17 g of medium-fine grounds into the chamber.

Cooler water than V60 (85°C). Pour fast and stop at 220 g on the scale.

Two clean stirs with a paddle or chopstick. Cap with a rinsed paper filter in the basket.

Let it sit. Pre-heat your cup with hot water in the meantime.

Flip onto your cup. Plunge slowly and evenly. Stop when you hear the hiss. Done.
