NotebookLM Source Bound Mind Map Orchestrator
Build a Mind Map about {topic} (home coffee brewing) using only the sources in this notebook. Keep it small and clear. Aim for {main_groups} main groups (five) and up to {per_group} subtopics in each group (three). Use short names under six words and add dates in names when a source shows them. Put a quick citation next to every node that points to the exact passage or timestamp in my source. When two nodes cover similar ideas, draw a connection and add a seven word note that explains the overlap. When sources disagree, mark that node as disagreement, cite both sides, and write one neutral sentence that describes the difference without adding outside info. After the map is done, write one short paragraph that explains each main group and mentions the strongest evidence for it with citations. Save the Mind Map to Studio, then return one simple line that lists the main group names separated by commas.
Here is a mind map about home coffee brewing, drawing on the provided sources: Home Coffee Brewing • Brewer Selection Factors ◦ Speed Consideration ◦ Cleanup Requirements ◦ Household Consumption • Coffee Flavor Basics ◦ Bean Terroir (where grown) ◦ Roast Level Personal ◦ Oil Absorption by Paper ▪ (Connects to Top Rated (Pour, AeroPress)): Paper filters' oil absorption contributes to top results. • Taste Test Methods (Sep 2022) ◦ Italian Taste Ideal ▪ (Connects to Italy Taste Inspiration): Author's Italian coffee experience shaped her ideal taste. ◦ Variables Controlled ▪ (Connects to Grinder & Filter Advice): Expert advice on grinder and filters became test variables. ◦ Starbucks Pike Beans • Home Brewing Methods ◦ Lower Rated (Drip, Press) ◦ Mid-Range (Moka Pot) ◦ Top Rated (Pour, AeroPress) • Key Learnings & Tips ◦ Italy Taste Inspiration ◦ Home Quality Achievable ◦ Grinder & Filter Advice -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation of Main Groups: Brewer Selection Factors highlights the practical considerations individuals weigh when choosing a coffee brewing method. These factors go beyond mere taste and include the speed of brewing, the amount of cleanup required, and the volume of coffee typically consumed in a household. For example, convenience was a priority for the author early on, leading her to use K-cups and vending machines. Coffee Flavor Basics explains the fundamental elements contributing to a coffee's flavor, according to experts Dan Pabst and Giorgio Milos. Key aspects include the terroir—where and how the beans are grown—and the roast level, which Milos notes is a matter of personal taste. Additionally, the use of paper filters impacts flavor by absorbing oils from the beans, which can otherwise interfere with the taste. Taste Test Methods (Sep 2022) outlines the rigorous methodology used in September 2022 for the author's "cage-match style cup-off" to identify the single best cup of coffee. The primary goal was to replicate the author's ideal of a rich, smooth, complex, and slightly bitter Italian-style brew. To ensure fairness, many variables were meticulously controlled, such as using Starbucks Pike Place medium roast beans, grinding each batch fresh with a burr grinder, and judging all brews black. Home Brewing Methods categorizes the five home brewing methods tested based on their flavor ratings. The lower-rated methods included the standard drip machine (5/10) and the French press (7/10), which resulted in thinner or less deep flavors. The Moka pot, a classic Italian method, offered a robust, slightly bitter flavor (8/10). The top-rated methods were the pourover (9/10), yielding a rich and robust taste, and the AeroPress (10/10), which produced a dark, smooth, and rich cup with minimal bitterness. Key Learnings & Tips encapsulates the significant insights and actionable advice gleaned from the author's coffee brewing journey and expert consultations. A pivotal realization was the profound impact of the author's trip to Italy, which redefined her understanding of great coffee. The overall experience demonstrated that achieving Italian café-level quality is within reach for home brewers. Key advice includes using a burr grinder for an even grind and preferring paper filters to absorb oils for a cleaner taste. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Mind Map saved to Studio.)
