When you say “double run,” do you mean brew the coffee once, let it cool and pour it back into the coffee pot to brew again?? How much coffee do you use for the initial brew strength?
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.
Per a conversation I had with Mr. Jay Gibbs regarding white oak barrel staves: “…you gotta get it burning good.”

Might be easier to use a french press, then adjust the steep time to suit.

I’m still confused. Don’t understand what a double run means exactly. But I can see how the french press would work.

I read OP's instruction the same way, i.e. pour it back in the perk for a second pass. Don't think that would be so great for the perc, which is why I mentioned the press.

That said I'd probably use espresso. :)
