Comments:

  • Major clogging incident in my filter. Please be advised.
  • I suspect my ratio was a little too heavily weighted
  • Which meant water drained out too quickly
  • And I left it too long before the next pour

Tasting Notes:

Nose:​ Warm buttered fruit scones today

First Taste:​ Grapefruit vibes again, but not as strong. Everything’s a bit more muddled today.

Second Taste:​ Grapefruit gets stronger as it cools, and there’s some savoury vibes in there I can’t place.

Rating:

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

A bit all over the place today, probably because I was too busy fiddling with my spreadsheet (NOT a euphamism, good grief) rather than focusing on the coffee production. I take full responsibility.
