The recipe
18.9 g in · 38 g out · 27 s · 95 °C
- Grind 18.9 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
- Pull to 38 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 diner without waiting.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
