Comments:

• Major clogging incident in my filter. Please be advised.
• I suspect my ratio was a little too heavily weighted
• Which meant water drained out too quickly
• And I left it too long before the next pour

Tasting Notes:

​Nose:​ Warm buttered fruit scones today

​First Taste:​ Grapefruit vibes again, but not as strong. Everything’s a bit more muddled today.

​Second Taste:​ Grapefruit gets stronger as it cools, and there’s some savoury vibes in there I can’t place.

A bit all over the place today, probably because I was too busy fiddling with my spreadsheet (NOT a euphamism, good grief) rather than focusing on the coffee production. I take full responsibility.
