Why this recipe
Las Cotorras · Ithaka
Grind 46 · 88 °C · 50 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. A medium roast gives up flavour readily, so it needs no help.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. With nothing to correct, the grind sits in the middle, for an even cup.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C to start, then 85 °C and 84 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 50-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
40 → 135 → 185 → 210 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
