Before you start

You need

  • Bee House
  • Scale
  • Water at 95 °C (203 °F)

Prepare

  1. Rinse the filter and preheat the brewer with hot water.

Notes from Bee House

Rinse the paper filter with hot water first to preheat the dripper and wash away any papery taste. Grind medium-fine, slightly finer than a V60, for a sweet and even extraction.

When it's done

It should finish dripping around 3:00. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:

  • Past 3:40? Grind coarser
  • Done before 2:20? Grind finer
  • Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
  • Sour and thin? Grind finer
