    Drawdown complete. Target around 2:00.

Notes

This is the variant Hedrick reaches for when stepping up from the 7g–9g micro-brew range. At 10g the bed is deep enough that 5 pours becomes overkill — 4 pours gives the same shape with cleaner extraction. Same double bloom (25g + 25g) for proper saturation, then a big 70g pour that brings the water level very high — saturating the bed top to bottom and pushing fines onto the walls. After the big pour, let the bed drain "almost all the way" before the final 40g pour. That extra patience is the key to this version — without it the brew runs short on contact time. Same coarse grind as the 5-pour version, coarser than your normal V60. The bed depth and pour structure provide contact time, not the grind. For 7g–9g doses, drop down to the Five Pour Micro Dose. For doses above 10g, the Deep 27 is no longer the right brewer — switch to your V60.
