Why this recipe
Guji harsu · Sematjam
Grind 42 · 94 °C · 42 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.
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
Granulated sugar. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →94 °C for the bloom, 91 °C after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
45 ml of water, then a 42-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. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
45 → 125 → 180 → 225 ml
Circular pours keep the cone evenly wet.
