Extraction Strategy

Body-focused extraction

Natural process and chocolate or nutty notes drive a body-first strategy. Higher agitation and spiral pours build texture and mouthfeel as the primary extraction target — clarity is secondary.

Bean Character

Medium density — balanced extraction profile

Cell structure within standard extraction range. No density correction applied. Parameters follow roast and process constraints.

Engine Calibration

Body-forward extraction

Balanced density bean

Direct extraction

Active agitation

Grind · 51

Medium grind — balanced flow and contact

Looks like coarse sea salt. Derived from Stage 1 range 47–56. Honey offset: +3 (coarser). Limits over-extraction of process compounds. History pattern: -1. Minor — does not override bean constraints.

Bloom · 40s

Short bloom — low CO₂, fast saturation

40s base — derived from bean density and process. Insufficient bloom causes channelling across all subsequent pours.

Temp · 93→91°C

Gentle temperature descent — 2°C

Starts at 93°C — upper bound of Stage 1 range. Descends 1°C per pour as solubles concentration drops. Honey ceiling: 93°C. Hard constraint — range clipped at upper bound.

Pour Structure · 3 Pours

Three-pour structure — direct extraction

Light roast targets F1 range 4–5. Bean density (medium) neutral. Honey process: mild constraint, 4-pour preference.

Learning · From Your History

Calibrated from your brewing history

Grind shifted finer by 1. Pattern was weak but consistent across recent brews. Minor adjustment applied. Effect is limited and does not override bean constraints.
