Why this recipe
Cafe Bustelo · Home Roast
Grind 68 · 89 °C · 32 s · 1:30–2:30
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. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.
The decisions
Rock salt. Nothing about this bean calls for a change, so the grind follows the roast.
Dial in your grinder →89 °C to start, then 88 °C, 86 °C and 85 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 32-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
40 → 100 → 165 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
