Why this recipe

CONGO BLUE MOUNTAIN SHASHA · CAFFÈ LAB
Extraction Strategy
Aroma first

Fruit and floral aromas fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.

The Decisions
Grind · 42
Medium grind
Coarse salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 96→93°C
A small step down
96° for the bloom, 93° after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 40s
Medium bloom
45 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 · 5 pours
Bloom and four pours
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
76 RPM · CIRCULAR · 3 ML/S
A middle spin speed stirs the bed without churning it. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
