0:30 → 0:40Step 3

0:40 → 1:40Step 4

Press slowly

Press very slowly, taking about seventy-five seconds, and stop while roughly 45 g of slurry is still in the chamber.

Notes

The 2014 world winner, and one of the last champions to brew upright and undiluted. The distinguishing move is a seventy-five second press, which is roughly three times slower than most people manage, and stopping with about 45 g of slurry still in the chamber rather than pushing to the hiss.
