Your brew, your dose.

Water scales with coffee. Step times stay editable: larger batches do not automatically take proportionally longer.

Enter water per step at the base dose of 18 g. Your selected dose scales these amounts automatically. Set a step to zero for waiting or pressing.

Before starting the timer

  1. Secure a dry paper filter in the standard cap. Place the brewer on a sturdy cup; add and level the coffee.
  2. This guide uses the author’s optional standard-cap setup. Check chamber clearance; reduce the dose if needed.

Step 1 of 4 · 30s remaining in this step

Keep this page open and your device volume on. Sounds may not play when the tab is suspended or the screen is locked. Timing catches up when you return.

  1. 01

    Pour & mix

    Add 260 g Scale target: 260 g

    Start timing with the pour. Add water gradually, stir vertically back and forth, then seat the plunger. Avoid circular stirring.

  2. 02

    Swirl & steep

    Move the brewer off the scale. Hold both parts securely, swirl to level the bed, then leave it until the next step.

  3. 03

    Second swirl & wait

    Swirl again as this step begins, then let the grounds settle until pressing.

  4. 04

    Slow press

    Use light, steady pressure. Take longer if needed; never force the plunger.

BEFORE YOU BREW

Make the experiment useful.

  • The source also describes a Prismo water-first variation; that sequence is not used here.
  • The standard cap may drip during pouring. The 260 g target is a measured starting point, not a requirement to fill to the rim.
