5-Pulse Single Cup

Fellow Stagg XF Fellow by Fellow

Fellow's five-pulse single-cup method uses small, equal additions in the tall Stagg XF. Repeated gentle agitation and partial drawdowns work with the flat bed to encourage even extraction, producing a developed cup with sweetness and clarity.

Notes

Keep pulse size and kettle flow consistent, allowing only partial rather than complete drainage between additions. Watch the exposed bed for dark, dry patches and cover them on the next pass; coarsen if repeated agitation brings a rough finish.
