The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

I've been really happy with the following lately:

16g:275ml coffee:water, coffee ground on the fine side of medium. Wet paper filter, 205 degrees Fahrenheit water, conventional brew, 10 minute extraction, swirl to settle grounds to bottom of the press, and a gentle plunge.

It's considerably more work than a prismo recipe, but I think its well worth it

10 minutes extraction seems a bit long, no?

I go for a light roast, 14g with 250ml water (boiling). 2 minutes extraction, swirl, 30 seconds for settling and then the plunger goes down over the course of another 30 seconds.
