Add filter to brewer and pre-wet filter with brew water.
Grind coffee to medium fine and add to brewer.
At 0:00, bloom coffee with 60 grams of water (3x coffee weight). Start with a center pour and slowly work outward making sure to fully saturate all of the coffee grounds. After completely the pour, swirl brewer somewhat aggressively to help fully saturate the grounds.
At ~0:45, pour additional 130 grams of water (half of the remaining water weight). For pour, again start in the center and work towards outside making sure to fully saturate all the coffee grounds, but not pour directly on the paper filter. After completely the pour, swirl brewer gently to level the coffee bed.
At ~1:45, pour the final 130 grams of water. Again, start in the center and work outward. After the pour, swirl the brewer quite gently.
Allow coffee to draw down. Total brew time should be between 2:45-3:30.
