​
​Brew Notes: This coffee performed well. The optimal extraction time for achieving the right balance of sweetness, acidity, and aftertaste in this dial-in recipe is between 29 and 31 seconds. Keep in mind that contact time relates a lot to achieving a good result with this coffee. If the extraction time is too short, the flavour may be watery, while an over-extracted shot will taste earthy.

POUROVER RECIPE

Ratio: 1:16
​Roast Date: 3/9/2024
​Freeze Date: 9/9/2024
​Recipe Date: 13/9/24
​Water Dose: 240g
​Temperature: 100 degrees
​Grind Size EK43s: 8.2
​Clicks On Comandante Mk4: 21
​Psa: 641 µm
​Dose: 15g
​Yield: 206.6g
​Time: 2:38
​TDS: 1.38
​Ext: 19%
​Tasting Notes: Brown sugar, mandarin, caramel, apple, silky
​
​Brew Notes: This coffee needs careful adjustment for a balanced extraction. We experimented with grind size and found that increasing the bloom to 90g and going a hint coarser improved sweetness and acidity. This slight tweak, 10g more than our standard bloom, enhanced the coffee’s roundedness and TDS. The result is a clean, medium - bodied brew with notes of apple, stone fruit, and caramel.
