Notes

Keep the pour rate steady and cover the coffee evenly; imperfect circles matter less than avoiding sudden surges and dry patches. Let the slurry settle similarly between pours, then assess the cooled cup. Grind finer if it is thin and sour, or coarser if it is bitter, drying, or slow to drain.
