The method

0:00Add grounds. Pour enough water to wet everything, about 50 g→ 50g

3:00Wait for it to finish dripping. That is it.

BrewMark’s notes

Everything else on this site is optimisation. This is the floor, and the floor is already much better than a drip machine. Two variables matter more than any technique: grind fresh, and use twice as much coffee as feels reasonable. If it tastes weak, grind finer. If it tastes harsh, grind coarser.
