Why this recipe
GAKENKE KAYANZA · Five Elephant
Grind 42 · 91 °C · 40 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. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set 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 40-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
45 → 150 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
