Equipment we currently use:

• Orea V4 Narrow Dripper w/ Classic Bottom
• *Wave-style filter paper - Kalita 155/185, April etc. [note: We prefer April/Sibarist filters as these have a more consistent porosity and weight so drawdown times are more consistent.]
• Fellow Stagg EKG Kettle
• Distilled water, remineralised to 75ppm with Aquacode minerals
• **Melodrip w/ stand

Temperature:
90°C for honey-process/naturals/experimental coffees
92°C for washed-process and other clean coffees

15g Coffee (Medium-course grind settings ~ 1000µm) : 250g Water

0:00 Pour up to 50g, slow circular pouring-pattern at 5-7g/s close to the bed.
0:40 Pour up to 150g, using a high + slow circular pouring-pattern at 5-7g/s.
1:20 *Place Melodrip on top and tare. Pour an additional 100g, slow circular pouring-pattern at 5-7g/s
1:45-2:30 Final Brew Time

TDS: 1.26-1.32% (depends on coffee too, based on taste/preference)

*Currently, we have been using a Negotiator to press the filter "waves" against the wall for a no-bypass brew. We find that this significantly increases tactility without sacrificing clarity.
**Alternatively if you don't have a Melodrip, pour the additional 100g in a slow circular pouring pattern at a higher height to lift the fines and chaff.

Because of our roasting style, we highly recommend a flat-bed brewer to increase extraction efficiency with a flatter and more shallow bed compared to a conical brewer. We also find that this adds more sweetness and balance that compliments our roasting style.
