Why this recipe
CHELCHELE · Black Knight
Grind 57 · 88 °C · 40 s · 3:00–4:00
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 dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Coarse sea salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
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.
Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
40 → 100 → 160 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
