Pro Tips

• Consistency is key: Use the same pouring pattern each time for reproducible results
• Water quality matters: Filtered water will significantly improve taste
• Grind fresh: Grind beans just before brewing for best flavor
• Practice your pour: Steady, controlled pours prevent over-extraction
• Track your variables: Like data analysis, note what works and adjust accordingly
