Notes

Rinse and preheat first, then bloom until all grounds are visibly wet. Continue in slow concentric circles over the coffee rather than the paper, holding the slurry level steady. Grind immediately before brewing; if drawdown is uneven, improve kettle height and circle consistency before changing grind.
