Adjustments

  • Grind Type: Slow Feed
  • Water to bean Ratio: 16.0:1 (256g)
  • Sweet to Acidity Ratio: 3:2

Comments:

  • So after the realisation that putting too much in the first pour is likely to lead to over-extraction, I’ve gone strong in the other direction now leaving everything to the last pour
  • Going to carry on with the excavation after the second pour because I think that helps maintain a Darkness-free body.
  • Going 3:2 on the first two pours to pull out the acid and hopefully get that strong booziness as well as some additional sweetness.

Tasting Notes:

Nose:​ Boozy nuts.

First Taste: C​hocolate orange with lingering whiskey finish. Nice!

Second Taste: DS​weetness really exploding up front now, pleasing. Finish has a touch of darkness in it that the whiskey is fighting with.

We’re back to a slight lack of body, though, perhaps because I pulled the pours too close together but overall this is an great cup of coffee and these beans continue to deliver.
