High Extraction

by CAFEC

Bigger ratio (1:17), finer grind, and active stirring during the brew. Built for dense washed light roasts that refuse to give up sugar at standard contact times. The two-hole 102 lets you push the grind finer without stalling.

Notes

This is an aggressive recipe — vigorous bloom stir, mid-brew stir, ending swirl. The extraction has nowhere to hide, so use only with beans you trust to handle it. Defective lots will go astringent fast. The mid-brew stir at 1:00 is the secret. Three slow stirs around the edge of the dripper lift fines off the wedges and remix the slurry — this is what separates "high extraction" from "long contact". Aim for 96°C. Drop below 94°C and the recipe stops doing what it's supposed to. If the brew finishes past 5:00, coarsen one notch — drawdown stalling means the recipe failed.
