Extraction Strategy

Body-focused extraction

Natural process and chocolate or nutty notes drive a body-first strategy. Higher agitation and spiral pours build texture and mouthfeel as the primary extraction target — clarity is secondary.

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

Body-forward extraction

Balanced density bean

Direct extraction

Active agitation

Grind · 57

Medium grind — balanced flow and contact

Looks like coarse sea salt. Derived from Stage 1 range 52–62.

Bloom · 40s

Short bloom — low CO₂, fast saturation

40s base — derived from bean density and process. Insufficient bloom causes channelling across all subsequent pours.

Temp · 92→88°C

Descending curve — 4°C drop across pours

Starts at 92°C — upper bound of Stage 1 range. Descends 1°C per pour as solubles concentration drops.

Pour Structure · 4 Pours

Four-pour structure — balanced precision

Medium roast targets F1 range 4. Bean density (medium) neutral. Flat filter geometry: +1 pour for even bed coverage.
