Not sayin' this is the technique, just what I've settled on;
Filter is rinsed w/ hot water, heating the CCD.
Add coffee, 22g:14oz water. Add a third of the water, boiling but not rolling, cover. Start timer, set at 3min. At around 2:30, add the remaining water, reheated to boiling. Keep covered, even during the dripping.
Have noticed no bitterness, nothing but goodness. Not better than a Hario of course, unless the Hario is B|Java's, then it's waaaaay better.
This Friday, me and the better half of the Cabal, are doing a side-by-side comparo of the CCD and a press pot w/ my PNG, just for the fun of it. That would be Jeffo, don'tcha know.
