Five Pour Micro Dose

by Lance Hedrick for Cafec Deep 27 original source (youtube.com)

Lance Hedrick's Deep 27 video presents this five-pour micro-dose for leftover or rare beans. A double bloom and larger middle pulse exploit the brewer's narrow bed, producing a properly extracted small cup rather than a hollow one.

Notes from Lance Hedrick

Grind coarser than for a normal V60; bed depth and repeated pulses supply contact time. The two-stage bloom should saturate the tiny bed completely before the larger middle pour raises slurry heat. Use a smooth stream without added stirring, and omit the final pulse if bitterness persists after coarsening.

When it's done

It should finish dripping around 1:50. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:

  • Past 2:10? Grind coarser
  • Done before 1:30? Grind finer
  • Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
  • Sour and thin? Grind finer
