Why this recipe
Sidamo Natural Coffee · MR BEAN
Grind 53 · 88 °C · 44 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.
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
150 ml of water drips onto 75 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 33% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Coarse sea salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
40 ml of water, then a 44-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.
40 → 105 → 150 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
