Barista Bitch Dialing In

Roasted on 12/14/20 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Baratza Encore 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. 13. Very bright, some acidity, but mostly darkish pomegranate molasses, cranberry and sweetness in the front. I liked this, but think I would like it better as an espresso.

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 24, 18.5g in, 17 seconds and 30g out. Not bad, a tad too dark for me, but it had some dark chocolate notes, some sweetness, a bit of red berry and a lingering smoky taste.

I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 10-12. I couldn't quite decide between 10 & 12, 10 was not as clean tasting as 12, but 12 wasn't as developed. I had lots of plum notes, some fleeting tamarind tartness and some red grape-like sweetness. I enjoyed this coffee, but I think I need to adjust my recipe slightly to get a better cup.

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 22 on the niche with 17.8g in in 31 seconds 25g out.  It was delightfully sweet, mostly grapefruit notes throughout and a bit of cinnamon that made it a little murky tasting.
