Why this recipe

Helm Ecuador Finca Soledad, Pepe Jijón · Helm
Extraction Strategy
Clarity first

A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a very dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.

The Decisions
Grind · 36
Medium-fine grind
Table salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set finer.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 96→94°C
A small step down
96° for the bloom, 94° after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 51s
Long bloom
45 ml of water, then a 51-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.
82 RPM · CIRCULAR · 3.1 ML/S
A faster spin stirs the bed harder, so the cup comes out full and even. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
