Source: swirl at 2:00, press at 2:30, finish near 3:00. Initial 15 s pour is estimated. This uses the author’s dark-roast 95 °C branch; medium-roast suggestion is 98 °C.
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 20 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
- Fit a paper filter in the standard cap. Use a sturdy receiving cup and check usable chamber space.
- Secure the filter cap, set the brewer upright over the cup and add the ground coffee.

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).
