Preparation:

  • Prismo cap

  • Water: Use fresh, clean, and soft water between 40-120ppm.

  • Grind: Grind as finely as you can without causing clumping. Finer than percolation/drip, but not quite as fine as espresso. Around 16-18 clicks on a comandante.

Variation:

  • If it tastes sour, hollow, or metallic, grind finer. If it tastes drying, astringent, or harsh, grind coarser.

  • If the flavor is too delicate and transparent, try 1:16 by using 240g of water.

  • For more extraction complexity, try increasing the ratio to 1:18 by using 270g of water.
