Why this recipe
Las Mercedes · Elixr Coffee
Grind 63 · 92 °C · 45 s · 2:00–3:00
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. Its density is typical, so nothing is corrected for it.
The decisions
Rock salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser.
Dial in your grinder →92 °C for the bloom, 88 °C after. Hotter turns a natural's fruit harsh, so 92 °C is its limit.
40 ml of water, then a 45-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
40 → 100 → 165 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
