Let’s make coffee.

  1. 01

    Prepare the Wave

    Rinse the filter, discard the water, and add the coarsely ground coffee.

  2. 02

    Bloom to 60 g

    Start your timer. Pour gently from the centre outwards until the scale reads 60 g. Wait until 0:40.

  3. 03

    Pour to 150 g

    At 0:40, slowly add another 90 g, bringing the total to 150 g.

  4. 04

    Finish at 250 g

    At 1:30, add the final 100 g. Give the brewer a small swirl and let it drain, aiming for about 2:45 overall.

Use the right filter size

This version is for the 155. If you move to a different brewer size, save that as a separate recipe so your timing comparisons remain useful.
