Roasted on 06/05/20 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. Last time I had this at 6.675 and that was the high range of good this time. Still very syrupy with some graham notes and I prefer this as an espresso.
