The process for 0,5 liters should take from 2 – 2,5 minutes with pouring and about 1 minute for the rest of the water to drip through
worked out from the recipe · a total brew time of roughly 3–3.5 minutes at an unspecified but typical filter temperature suggests moderate extraction and medium acidity
Style: clarity, worked out from the recipe. Show the evidence.
Place a filter in your dripper and rinse it with water
worked out from the recipe · paper filtration removes oils and fines, producing a clean, clear cup
Suits: light, medium roasts, worked out from the recipe. Show the evidence.
Have a look at our selection of filter roast coffees to find a suitable coffee
worked out from the recipe · the reference to filter roast coffees and the moderate ratio suggest light-to-medium roasts; no dark roast is mentioned or ruled out but the method is not optimised for it

Where the original recipe does not say how the coffee tastes, the flavour here is an estimate.
