General Coffee Notes

General starting ratios:
- Infusion: 75g/L
- Percolation: 60g/L
Use a coarser grind for a Melitta than for a V60.
V60 plastic more worth it than ceramic because preheating it is annoying.
Experiment: V60 method with Melitta vs blooming and just pouring all the water all at once
- Results: V60 had a lot more body and flavor, worth the extra effort
- Very similar once cooled
V60 handles finer grinds MUCH better, way more body and flavor coming through
