Notes

This method maximizes the small press capacity by brewing a concentrate. Blue Bottle Japan recommends 35-40g for blends to achieve fuller body. The 1:8.6 concentrate ratio extracts intensely, so the 5-minute steep should not be exceeded. For iced lattes: pour concentrate over 150g of ice and milk instead of hot water.
