Why this recipe
AUTUMN WONDERLAND · DAK COFFEE ROASTERS
Grind 40 · 93 °C · 41 s · 3:00–4:00
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Fine table salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →93 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 41-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
45 → 135 → 185 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
