December Dripper

Large Batch Stage 3

December's large-batch recipe uses the dripper's high-flow setting to manage a deeper, wider coffee bed without stalling. A coarser grind and pulse structure seek even extraction at sharing volume while retaining sweetness and balance.

Notes

Use the widest flow setting and distribute each pulse across the flat bed without washing the filter wall. For batches around 500-700ml, coarsen enough to finish near 3.5-4 min; late stalling usually signals excess fines or agitation.
