The recipe
18.9 g in · 36 g out · 24 s · 91 °C
- Grind 18.9 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 36 g in 24 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
- Serve in the tulip without waiting.
- The tulip 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.
