Brew Science

Why this recipe

KIAMBU AA · Home Roast
Extraction Strategy
Aroma first

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
Drip on Ice · 165ml + 60g ice
Poured over ice
165 ml of water drips onto 60 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 27% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Grind · 38
Medium-fine grind
Table salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.

Temp · 94→91°C
A small step down
94° for the bloom, 91° after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
Bloom · 44s
Medium bloom
45 ml of water, then a 44-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
Pour Structure · 5 pours
Bloom and four pours
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
76 RPM · CIRCULAR · 3 ML/S
A middle spin speed stirs the bed without churning it. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
