You will slip. That's fine. The key is to catch it quickly. For me, the tell is a brew time under 2 minutes. If I see that, I know I poured too fast.

When it happens, don't rage-quit and go back to instant. Just do the next brew slower. Pour one circle at a time, and reset your timer if you have to.

If you find yourself rushing every morning, go back to the basics: lower the spout, pour a thin stream, and keep the bed wet. You'll taste the difference within a cup or two.
