Brew Science

Why this recipe

BUKU ALAKA · Verve Coffee Roasters
Extraction Strategy
Body first

This bean's sweetness lives in its texture, so weight and sweetness are chosen before clarity. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.

The Decisions
Drip on Ice · 160ml + 65g ice
Poured over ice
160 ml of water drips onto 65 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 29% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Grind · 60
Medium-coarse grind
Coarse sea salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.

Temp · 90→87°C
A small step down
90° to start, then 88° and 87°. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
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.
