The recipe
18.8 g in · 34 g out · 25 s · 92 °C
- Grind 18.8 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 34 g in 25 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
- Serve in the diner without waiting.
- The rosetta is set on at the pass, not poured — there is no steamed milk in this one, so it is drawn in the foam with a pick.
