Why this recipe
HYDRANGEA COFFEE ROASTERS Gesha Natural Hacienda La Esmeralda, Valle 3NC · Hydrangea Coffee Roasters
Grind 50 · 92 °C · 50 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. This process gives up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →92 °C to start, then 91 °C, 90 °C, 89 °C and 88 °C. Hotter turns this bean harsh, so 92 °C is its limit.
45 ml of water, then a 50-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. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
45 → 100 → 150 → 195 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
