Grind 42 · 90 °C · 41 s · 2:30–3:30
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Nothing about this bean calls for a change, so the grind follows the roast.
Dial in your grinder →90 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 41-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. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
45 → 160 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
