Why this recipe
Zamzam Qahwa Estate Lot 47 washed · Home Roast
Grind 44 · 94 °C · 40 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.
A clean bean shows its origin best when nothing crowds it, so the settings lean towards a clear, bright cup. It is a soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Soft beans give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser.
Dial in your grinder →94 °C for the bloom, 91 °C after. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 40-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. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
40 → 115 → 170 → 205 → 225 ml
Circular pours keep the cone evenly wet.
