Pulse
by Bee House for Bee House
Presented without a named author or cited guide, this Bee House method uses repeated small pours to work with the wedge brewer's naturally restricted drainage. The goal is even extraction and a balanced, approachable cup.

Notes from Bee House
Let each pulse drain partially before adding the next, but keep the slurry from exposing the bed completely. Maintain a steady pulse size and height; if the cup tastes uneven, improve bed coverage before changing the grind.

It should finish dripping around 3:00. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:
- Past 3:40? Grind coarser
- Done before 2:20? Grind finer
- Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
- Sour and thin? Grind finer
