Suggested Brew Methods & Recipe:
FILTERED / DRIP: For a brighter, well rounded cup

-Weigh out your coffee and heat water.

-Tare out scale
-00:00: Start timer. Add 60 grams of water to bed of grounds and allow to bloom.
~00:40: Initiate first full pour of 140 grams of water (your scale will read 200 grams when done pouring).
~01:20: Initiate second pour of 100 grams (your scale will read 300 grams when done pouring)
~01:50: Initiate final pour of 60 grams (your scale will read the total weight of 360 grams when done pouring)
~03:45: Your extraction should be done dripping through. Set device aside and serve. Enjoy!
UNFILTERED / IMMERSION: For a viscous, creamy, juicy and complex cup
Recipe:
-Weigh out your coffee and heat water.
-Preheat your device
-Grind coffee fresh
-Add coffee to device
-Tare out scale
-00:00: Start timer. Mix coffee and water by swirling slurry until device is about 1/3 full.
-Place device back on scale
-Fill device until target water dose is reached.
-Place lid on device and gently plunge until grounds are submerged about 1 cm under liquid
~05:00: Remove plunger and lid. You will notice that all grounds will sink to the bottom.
-Quickly rinse plunger of foam.
-Take a couple spoons and gently scoop up remaining foam from the top of the device. It doesn't need to be perfect, but this will help clean the cup a little and avoid any potentially undesirable chalky or grittiness in the cup.
-Place lid back on device. Slowly plunge until you meet resistance from the grounds which have settled on the bottom. You may note that without the grounds it is very easy to depress the plunger.
-You can now decant the entire pot into a separate vessel and let rest for a few minutes if you wish to further minimize silt in your cup, or serve directly into your favorite drinking vessel.
-Enjoy!
