Jibbi Little is a Sydney–based barista, coffee roaster, and latte art specialist. Her championship–winning recipe has you making a concentrate and then diluting to the desired strength (if you have a refractometer, aim for a TDS of 1.3 to 1.35).

While it may be tricky to accomplish at home, a faithful recreation has you grinding twice: first using a Timemore at a very coarse grind, followed by a Kinu grinder at setting 4. She also recommends using a sieve to sift out the 100–200 micron fines.
