Roasted on 06/08/20 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. 6.375. 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.

Stumptown Trapper Creek Espresso Roasted 06/04/20 18.4g in 20 seconds 30g out Delicious. Still graham and dried fruit.

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.
