This device embodies a precise approach to coffee brewing, emphasizing a fixed ratio of coffee grounds to water, typically six grams of coffee per one hundred grams of water. This method, popularized by the device, allows for repeatable results and highlights the nuances of different coffee beans. An example would be using 30 grams of coffee to brew a 500-gram (or milliliter) pot.
Precise water-to-coffee ratios are crucial for consistent, flavorful coffee. This specific ratio and the device designed around it offer control over extraction, allowing users to fine-tune their brew and achieve optimal flavor profiles. By providing a structured brewing process, this technology reduces variables and allows for experimentation with different grind sizes and bean origins. Historically, achieving such precision required specialized equipment and extensive knowledge, but this accessible device democratizes the process for both home baristas and professionals.
