Five Pour Micro Dose

The Deep 27 shines at micro doses because the steep angle keeps a usable bed depth even at 7g–9g; on a regular V60 you would lose all bed depth and the brew tastes hollow. Grind coarser than your normal V60 — the 5-pour structure and bed depth provide contact time, not the grind. Going fine just makes the cup bitter and hollow. The double bloom (20g + 20g) compensates for water falling past the small bed without saturating it; the big middle pour spikes temperature, jump-starts diffusion, and lifts fines onto the walls. Pour with a smooth steady stream — no need for turbulence with this many pours. If the cup is too bitter at your grind, drop the last pour and run a 4-pour version. If too watery, go slightly finer or shrink the ratio to 1:15 / 1:14 keeping the same pour proportions. For 9g–10g doses, switch to the 4-pour 1:16 variant — same brewer, slightly different pour structure.
