Not every morning calls for a perfectly choreographed circular pour lasting three minutes. Sometimes you just want great coffee -- fast, simple, no performance required. The Fill-Up Method with the Stagg Dripper was made for those mornings.

Place the dripper on your cup. 20g of medium-ground coffee. Pour 93-degree water to the first line -- wait 30 seconds for bloom. Fill to the second line. Wait for drawdown. Done. Three and a half minutes, no counting circles, no digital scale required.

The secret is the Stagg Dripper's flat bottom: water distributes itself evenly through the coffee bed regardless of your pouring technique. This is pour-over for people who love coffee but not fussiness.
