Thanks for that. I'll give that a go with this coffee, slowing it down sounds sensible. I'm not too far from the end of the bag so I was talking more in general terms for method recommendation. I have a wilfa svart for the daily.

It'll totally depend on your grind setting.

The finer you grind the fewer pours, so you might do 70g bloom & 2 pours of 200g at 45s intervals at a fine grind.

A bit coarser might be 60g bloom & 3 pours of 140g at 40s intervals (I'd probably plumb for this one).

A bit coarser still might be 70g bloom & 4 pours of 100g at 30s intervals...pick one that is most intuative, stick with it and dial in the grind at a setting where you have to adjust it the least.

Whether you brew with 470g total, or 480g total won't make much difference, but when dialling in a regime, stick to one weight or the other.

Either way the common denominator seems to be a slower pour than my usual method. I'll give this a try, thanks for your wisdom!

One last thing, assuming I've understood 'intervals' in this context, how fast should the pours be? i.e. 140g in, wait 40s, then another 140g, wait another 40 secs and so on. but should I be pouring to a aimed time? (i.e. that 140g in over 20s? and then waiting 40 seconds) or would I be starting the 40s count when I begin each 140g pour? i.e. that pour may organically finish after 25 seconds, leaving me a 15s wait before starting the next pour. (come to think of it, the latter makes most sense).

Thanks again.

You really want the stream to drop straight down from the kettle spout, not 'hose' in an arc It's likely that to maintain this, your pour will take up most, maybe all of the 40s in this case.

It's difficult to pour much faster than 3g/s and maintain this straight down drop.

Anyhow, give it a go & see what happens, bearing in mind, the more aggressively you pour, the siltier the cup will be.
