Grind 53 · 92 °C · 41 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.
A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Coarse sea salt. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set a little finer.
Dial in your grinder →92 °C to start, then 89 °C and 88 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
45 ml of water, then a 41-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. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
45 → 95 → 140 → 180 → 210 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
