Barista Bitch Dialing In

Roasted on 09/11/22 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. 40. Floral, cloves, pear & black cherry.  Cloves came on a little too strong for me and washed out everything else. I wish I had a bigger sample so I could have played around with it more.

This is the Koji "Supernatural" processed that Christopher FERAN used. 

Second person who was hired to replace me started yesterday, she has no experience. It's funny they hired two people to replace me, both making less than I asked for, but with considerably less experience and skill than me. The "experienced" one does not know how to dial in.  Moksha Ethiopian Guji Natural Espresso: Roasted on 09/19/22 18.9 in 27-28 seconds 24g out Strawberry, Milk Chocolate, vaguely nutty and sweet.  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 09/01/22 20.1g in 21 seconds 24g out Winelike complexity, orange, well balanced.

The person with "tons" of experience does not. This is funny.  Moksha Ethiopian Guji Natural Espresso: Roasted on 09/19/22 19.4g in 27-28 seconds 24g out Strawberry, Milk Chocolate, vaguely nutty and sweet.  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 09/01/22 19.1g in 17 seconds 24g out Winelike complexity, orange, well balanced. Some chocolate.

Friday they told me they were not willing to offer a counter, then asked for me to give all my recipes for six hundred dollars which is well below the market rate. They also asked me to train the two new individuals, both of whom were not first tier picks.  Moksha Ethiopian Guji Natural Espresso: Roasted on 09/19/22 19.4g in 23 seconds 24g out Strawberry, Milk Chocolate, vaguely nutty and sweet.  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 09/01/22 20.4g in 22 seconds 24g out Winelike complexity, orange, well balanced.

Regardless of trying not to be biased against nonpremier coffee regions, I always have. A little apprehension about trying them, thinking that I am going to be trying an earthy or tobacco heavy coffee, but I am glad that this is nothing like that. It is a very silky body and quite easy to enjoy, I doubt I'd be willing to pay what this costs, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. 

Today is the day they might offer me a counter, but at the same time I am getting more interest from other companies.  Moksha Ethiopian Guji Natural Espresso: Roasted on 09/19/22 18.8g in 27 seconds 24g out Strawberry, Milk Chocolate, vaguely nutty and sweet.  Moksha Decaf  Mexico Esmeralda Espresso: Roasted on 09/01/22 18.8g in 28seconds 24g out Winelike complexity, orange, well balanced.
