How they brew it

Agitation
aggressive circular pours throughout

“every pour is done in a circle, aggressively so that you agitate the grounds”

the creator said this · Brewing Recipe section

What it makes

Body
medium

Each pour is 50g of water at the following time: 00:00 00:40 01:10 01:40 2:10 2:40

we worked this out · six equal pours at a 1:15 ratio with aggressive agitation throughout suggests a medium body

Strength
medium

20g Coffee … 300g Water

we worked this out · 1:15 ratio is standard strength

Acidity
medium

300g Water (90-110 ppm at 92'C)

we worked this out · 92°C water with aggressive agitation at a moderate ratio suggests medium acidity

Style
balanced

every pour is done in a circle, aggressively so that you agitate the grounds

we worked this out · high agitation throughout produces a more textured, less clarity-focused cup, suggesting a balanced result

Suits
light, medium roasts

300g Water (90-110 ppm at 92'C)

we worked this out · 92°C is a moderate temperature suited to light and medium roasts; no dark roast guidance given
