Method notes
The useful details that do not fit on a scale.
Rinse + preheat
Rinse the paper thoroughly with hot water, preheat the brewer, then discard the rinse water.
Make a well
Level the coffee bed and make a small well in the center before starting your timer.
Swirl gently
Swirl after the bloom so every ground is wet. Finish with a gentle swirl for a flat bed.
Dial by taste
If the cup tastes weak or sour, grind finer. If it tastes harsh or bitter, grind coarser.
