01 · MAKE IT YOURS

Your brew, your dose.

Start with the original settings below. Coffee dose is the weight of dry grounds; changing it scales the water automatically. Temperature is the water temperature when pouring. Step times do not scale automatically.

Enter water per step at the base dose of 17 g. Your selected dose scales these amounts automatically. Set a step to zero for waiting or pressing. The actual amount to pour appears beneath each field and in the guided steps.

Before starting the timer

Step 1 of 4 · 15s 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.

In each pour, “Add” is the water for that step. “Scale target” is the cumulative water added since the start: tare before the first pour, not between pours. The timer advances automatically; pause if you need more time. Duration fields use seconds (60 s = 1 minute).

  1. 01

    Initial wetting

    Add 37 g Scale target: 37 g

    Wet the grounds evenly with the first addition.

  2. 02

    Top up

    Add 153 g Scale target: 190 g

    Bring the water to the displayed cumulative target.

  3. 03

    Steep

    Seat the plunger gently to limit dripping and wait.

  4. 04

    Press

    Press gently into your cup; allow another minute to cool before tasting.
