The recipe
19 g in · 37 g out · 27 s · 93 °C
- Grind 19 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 37 g in 27 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
- Serve in the cortado without waiting.
- Serve straight away, while the crema is still whole.
