Brew Science

Why this recipe

Cocoa Drops · Torque Coffee
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
Drip on Ice · 140ml + 85g ice
Poured over ice
140 ml of water drips onto 85 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 38% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Grind · 61
Coarse grind
Raw sugar. Soft beans give up flavour fast, so it's set much coarser.

Temp · 89→85°C
A clear step down
89° to start, then 87°, 86° and 85°. 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 · 4 pours
Bloom and three pours
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Four pours keep body and clarity in step.
82 RPM · SPIRAL · 3.3 ML/S
A faster spin stirs the bed harder, so the cup comes out full and even. Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
