Why this recipe
tropical weather · Tropical Weather Onyx
Grind 50 · 88 °C · 44 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. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
170 ml of water drips onto 55 g of ice. It starts strong on purpose; the melting ice, 24% of the cup, brings it to drinking strength.
Granulated sugar. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser; the dense bean pulls it back a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 44-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
45 → 91 → 130 → 170 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
