Because I feel like a small fish in a big pond, I've been competing in coffee for 10 years.

As a small fish, I've learned it's important to just keep swimming.

The world of coffee is large, like the ocean.

So I just keep learning and exploring everything coffee can offer.

On my journey, I've discovered innovative tools and techniques.

Now, my friends, I love to connect with people who love coffee.

By interacting with coffee lovers, by interacting with another, people design tools, make new varieties, and processes.

Now, let's go have a coffee adventure with me.

So today, I'm going to use three kinds of Panama Geisha coffee because I understand the individuality of each farm.

And by combining farm characteristics, and I can bring about new interaction.

Bottom of the dripper, I put six grams of natural process coffee to focus on beautiful, colorful acidity made by my friend Pocho from Finca Nuguo in Renascimente.

In the middle, five grams of natural process coffee to focus on huge sweetness, like lovely candies made by my friend Kai from Johnson Estate in Volcan.

On the top, four grams of honey process coffee to focus on elegant floral aroma made by my friend Rachel and Daniel from Hacienda La Esmeralda in Boquete.

These three layers interact each other that emerge main flavors such as orange and strawberry and smooth mouthfeel.

To achieve this target, four tools are needed.

Because the temperature in the thin coffee bed can be maintained at high temperature, thin coffee bed and this using Tritan material and this unique 80 degrees wall dripper can sustain the high temperature.

Also, high temperature water can directly extract positive elements and much more acidity and sweetness can be extracted by pouring at high temperature at first and second pour.

Because it's fast flowing, the material results in the ability for oils to pass through the filter, resulting in elevated mouthfeel and flavor.

Third, I'll do extract chilling at minus 79 degrees Celsius at first pour.

Because ice lock is helping trap the aroma components that the Sybaris filter allows to pass through, further enhance mouthfeel and pushing sweetness.

Fourth, I choose the Mellow Drip in two ways.

Because it helps me lower agitation on my third pour, resulting in improved aftertaste.

Additionally, I designed these lids on my server with Mellow Drip, aerating my coffee, which will enhance mouthfeel and to highlight amazing aroma for you today.

These are tools I've discovered on my journey.

So let me explain today's recipe during my brew.

So I use 15 grams of coffee roasted seven days ago in Chicago.

I ground one hour ago with 600 micron for all coffees.

Total water, 240 grams, which is total hardness, 0.3 ppm. pH, 6.6.

I'll pour three times at one minute intervals.

Second, I'll pour 80 grams at 92 degrees Celsius, at same temperature as first pour.

Third, I'll pour 100 grams at 82 degrees Celsius.

This combination, and pouring my target TDS, 1.4.

Okay, judges, the first impression with this coffee is going to be aroma.
