Why this recipe

Identity Crisis · BROKEN COMPASS coffee roasters
Extraction Strategy
Barrel aroma first

Barrel and spirit aromas are delicate and fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. It is a very soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.

The Decisions
Grind · 68
Coarse grind
Raw sugar. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser, and the soft bean takes it much coarser still.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 89→85°C
A clear step down
89° to start, then 86° and 85°. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 30s
Short bloom
40 ml of water, then a 30-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
Pour Structure · 3 pours
Bloom and two pours
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
70 RPM · SPIRAL · 3.3 ML/S
A slower spin lands the water softly, keeping harsh notes out of the cup. Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
