Small Dose

Solo v1 Misc pourover by Jackie Tran

Jackie Tran's small-dose method for his Solo dripper — 8g for expensive coffees like Geisha. Buy a 20g tube, brew 8g and cup the rest: two ways to experience the same coffee. The structure doesn't change from a full dose — soak everything, build through the middle, finish gently — only the dose shrinks.

Notes

Ratio stays 1:15; grind medium-coarse; water 40-80 ppm. The final pour drops to 85°C to stay gentle and avoid bitterness. Paper: lyocell Solo Hiflux — it lets more oils through, carrying aromatic compounds for more aroma and a rounder, softer texture. Any filter works, but Hiflux elevates the Solo. Three-pour version: 40g at 0:00, 40g at 0:40, and a final 40g at 1:20 dropping to 85°C.
