Sauna

Clever Dripper S Clever by Berg Wu

Berg Wu, 2016 World Barista Champion, built his Sauna method on descending water temperatures: hot pours percolate through an open valve for brightness, then a cooler immersion draws out sweetness for a layered, complex cup.

Notes

You need a variable-temperature kettle — the whole method rides on pouring progressively cooler water. Unusually for a Clever, it brews on the server with the valve held open: the early pours percolate and drain like a pour-over, and only the final, coolest pour becomes a sealed immersion once you lift the dripper off.
