Slow Drawdown

Swiss Gold Misc pourover by Mark Burness

Mark Burness's answer to the KF300's tight headspace: lift the dispersion insert briefly during the pour to wet the whole bed at once, then let the regulator finish the job slowly.

Notes

Water should be just off the boil — the long contact time wants the extra heat. Drawdown lands between 2:30 and 3:30. Grind coarser if it stalls.
