Extraction Strategy

Balanced extraction

Mixed signals from process and tasting notes call for equilibrium. No single parameter is pushed to its limit. The recipe finds the centre of each range and holds it steadily across all five pours.

Bean Character

Medium density — balanced extraction profile

Cell structure within standard extraction range. No density correction applied. Parameters follow roast and process constraints.

Engine Calibration

Brew Method · Drip on Ice

Concentrated brew — ice restores balance as it melts

Brewing 160ml of hot water directly onto 65g of ice. The pour targets 29% above equivalent hot-serve concentration — ice melts into the cup and dilutes the brew to its correct strength. Grind is tuned finer than a hot extraction at this ratio: ice melt reduces extraction efficiency, so the recipe pre-compensates with increased surface area.

Balanced extraction

Balanced density bean

Layered extraction

Even saturation

Grind · 50

Medium grind — balanced flow and contact

Looks like kosher salt or coarse table salt. Derived from Stage 1 range 50–62. Honey offset: +3 (coarser). Limits over-extraction of process compounds. History pattern: -2. Minor — does not override bean constraints.

Bloom · 44s

Short bloom — low CO₂, fast saturation

44s base — derived from bean density and process. Insufficient bloom causes channelling across all subsequent pours.

Temp · 91→88°C

Gentle temperature descent — 3°C

Starts at 91°C — upper bound of Stage 1 range. Descends 2°C per pour as solubles concentration drops. Honey ceiling: 93°C. Hard constraint — range clipped at upper bound.

Pour Structure · 3 Pours

Three-pour structure — direct extraction

Medium roast targets F1 range 4. Bean density (medium) neutral. Honey process: mild constraint, 4-pour preference.

Learning · From Your History

Calibrated from your brewing history

Grind shifted finer by 2. Pattern was weak but consistent across recent brews. Minor adjustment applied. Effect is limited and does not override bean constraints.
