1: good-

  • Tetsu Kasuya V60
  • 15g coffee : 255g water (1:17)
  • Grind 90 clicks K6
  • 205°F
  • 3 days after roasting
  • 1:00 bloom
  • TBT 3:05 (with some swirling and centre pours to try to slow it down)

Nose: marmalade? Hint of floral jasmine Taste: floral, apricot? Tea like delicacy but good body

2: okay+

  • 14g (1:18)
  • 4 d.a.r.
  • TBT 3:15

Pretty similar, maybe fruit acidity a bit more pronounced, florals a bit less?

3: okay+

  • 208°F
  • 6 d.a.r.
  • TBT 3:15

Nose: pronounced florals Taste: Jasmine, black tea bitterness, acid muted

4: okay

  • 205°F
  • 7 d.a.r.
  • grind 80
  • TBT 3:20

Nose muted, florals muted, a little bitter and astringent

Maybe quick brew is actually good? Try acid forward brew (it was okay but less floral)

6: good-

Trying a wild swing:

  • 190°F
  • grind 70
  • 9 d.a.r.
  • TBT 3:50

Nose: lemon curd? Taste: cacao nib, lime, apricot. Bare hint of florals

Very different from 1, still pretty good. Little bitter, probably grind coarser.

7: good-

  • 205°F
  • grind 80
  • 16 d.a.r.
  • lance 1 pour
  • TBT unknown, scale died

“Lemon curd”, Jasmine, clean
