SOURCE & TIMING

Credited method. Independent guide.

Method by Mike G.. CupClarity independently wrote the instructions and drew the diagrams. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

This is the source’s nominal measured version (15 g / 214 g / 95 °C), not a claim that a scoop or chamber mark measures those values. Stir again at 1:00. Filling 15 s, stirring 5 s and pressing 35 s are estimates; headline total 1:40.

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 15 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

  1. Rinse a paper filter and secure the standard cap. Place the brewer over a sturdy cup and add the measured grounds.

This is the source’s nominal measured version (15 g / 214 g / 95 °C), not a claim that a scoop or chamber mark measures those values. Stir again at 1:00. Filling 15 s, stirring 5 s and pressing 35 s are estimates; headline total 1:40. Editing values creates your variation of the credited method.

Water input is not finished drink yield. This recipe is limited to 224 g of water; check your brewer’s usable capacity.

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).
