Why this recipe
KOTMALE VALLEY NANO-LOT · Soul Coffee Roaster
Grind 68 · 88 °C · 37 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.
This bean's sweetness lives in its texture, so weight and sweetness are chosen before clarity. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Rock salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C to start, then 86 °C and 85 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 37-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
40 → 135 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
