If coffee cannot be controlled so well with your water heating device consider distributing flow more evenely with a FrankDrip

  1. Every 15 seconds, repeat the same 60 g pour until 240 g is achieved
  2. Wait 4-6 minutes

  5. Let coffee cool to desired temperature, remove cap and eject grounds and paper filter into appropriate waste stream
