April Brewer

April Coffee's Patrik Rolf uses repeated small pours in his signature April Brewer recipe, working with its calibrated flat-bottom flow. The structure extracts evenly and presents light-roast coffee with pronounced sweetness and clarity.

Notes

Keep the kettle stream soft and repeat the same circular pattern for each addition, avoiding the paper edge. Let the water level fall predictably between pours. Dial by taste: grind finer for a short, sour cup and coarser for astringency.
