Coffee

Ben Salinas, 1 cup

Adapted from Jason Dominy’s technique for the Clever Coffee Dripper

• Heat water to 93°C.
• Place a filter in the brewer (we use this Bonavita one)
• (Optional, but recommended) Rinse filter with hot water and drain water from the brewer.
• Grind 23g of coffee and place it in the empty filter.
• Pour 320g of hot water over the coffee.
• (Optional, but recommended) Gently stir the coffee slurry to insure the grounds are not all clumped at the top.
• Let steep for 2 minutes and then drain over your mug.

Setting the Grind

For simplicity, I’ve chosen to keep the variable of coffee dose (23g), water dose (320g) and steep time (2 minutes) fixed. Then, as needed, I adjust the grind setting based on taste.

As Jason Dominy suggests, we are shooting for most of the coffee to be drained after 1 minute and 30 seconds of draining. If you have a lot of liquid at that point, you need to coarsen the grind. If it drains too much faster than that, then you need to adjust the grinder to grind finer.
