The recipe
17.9 g in · 35 g out · 30 s · 93 °C
- Grind 17.9 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 35 g in 30 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
- Serve in the mug without waiting.
- The leaf is set on at the pass, not poured — there is no steamed milk in this one, so it is drawn in the whip with a pick.
- Whip to soft peaks, no further, and spoon it on in one movement.
