I do a 1:16.667 ratio of coffee to water. That would be 30g coffee in 500g water. Pre rinse the filter. Then I add enough boiling water to bloom the coffee. After about a minute I start adding more water. Just enough to keep the grounds below liquid level. I swirl clockwise and then counter clockwise after each pour.

That’s it. Keep pouring until target amount of water is reached.

Agree, OPs experience sucks and it’s good perspective but YSK should be focused on facts.

This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
