② For the second pour, use a thick broth.
Because the steeping time is longer, the coffee tends to have a richer flavor and a slightly heavier impression.
Therefore, by pouring with thick water, we speed up the extraction process, adjust the concentration, and aim for a well-balanced coffee.

What did you think?
The recipes I've shared here vary depending on the brand, but it would also be interesting to brew all three brands using the same method and compare the tastes. Alternatively, you could try brewing one brand using different methods to enjoy the differences in extraction.
