Notes

Gagné's approach uses the Tricolate's no-bypass design (water can only go through the coffee bed, not around it) to achieve very high extraction with fine grinds. Boiling water and fine grind create extraction levels of 22-24%. The long drawdown is expected and intentional. This produces an exceptionally sweet, complex cup. Target 5:00-7:00 (expected for fine grind).
