Barista Bitch Dialing In

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 21, 18.4g in, 25 seconds and 24g out. I am not happy with how this turned out, as an espresso there was lots of sweet strawberry notes and chocolate, but as a gibraltar it was unbalanced and tart.

Roasted on 03/25/2021 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. 13. Predominantly baking chocolate that lingers to the end, a hint of pineapple with some plum. It feels a little orthodox and will probably make a good espresso or a daily drinker.

It was a very sweet coffee, however I think the toffee notes were a little to overpowering, I wish I got more pomegranate and cherry.
