Why this recipe
Rwandan Retreat · Savorista
Grind 50 · 87 °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.
Fruit and floral aromas fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. 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 →87 °C to start, then 84 °C and 82 °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.
