Prismo Botanical

This recipe uses the Prismo mainly to avoid using the inverted method and keep the brew neat and tidy as we work. Also, I like to add a paper filter over the Prismo's metal one. It's useful to "block" too many oils, the guys at Télescope Café in Paris use this technique (and I love their coffee).

This is a first shot and is made to be tinkered with and improved.

  4. 00:45-1:15 Slowly pour the remaining water in a spiral until you get to 220g, keeping the stream as thin and delicate as possible
  5. 1:15-3:00 Put the plunger on top and let steep, leaving the brewer still
