01 / TWO-PHASE MOISTURE EXTRACTION
Built for the world stage. Made for every day.
The recipe I’m sharing first was actually the second one I designed.
I created it for the 2026 World Brewers Cup in Brussels because my original recipe required too many actions to manage across three brewers while presenting.
At the same time, I wanted a method our baristas could reproduce consistently across different coffees and processes. After a long period of testing, it became my go-to recipe.
It follows two phases.
Penetration for even saturation.
Development to build sweetness, clarity and balance.
14 g coffee · 200 ml water · 1:14 · 80 ppm
PHASE 1 — Penetration
0:00 — Close the valve and add 100 ml at 94°C.
1:00 — Open the valve and drain fully.
PHASE 2 — Development
1:20–1:25 — Close the valve and add the final 100 ml at 80°C.
2:20–2:25 — Open the valve and drain fully.
The most forgiving SOLO SPIN recipe, perfect for daily brewing.
Simple. Reliable. Repeatable.

Hi Jackie! Your recipes mention “medium coarse”. Could you tell us what that means on a Comandante C40 or in microns? It would really help reproduce the recipe. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the thinking behind the recipe. It’s always fascinating to see how competition ideas evolve into everyday brewing. 🙌☕
