That’s what they say in their guide, but I have two at home which are quite different!
Like this one.
That’s similar to my Maldon salt then (as opposed to Saxa). So that looks pretty coarse.
Yeah, coarser than I originally thought.

I just tried using their method, keeping my grind setting the same as for V60, which I think is roughly the right setting.
I didn’t get it exactly right this first time (takes a bit of getting used to, monitoring the number of circular pours vs quantity of water vs time) so I was off a bit at each pouring phase, but wow it really tastes very different. I’m not sure if it’s better, but it certainly is different.
I’ll see where I get to once I perfect the technique.

My grind setting is close to that for the 40/60 method in the V60.
What I think you’ll find is that the bluebottle dripper is a lot more consistent and forgiving. I love it.
Thanks. Looking forward to trying it some more.
One thing I liked about the 40/60 was the ability to change sweetness and strength. Can one do that at all with the Bluebottle? I guess pour a bit less in the first bloom pour for ‘sweeter’? I’ve looked but not seen anyone talk about it - seems like there’s only one ‘setting’.
Yes, works exactly to same.

So the first pour/bloom does the sweetness/brightness and then varying the number of subsequent pours (default is 3 like the 40/60) will adjust the strength?

Yes, I generally divide into five and make the first pour marginally bigger than the others.
Thanks, will give it a go tomorrow.
