💧 Rinse the paper filter first — seat it in the Omni dripper, pop the dripper off the machine, rinse under the tap in cold water, tip the water out, then re-attach and brew. Washes out any papery taste.

A light-roast Geisha — the medium-auto preset under-extracts it (sour + flat), so it needed a custom recipe: finer + hotter. Temp taper (added 2026-07-02, confirmed 2026-07-03): the original flat 95 °C was coming out "burned/scalding" straight off the machine — a heat problem, not a grind one. A first shallow taper (95→93→91, 4 °C) wasn't steep enough; steepened to 94→92→88→85 °C (9 °C) — hot enough on bloom + Pour 1 to protect the sourness fix, then dropping hard on Pours 2–3 to kill the scorched finish. Grind (confirmed 2026-07-05): on the taper, 58 started reading a bit bitter again — coarsened to 60, confirmed clean and less bitter. Grind 60 is the dial now.

Off? one change at a time: Sour/flat → grind finer (lower number). Bitter/astringent → grind coarser. Drink it hot — light roasts turn bitter as they cool.

How it was dialed in:

• grind 70 → sour — under-extracted
• grind 55 → slightly bitter — a touch too far
• grind 58 → clean & sweet ✅ (later, on the temp taper, read a bit bitter again)
• grind 60 → coarsened to fix the bitterness — confirmed less bitter, the right dial ✅

Japanese flash brew: put ~105 g ice in the carafe and brew the concentrated hot pour (160 ml = 1:10) straight onto it — the flash-chill locks in this Geisha's strawberry, lychee and peach blossom. Grind a touch finer than the hot recipe (58 → 55) and keep RPM high. Draft recipe — dial after the first pour (flat/sour → grind finer; thin → a little less ice).

Roasted by BeMyBean¶

A small Kraków specialty roastery built on the idea that good coffee brings good people together — small-batch roasts dialed in to each origin, split into espresso and filter lines.

Using these recipes with the xBloom CLI¶

Each recipe above downloads in the format used by the open-source xbloom-ble CLI (pip install xbloom-ble) — unofficial Bluetooth control for the xBloom Studio, with a terminal UI and a live brew graph. By default xbloom brew loads a recipe onto the machine and you approve it on the device; pass --start to brew remotely instead.

xbloom brew bemybean-kostaryka-geisha.yaml           # load onto the machine (approve on-device)
