First, place a filter inside your brewer on top of your mug or server.
Rinse the filter with some hot water, then discard the water from your mug.
Add 16 grams of freshly ground coffee into your brewer.
Set the water temperature on your Kettle to 96°C
Place your brewer and server onto your scale and tare to zero.

First, start the timer and pour 50gr in a circular motion, making sure you cover all of the coffee grounds evenly.
Take your brewer and gently swirl it to ensure your coffee has been fully saturated.
Allow it to bloom for 30 seconds.

At 40 seconds, add an additional 100gr of water poured in a spiralling motion, starting in the centre and working out to the walls of the brewer.
At 1:20, pour the remaining 100gr of water, using the same pouring technique as the previous step.
Your brew should be ready at around 2:30m.
Remove brewer from your mug or server, give it a stir and enjoy.
