Also that is a much higher dose than I would use - the faster brew time may compensate for that giving a similar strength cup to my slower brew. I would try both - see which you like more. Certainly 60g/l is enough coffee to give a very bodied, quite heavy cup (in my opinion of course!)
syscrusher - I am using a Canon FS100, and my 350D DSLR too, editing in Premier and adding extras in After Effects. I am trying to do a Winter Espresso one at the moment so we shall see how that turns out...
From start of bloom till the end, yeah. Of course, 2:40 is only a reference. Personally I find little difference from 2:40 - 3:00.
About a slower brew, would that bring unpleasant flavours out of the coffee grounds, like the ones when you overextract? I find cloth filter is quite delicate. It can give a really nice cup but at the same time you can also mess up quite easily. Of course, you're the master
