Notes

The original is medium-fine on a V60; for the Pro the deep bed plus dot ribs add drag, so go one click coarser at medium-coarse. The cup stays balanced and the drawdown lands in range. Bloom is 2× dose plus a swirl to settle the bed flat. The swirl is non-negotiable on a tall bed. Pour timings land later than on a V60 — the deep column needs more recovery between pulses. If you push them earlier the bed floods and the brew runs long. Final stir at 2:45 (gentle, around the edge to release fines from the wall) plus a swirl to tidy the bed. Drawdown around 5:00. If it stalls past 5:30, coarsen one more click.
