My go-to recipe, as a general structure, has been as follows:

0:00 (open) - pour up to 3x the coffee weight
0:30 (open) - pour up to 10x the coffee weight
1:00 (closed) - pour up to 16x the coffee weight
1:45 - open valve and drawdown

I’ve been really enjoying the results from this recipe but would like to try some others too. If anyone has a go-to recipe I’d love to hear about it!

    I probably make shit coffee but from what I understand, you are supposed to open it only a fraction of the way. When it’s completely open, it forces it through the filter and that’s what makes it bitter.

    I fill it to the brim and let it steep for 4 minutes, then slowly draw it out over 30-45 seconds. I try to hit the spot where I’m barely lifting the ball up.

    I also heard stirring it help (both when you first put the liquid and then before draw).

      Huh, can’t say I’ve ever heard that before but I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’ve always heard when it’s fully open it acts the same as a V60. Maybe I’ll try opening it only slightly and see if I notice a difference.
