Why this recipe
Kenya Kiangoi AA · Sightglass
Grind 53 · 88 °C · 47 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.
No single note leads this bean, so the cup is kept sweet and even. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Coarse sea salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 47-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. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
45 → 110 → 170 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
