Why this recipe

Takesi Yellow Catuai · Monogram
Extraction Strategy
Clarity first

A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a very dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.

The Decisions
Grind · 40
Medium-fine grind
Table salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set finer.
Dial in your grinder
Temp · 93°C
One steady heat
93° for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
Bloom · 39s
Medium bloom
45 ml of water, then a 39-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
Pour Structure · 5 pours
Bloom and four pours
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
82 RPM · CIRCULAR · 3.1 ML/S
A faster spin stirs the bed harder, so the cup comes out full and even. Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
