Brew Science

Why this recipe

Alba · SOIL ROASTERS
Extraction Strategy
Aroma first

Fruit and floral aromas fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.

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 · 53
Medium-coarse grind
Coarse sea salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 89→88°C
A small step down
89° for the bloom, 88° after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 41s
Medium bloom
40 ml of water, then a 41-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 · CIRCULAR · 3.1 ML/S
A slower spin lands the water softly, keeping harsh notes out of the cup. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
