Barista Bitch Dialing In

Due to issues outside of my control I have decided to reevaluate whether or not I want to work in my current place anymore everyday. I have reached my limit and have no desire to interact with the majority of my coworkers. If I was not afraid of using my entire savings I'd quit, however I would not be eligible to unemployment. Tectonic Drift  Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.0g in 20 seconds 30g out I have so little espresso in the hopper that I should honestly dial in a new one, but I just don't feel like doing so. Tectonic taste mediocre like it always does. Intelligentsia Honey Badger Espresso: Roasted on 03/20/20 18.7g in 23 seconds 24-28g out Just bright and tart. Plenty of citrus and plum notes, I have come to the conclusion that this espresso is just mediocre, it's neither complex and interesting or orthodox. Perhaps I can try more with it, but I am not sure. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20

I didn't actually work today as it is my day off, but it is obvious that nothing was done. Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 Intelligentsia Honey Badger Espresso: Roasted on 03/20/20 Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20

I didn't actually work today as it is my day off. Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.5g in 22 seconds 30g out Intelligentsia Honey Badger Espresso: Roasted on 03/20/20 18.6g in 24 seconds 30g out Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20 15g in 16 seconds 30g out

Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.5g in 26 seconds 28-30g out Mostly chocolate, but more stone fruit than before and a molasses like finish. I much prefer Shift blend to drift. While this isn't that dark, it is darker and less crisp. Intelligentsia Honey Badger Espresso: Roasted on 03/20/20 18.6g in 23 seconds 30g out According to my contact at Intelligentsia I should be pulling a much longer and slower shot, but I have only been able to get tart boring flavors when doing so. I'll think I'll try this as a ristretto next time I dial in.  Lots of plum notes, mostly tart, some sweetness and faint orange at the end. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20 15.1g in 15 seconds 30g out

Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.5g in 24 seconds 30g out Weird today. Just chocolate and no matter how much I try I can not get anything else regardless of how much I change the parameters. Intelligentsia Honey Badger Espresso: Roasted on 03/20/20 There is a God, I am finally done with Temple Dharma. This is my first time with Hobey Badger so I do not have that great of grasp of it and so far I am not impressed. Mostly bright and sweet in a boring way. Lots of plum notes, a little citrus acidity and an all encompassing sweetness. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20 15.1g in 15 seconds 30g out

Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.2g in 23 seconds 30g out Very syrupy, strong chocolate notes, some dark stone fruit notes and a hint of sweetness at the end. Temple Dharma Espresso: Roasted on 03/12/20 18.4g in 23 seconds 24-26g out Chocolate forward, still strong spice notes, crisper and cleaner than yesterday, not as much sweetness. A little berry as well. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20 15.1g in 15 seconds 30g out Going strong.

Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.2g in 23 seconds 30g out Not as balanced as yesterday, but not quite sharp. There is a bite to it, so some tart berry notes are coming through, but mostly chocolate. Temple Dharma Espresso: Roasted on 03/12/20 18.3g in 21 seconds 24-26g out Spice notes are coming through, but still a little murky. Lots of sweetness today and chocolate notes. Equator Decaf Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/05/20 15.2g in 15 seconds 30g out

Tectonic Drift Blend Espresso: Roasted on 03/15/20 18.3g 25 seconds 24-26g out I am not a big fan of Tectonic's espressos and I generally prefer the lighter Shift to drift, but this was pretty good today. Mostly Dark Chocolate notes, some caramel sweetness and very faint stonefruit taste. Temple Dharma Espresso: Roasted on 03/12/20 18.0g in 20 seconds 22-26g out Interesting, but stills mostly generic chocolate notes and an odd spice aftertaste that I am not sure what I think of it.
