Notes

Avoid pouring onto the filter walls — keep the spiral inside the bed. Blue Bottle emphasizes beans no more than two weeks from roast date. Their spiral pour technique moves from center outward, avoiding the filter walls. The 65.7g/L ratio is slightly more concentrated than typical, reflecting Blue Bottle's preference for a richer cup. Grind within 30 seconds of brewing.
