Dilute and cool

Dilute to 152 g and let it come down to about 54 C before serving.

Notes

Second place in 2025. Notable for controlling the press by flow rate rather than by clock, and for pressing to a weight, stopping at 66 g of concentrate rather than at the hiss. Served cool, around 54 C, which is well below where most people drink coffee and is the point.
