Why this recipe

Africano · Barista Microtorréfacteur
Extraction Strategy
Nothing pushed

No single note leads this bean, so the cup is kept sweet and even. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.

The Decisions
Grind · 48
Medium grind
Coarse salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 90→88°C
A small step down
90° to start, then 89° and 88°. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 47s
Medium bloom
40 ml of water, then a 47-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
Pour Structure · 3 pours
Bloom and two pours
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
82 RPM · CIRCULAR · 3.1 ML/S
A faster spin stirs the bed harder, so the cup comes out full and even. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
