Why this recipe
Levitate - El Salvador · Cypher Urban Roastery
Grind 67 · 89 °C · 50 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.
Fermented flavours turn boozy and sharp when pushed, so heat and stirring are held back to keep the fruit clean. It is a soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.
The decisions
Rock salt. Fermented beans give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser, and the soft bean takes it coarser still.
Dial in your grinder →89 °C to start, then 86 °C and 85 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
45 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 of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Fewer, larger pours stir the bed more, for a heavier cup.
45 → 140 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
