Barista Bitch Dialing In

Roasted on 02/17/2021 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. 15. I forgot I tried this one before, but I feel pretty similar to beforehand that it has a lot of chocolate-nougat notes with a dry acidity throughout and the barest hint of smokey cardamom. I think I could have gone coarser around 17, but it looses some of its clarity. 

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 23, 18.3g in, 27 seconds and 50g out. I am not completely happy with how this turned out, it was a much bigger shot than I generally like and I feel that I had to keep going coarser. It was slightly muddy tasting, dark chocolate at the front and some plumot.

I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 13. Lots of dark chocolate with hints of guava. I was surprised at how dark this was roasted and I could still get fruit notes out of it. I have a feeling this will be better as an espresso. 

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 19, 17.8g in, 29 seconds and 35g out. Tangy plum with lots of chocolate and rose at the end. I rather enjoyed this is I generally don't care for coffees with chocolate in them, but the rose notes while brief and fleeting were incredibly novel.
