Extraction Strategy

Body-focused extraction

Natural process and chocolate or nutty notes drive a body-first strategy. Higher agitation and spiral pours build texture and mouthfeel as the primary extraction target — clarity is secondary.

Bean Character

Medium density — balanced extraction profile

Cell structure within standard extraction range. No density correction applied. Parameters follow roast and process constraints.

Engine Calibration

Body-forward extraction

Balanced density bean

Direct extraction

Active agitation

Grind · 63

Coarse grind — fast flow, controlled extraction

Looks like raw cane sugar crystals or cracked pepper. Derived from Stage 1 range 58–68. Natural offset: +6 (coarser). Limits over-extraction of process compounds.

Bloom · 45s

Standard bloom — moderate CO₂ degassing

45s base — derived from bean density and process. Insufficient bloom causes channelling across all subsequent pours.

Temp · 92→88°C

Descending curve — 4°C drop across pours

Starts at 92°C — upper bound of Stage 1 range. Descends 1°C per pour as solubles concentration drops. Natural ceiling: 92°C. Hard constraint — range clipped at upper bound.

Pour Structure · 4 Pours

Four-pour structure — balanced precision

Medium roast targets F1 range 4. Bean density (medium) neutral. Natural process: anchors structure at 4 pours.

Learning · From Your History

Calibrated from your brewing history

No directional pattern detected. Parameters held at range midpoint. Minor adjustment applied. Effect is limited and does not override bean constraints.
