My Coffee Sweet Spot
26th Oct, 2025
Cup #6 was a winner! It had that same magic as cup #3—perfectly balanced, not too sour or bitter. Just right.
Turns out they share almost the same recipe, and this combo really hits the spot for me:
- Coffee : water - 18 g to 286 ml
- Grind size - 4
- Water temp - 80 °C
- Agitation - 20 sec
- Brew time - 60 sec
So yeah, I think I've found my sweet spot—at least for these beans. It'll probably shift when I switch to a different roast, but this is working great right now.
Btw, I'm tracking everything for each cup—all the variables, measurements, and how it tastes.
And once I hit 25 cups, I'm planning to throw all that data at an AI and see what it comes up with.
Maybe it'll find patterns I'm missing and suggest an even better recipe tailored to what I like.
Let's see...
But for now? Just collecting data, one cup at a time.
