Same grind as the standard, bigger bed.

1:12.5, stronger than the house pour-over ratio. The XL brews at drinking strength directly, unlike the standard chamber, which makes a concentrate that needs cutting. Yields roughly 290g in the mug after bed retention -- about the size of a V60 single.

Toasty and roast forward, low acid. Rounded. Some chocolate. Sweeter but less distinct. More of a winter morning than a summer day.

Brew process

  1. 0:00

    Assemble inverted, plunger seated about a centimetre into the chamber. Add coffee.

  2. 0:00 · 350

    Pour all water in one go, wetting the whole bed.

  3. 0:10

    Stir 5 times, gently, then cap with a rinsed filter.

  4. 1:50

    Flip onto the mug. Commit it -- the XL is genuinely heavy at this volume.

  5. 1:50

    Press slow, about 50 seconds. The deeper bed pushes back harder than the standard chamber.

  6. 2:40

    Serve as it comes. No dilution.
