Oh wow, I saw a recommendation of 6:1 water to bean. Followed by a 1:1 dilution.Your ratio is way less intense!

Do you water it down after, or drink it straight?

I'll have to try with mediums! Just did my first attempt with a very very dark roast, and the flavor is not quite right. I'm sure a medium will do nicely.

You might have already tried this, but prefer a regular sleep schedule if you can. Wake up at the same time every single morning if that's possible for you.
