Bloom 45g @ 0:00 — Pour 45g in a slow, controlled spiral from center outward to saturate all grounds evenly. Allow to bloom for 45 seconds — naturals off-gas significantly and a full bloom prevents channeling in the flat-bed.
Pour 120g @ 0:45 — Pour steadily in slow concentric circles, keeping the water level consistent and avoiding the filter walls. Aim to reach 120g total by 1:15. Gentle agitation here helps even extraction across the flat Kalita bed.
Pour 210g @ 1:30 — Once the bed drops slightly but before it fully drains, begin a second steady pour to 210g total by 2:00. Maintain a medium-low pour height to minimize turbulence and preserve the soft, creamy body.
Pour 300g @ 2:15 — Final pour to 300g total, completed by 2:30. Pour slowly and centrally to avoid disturbing the bed edges. Allow to fully drain — drawdown should complete between 3:00 and 3:30. If draining faster, nudge grind finer by half a step.
