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. Second pour rhythm — small circular motions from center outward: when the foam rises, pause; resume when the center indents; gradually increase the pour volume.
