Why this recipe
COSTA RICA HERBAZU · Single Origin
Grind 48 · 91 °C · 37 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.
No single note leads this bean, so the cup is kept sweet and even. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. This process gives up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →91 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 37-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
45 → 140 → 190 → 225 ml
