Barista Bitch Dialing In

2 second preinfusion. Linea El Injerto Espresso : Roasted on 06/23/20 18.3g in 25 seconds 26-27g out It feels like a very old school espresso, lighter perhaps. Chocolate and orange blossom. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 06/25/20 18.3g in 27 seconds 24g out Very sweet cherry and chocolate notes. Counter Culture Slow Motion Espresso: Roasted on 6/25/20 18.6g in 23 seconds 30g out Pomegranate Molasses notes are more developed than last time with a cocoa finish.

2 second preinfusion. Linea El Injerto Espresso : Roasted on 06/23/20 18.2g in 20 seconds 24g out Better than yesterday. Nutty and chocolate for the most part, a little orange blossom water. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 06/25/20 18.3g in 25 seconds 24-28g out Cherry and chocolate. Counter Culture Slow Motion Espresso: Roasted on 6/25/20 18.6g in 21 seconds 30g out Pomegranate molasses and cocoa still. Less tart than yesterday, but I am still struggling to slow this one down.

2 second preinfusion. I think from now in I am going to be ommiting days that I don't work since I feel my coworkers actually do not dial in. Linea El Injerto Espresso : Roasted on 06/23/20 18.9g in 23 seconds 24g out Pretty mediocre, some raw sugar notes and a bit nutty. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 06/25/20 18.4g in 27 seconds 24g out Generic fruit at the front followed by chocolate. Counter Culture Slow Motion Espresso: Roasted on 6/25/20 18.8g in 18 seconds 30g out Pomegranate molasses and cocoa. It might be too young, but I cannot for the life of me get this to pull a consistent shot for longer than 20 seconds.

Roasted on 06/23/20 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Ditting KR1203 grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 6.125. Lots of brown sugar, some orange blossom and a bit of lime tartness. Not that big of a fan, Linea is roasting too dark a lot recently.

2.5 second preinfusion. Moksha GSM Espresso : Roasted on 06/18/20 18.3g in 27 seconds 24g out Some sweetness, chocolate and berry notes. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 06/21/20 18.31g in 26 seconds 26g out Lots of cherry today and chocolate. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 6/19/20 17.9g in 30 seconds 24g out Nothing new.

Roasted on 06/21 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Ditting KR1203 grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 6.125. I forgot to put my grind setting last time. It taste better than last time, but not by much. Lots of nectarine notes, some astringent overburdened black tea and a little honey sweetness throughout. Not a fan of this still.

2 second preinfusion. Moksha GSM Espresso : Roasted on 06/18/20 18.0g in 25 seconds 30g out Better than last time, mostly bittersweet chocolate. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 06/21/20 18.3g in 23 seconds 30g out Bit of cherry at the front than mostly chocolate. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 6/19/20 19.1g in 28 seconds 30g out

Once again she didn't dial in or record her numbers. I am leaning more towards the former than the later because of the number of complaints I've heard about her recently.

2 second preinfusion. Moksha GSM Espresso : Roasted on 06/18/20 18.1g in 21 seconds 30g out There is something wrong with this. It is absolutely vile and I cannot get anything out of it. Equator Eye of the Tiger Espresso: Roasted on 06/19/20 18.3g in 21 seconds 30g out Fleeting grapefruit tartness than amor of date and some chocolate. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 6/19/20 19g in 29 seconds 24-26g out

She probably didn't dial in.

2 second preinfusion. Both espressos from equator are too young and temperamental. Chromatic Gamut Espresso: Roasted on 06/10/20 18.1g in 26 seconds 30g out Dark chocolate and thick. Equator Eye of the Tiger Espresso: Roasted on 06/19/20 19.0g in 23 seconds 30g out Very tart, mostly grapefruit and cocoa at the end. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 6/19/20 18.4g in 30 seconds 20g out Dark as sin. I could not get this one to speed up.

Most likely she didn't dial in. Proyecto Diaz Essencia Espresso: Roasted on 06/08/20 Chromatic Gamut Espresso:  Roasted on 06/10/20 Stumptown Trapper Creek Espresso Roasted 06/04/20

No preinfusion today. Chromatic Gamut Espresso:  Roasted on 06/10/20 18.4g in 26 seconds 30g out Stumptown Trapper Creek Espresso Roasted 06/04/20 I don't have enough to even purge.

2 second preinfusion for all three.

Chromatic Gamut Espresso:  Roasted on 06/10/20 18.1g in 26 seconds 30g out Getting slightly fudgey with some bright red berry notes.

My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 6.375. Lots of rasins notes, some hazelnut and a caramel sweetness. 6.375 was almost my least favorite, but it was the cleaning tasting even if it was like a flash and gone. Might be good as an espresso, but kind of boring as a pour over.

2.5 second preinfusion for all three. Proyecto Diaz Essencia Espresso: Roasted on 06/08/20 18.3g in 26 seconds 30g out Lots of chocolate and hazelnut. I had a shot pull around 20 seconds that was amazing, but I could not replicate it. Chromatic Gamut Espresso:  Roasted on 06/10/20 18.2g in 22 seconds 30g out Mostly chocolate. I am sad that I could not get this to taste as decadent and fudge-like as I normally can. Stumptown Trapper Creek Espresso Roasted 06/04/20 18.8g in 28 seconds 30g out Best of the three still.

Counter Culture Big Trouble Espresso: Roasted on 06/09/20 19.2g in 29 seconds 27g out Stumptown Holler Mountain Espresso:  Roasted on 06/04/20 18.8g in 27 seconds 30g in Stumptown Trapper Creek Espresso Roasted 06/04/20 18.9g in 26 seconds 30g out

My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 6.0. Potentially the best natural coffee I tried this year, however I do not really pay attention to naturals so much as region. Everything from 6.0-7.0 were good. 6.675-7 were less clean with some chocolate notes that were not as prominent in the rest. Primarily there were nectarine, strawberry and vanilla notes throughout; it was very juicy, crisp and clean.

2.5 second preinfusion for all three. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 05/31/20 18.5g in 26 seconds 30g out Temple Three Pillars Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 20.5g in 25 seconds 28g out Equator Decaf Blend Espresso Roasted 05/27/20 18.8g in 26 seconds 27g out

2.5 second preinfusion for all three. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 05/31/20 18.3g in 29 seconds 30g out Nothing really noteworthy to say. Temple Three Pillars Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 18.4g in 25 seconds 30g out It's better than Dharma, but mild without much distinguishing characteristics.

2.5 second preinfusion for all three. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 05/31/20 18.3g in 25 seconds 30g out I don't like how this was roasted this time, last time I had Tectonic Blend it was amazing now there is always something off. Temple Dharma Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 19.4g in 25 seconds 24g out Smaller shot seems to be beat right now when Temple, it still has a weird cooling aftertaste/finish. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso Roasted 05/27/20 18.8g in 28 seconds 30g out Decaf taste still isn't there which is practically the only thing I am happy about this with.

2 second preinfusion for all three. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 05/31/20 18.3g in 29 seconds 30g out. More chocolate than anything else. Temple Dharma Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 19.0g in 29 seconds 25g out Dark Chocolate with a weird cooling finish. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso Roasted 05/21/20 18.2g in 24 seconds 30g out Decaf taste is gone.

She didn't record her numbers or dial in. Either is just as likely.

3 second preinfusion for all three. Tectonic Tectonic Blend Espresso: Roasted on 05/31/20 18.0g in 28 seconds 30g out. Sweeter than yesterday, slightly dark chocolate finish. Still plenty of tart cherry notes. Temple Dharma Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 18.8g in 28 seconds 24g out Dark Chocolate spice finish. Too dark still. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso Roasted 05/21/20 19g in 30 seconds 30g out Noticeable decaf taste. Strange normally it is too heavy on the wood notes for me to notice.

Equator Eye of the Tiger Espresso: Roasted on 05/27/20  18.9g in 23-24 seconds 28-31 out Temple Dharma Espresso:  Roasted on 05/21/20 I guess we didn't dial this one in. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso Roasted 05/21/20 I guess we didn't dial this one in.

Roasted on 05/29/20 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Ditting KR1203 grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 6.125. 6.0-6.25 were all good, interestingly 6.75 was as well, but nothing in-between was drinkable. Juicy, well balanced a bit of milk chocolate and nutty throughout. Ok for a daily drinker.
