Bloom — 45g, 40s
A generous, even bloom degasses this young coffee so extraction stays even and sweet — uneven blooms are where clarity is lost.
2
First pour — to 150g
Gentle, shallow pours limit agitation — the enemy of a delicate washed coffee — protecting against astringency.
3
Second pour — to 248g
A brisk total time keeps the cup bright and prevents the tail-end bitterness that would bury the florals.

Swirl & serve
A short rest lets volatile aromatics settle into the cup — the difference between smelling the fruit and tasting it.

After the brew
How did it taste?
Describe the cup — no stars. The coach reads your notes and adjusts.
Tasting notes
Bright and clean, but a little hollow in the middle — the sweetness drops off before the finish. Fruit is there but faint.

The diagnosis
loops back to radar ↑"That hollow middle is under-extraction — you're getting the bright top notes but not the sweetness underneath. Two small moves fix it."
✓
Grind two clicks finer
Slows the flow and pulls more sweetness through the middle.
✓
Lower your agitation
Gentler pours stop the astringency that's thinning the body.
✓
Nudge water to 94°C
A touch hotter helps sweetness develop without adding harshness.
