Why this recipe
Kihuyo AA · Base Coat Coffee Drops
Grind 42 · 96 °C · 31 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.
A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →96 °C for the bloom, 93 °C after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
45 ml of water, then a 31-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
45 → 100 → 145 → 180 → 205 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
