timer. At 0:00, pour* 45 ml water at 3-4 ml/s to bloom the grounds.
(Optional: gently swirl the cone to make sure all the grounds are evenly
saturated.)
*N.B: the pouring pattern in this recipe is generally in a
circular pattern, going around and making sure to cover all the surface
area. Refrain from pouring too close to the edge and hitting the filter
wall. Keep the spout height at the same level when pouring, with the
spout tip hovering about 2 inches above the cone.

facilitate an even drawdown. Total brew time should be around 2:30-2:45.

Recipe Note
TIPS AND TRICKS
Since we're brewing a light roasted coffee on a small
cone, I like to keep the water column fairly high during the brew
(ca.0.75-1 inch) for better thermal retention and extraction.
