Why this recipe
EL CARMEN DECAF · ROASTINGPARTY.CO.UK
Grind 69 · 89 °C · 37 s · 2:30–3:30
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. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.
The decisions
Rock salt. Nothing about this bean calls for a change, so the grind follows the roast.
Dial in your grinder →89 °C to start, then 86 °C and 85 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 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. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
40 → 150 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
