Glossary2
- Pulse pours
- Pouring water in several short rounds instead of one continuous pour. Increases agitation and extraction; controls drawdown time.
- Drawdown
- The time between the final pour and the end of drainage. Too long suggests grind too fine or a clogged bed; too short, grind too coarse.
