Extraction Strategy

Aromatic preservation

Fruity, floral, or tropical notes contain volatile aromatic compounds that evaporate under excess heat or agitation. Lower RPM, controlled temperature descent, and circular pours were chosen specifically to protect these characteristics through the full extraction.

Bean Character

Dense bean — elevated growing altitude

High cell-wall resistance limits water penetration — grind -4 from roast baseline. Bloom and temperature offset upward to compensate. Reduces uneven saturation risk across the bed.

Engine Calibration

Brew Method · Drip on Ice

Concentrated brew — ice restores balance as it melts

Brewing 165ml of hot water directly onto 60g of ice. The pour targets 27% above equivalent hot-serve concentration — ice melts into the cup and dilutes the brew to its correct strength. Grind is tuned finer than a hot extraction at this ratio: ice melt reduces extraction efficiency, so the recipe pre-compensates with increased surface area.

Aromatic preservation

Dense high-altitude beans

Layered extraction

Even saturation

Grind · 36

Fine grind — high extraction contact

Looks like standard table salt or fine sea salt. Derived from Stage 1 range 36–44. Honey offset: +3 (coarser), density -4. Limits over-extraction of process compounds.

Bloom · 48s

Standard bloom — moderate CO₂ degassing

48s base — derived from bean density and process. Insufficient bloom causes channelling across all subsequent pours.

Temp · 93→91°C

Gentle temperature descent — 2°C

Starts at 93°C — upper bound of Stage 1 range. Descends 1°C per pour as solubles concentration drops. Honey ceiling: 93°C. Hard constraint — range clipped at upper bound.

Pour Structure · 5 Pours

Five-pour structure — maximum extraction control

Light roast targets F1 range 4–5. Bean density (dense) favours more pours. Honey process: mild constraint, 4-pour preference.
