Brew it with Guji
  1. 1

    Rinse the filter with hot water and pour that water away.

  2. 2

    Add the coffee and pour twice its weight of water just off the boil. Wait 30 seconds while it blooms.

  3. 3

    Pour the rest in slow circles, keeping the dripper about half full.

  4. 4

    Let it drain. If it runs much past the recipe's time, grind a little coarser next time.
