1 · 3 · 9

A Japanese-tradition hand-drip technique from Doha Coffee: a concentrated 1 · 3 · 9 build — bloom once, brew a strong center-poured concentrate, then dilute with a large bypass — for a clean, syrupy, sweet cup from medium and dark roasts.

  1. Bloom 1 / 6
    0:00

    Bloom with 40g and let the grounds degas and diffuse. Start the timer once the bloom is in.

    +40g→ 40g Center pour 10s
  2. Pour 2 / 6
    0:30

    Begin pouring slowly near the center to 105g.

    +65g→ 105g Center pour 20s
  3. Pour 3 / 6
    1:30

    Grow the stream gradually, pouring to 145g.

    +40g→ 145g Center pour 20s
  4. Pour 4 / 6
    2:40

    Finish with a stronger center pour to 200g — quick, but keep the bed intact.

    +55g→ 200g Center pour 15s
  5. Bypass 5 / 6
    2:50

    Lift the dripper and dilute the concentrate with 360g of bypass water, to 560g total.

    +360g→ 560g
  6. Done 6 / 6
    3:00

    Serve. Adjust the bypass to taste.

Notes

Same 1 · 3 · 9 ratio at any dose: bloom once, brew to a concentrate, then dilute with a large bypass. Match the dripper to the dose — Hario 01 or Kalita 101 for small doses. Start the timer only once the bloom water is fully in. Keep the early pours gentle and centered, then grow the stream after 1:30 and finish with a stronger center pour — without flooding and collapsing the bed. Fresh, gassy coffee starts extracting later than 1:30; that is fine. Adjust the final bypass to taste — less bypass gives a stronger cup.

Grinder

Comandante 18–20 clicks / EK43S 10–11 / ~966 µm.
