Pour schedule
- 0:00 — bloom Pour 45 g of water and wait 45 seconds. This is when the carbon dioxide leaves — without it the water can't pass evenly through the bed.
- 0:45 — Pour 2 Add 100 g (145 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
- 1:30 — Pour 3 Add 105 g (250 g in total), pouring slowly in circles and keeping off the edge.
- 2:20 — drawdown It should have drained by now. Much later, grind coarser; much earlier, grind finer.
Why this way: Decaffeination makes the bean more porous, so it extracts faster but carries less body. Slightly hotter water and a coarser grind restore the balance.
If it's off: Go one step coarser than usual. Decaf over-extracts easily.
