Hybrid Method

December Dripper Misc pourover by December Dripper

December's official hybrid method exploits the adjustable valve to move from closed immersion into controlled percolation. The opening phase develops weight and sweetness, while the flowing finish adds definition for a clear yet rounded cup.

Notes

Fully close the valve for uniform saturation, then open it halfway without disturbing the brewer. Use the valve, rather than aggressive stirring, to control contact time. If the cup is hollow, extend immersion; if chalky, release earlier or grind coarser.
