    Done

    Remove dripper before all foam falls into the server.

Notes

Requires a precision kettle for the point-drip technique. No traditional bloom phase — drip water drop-by-drop onto center until first drops appear in server. Remove dripper before all foam falls into server. Kono's short ribs prevent foam bypass.
