Barista Bitch Dialing In

Roasted on 05/27/2021 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero 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. 43. Lots of dark chocolate notes throughout, some bright blueberry and a lot of butterscotch. It feels similar to a chocolate covered berry. 

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 22, 19.5g in, 15 seconds and 35g out. It is a lot thinner than the last time I had it, but more intense albeit briefly. Blackberry at the front, dark chocolate and sweetness throughout. I am not sure if I prefer it like this. Everything felt like it was there for a second and gone in another. 

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 18, 18.9g in, 14 seconds and 30g out. It still is a little young and has a slight grassy scent that I hope will go away as it rests, but it starts with a brief yet intense pop of blueberry notes and a lot of cereal. It tastes better as a straight espresso than anything with milk, even a gibraltar.
