Why this recipe

Big City French Roast · Joe Coffee Company
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
Grind · 66
Coarse grind
Raw sugar. Soft beans give up flavour fast, so it's set much coarser.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 89→85°C
A clear step down
89° to start, then 86° and 85°. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 37s
Short bloom
40 ml of water, then a 37-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
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.
74 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.
