The recipe
18.2 g in · 35 g out · 26 s · 95 °C
- Grind 18.2 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 35 g in 26 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.
