Tips
- Use freshly ground coffee if possible.
- Always brew with a scale and stopwatch.
- Be brave and vary the amount of coffee until you find the optimal taste profile for you.
- After brewing, the coffee should be consumed directly or transferred to another container (e.g. thermos) to avoid over-extraction and thus bitterness.
