Why this recipe
BARE NATURAL · COLOR
Grind 68 · 92 °C · 40 s · 2:30–3:30
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
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
Rock salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser, and the soft bean takes it much coarser still.
Dial in your grinder →92 °C for the bloom, 88 °C after. Hotter turns a natural's fruit harsh, so 92 °C is its limit.
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.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
40 → 135 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
