole-bean coffee
we worked this out · 93 °C water and medium-fine grind suit light to medium roasts; no roast guidance is given so dark is not excluded but the temperature is on the lower end for dark
