Brew Science

Why this recipe

Alba · Home Roast
Extraction Strategy
Body first

This bean's sweetness lives in its texture, so weight and sweetness are chosen before clarity. It is a very soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.

The Decisions
Drip on Ice · 165ml + 60g ice
Poured over ice
165 ml of water drips onto 60 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 27% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Grind · 66
Coarse grind
Raw sugar. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser, and the soft bean takes it much coarser still.

Temp · 92→81°C
A clear step down
92° to start, then 85° and 81°. Hotter turns a natural's fruit harsh, so 92° is its limit.
Bloom · 40s
Medium bloom
40 ml of water, then a 40-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.
70 RPM · SPIRAL · 3.3 ML/S
A slower spin lands the water softly, keeping harsh notes out of the cup. Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
