​Brew Notes: his coffee is a solid staple for your home, delivering a clean, bright, and well balanced flavour. It’s easy to brew using standard espresso parameters, especially with careful tamping and distribution to prevent channelling or inconsistencies. The espresso began dripping around the 10-second mark, with a faster flow rate towards the end. Be mindful that a yield that’s too short or a prolonged contact time can lead to woody flavours and a short, astringent finish.

​Brew Notes: The coffee brewed consistently within our parameters using the Hario Dripper and a paddle for agitation during the bloom. We noted that gentle agitation is essential, as this coffee is prone to choking. We completed our second pour at around 1:05 and swirled the brew at 1:10. This technique helps minimise fines entering the brew bed and allows the water level to decrease slightly.
