Live priorities
CoachChasing clarity and florals — we'll favour a finer grind and gentle agitation to keep it clean.
Your brew plan
One clear way forward
Built from your coffee, goal, and stated setup — then science-gated before it reaches you.
Bright & Layered
Aiming for: a clean, articulate cup where the fruit reads distinctly.
1
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.
4
Swirl & serve
A short rest lets volatile aromatics settle into the cup — the difference between smelling the fruit and tasting it.

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.
