We had a most enjoyable conversation about Mr. Ichiro Sekiguchi, the founder of CAFÉ DE L’AMBRE. It was a truly delightful experience.
Now for the fun part! It's time to replace the flannel filter.
A stainless-steel pot from a local hardware store was also modified by narrowing the spout with a hammer so that a very thin stream of water drips. It weighs 480 grams (about 17 ounces).
A brand new filter is first boiled in hot water and mixed with some coffee to soak in before use.
Here are the essential tips for brewing a good cup of coffee, as shared by Mr. Ichiro Sekiguchi (the founder of CAFÉ DE L’AMBRE).
It was almost 43 or 44 years ago when I first visited a place called CAFÉ DE L’AMBRE. I will never forget what I saw that day. I was moved by how the hot water, like a piece of thread, fell shimmering down the narrow spout of an enamel pot. (Katsuji Daibo “A Daibo Coffee Manual,” p.9)
