1: good-

  • Tetsu Kasuya V60
  • 15g coffee : 255g water (1:17)
  • Grind 90 clicks K6
  • 205°F
  • 9 days after roasting
  • 1:00 bloom
  • TBT 3:00 with fast last 2 pours to slow it down

Nose: blackcurrant Taste: blackberry, dark chocolate, sweet. Lingering bittersweet finish.

Tad bitter, try a lower temp?

2: okay+

  • 200°F
  • 10 d.a.r.
  • TBT 2:50, didn’t speed up last pours

Similar, a little less body and flavour?

3: good

  • grind 90
  • 205°F
  • 15g
  • 45s bloom
  • 11 d.a.r.
  • TBT 2:50, slow pours

Good, removes the bitter notes. Good and syrupy.

4: bad

  • grind 70
  • Lance
  • 13 d.a.r.
  • 30-30 blooms
  • TBT barely 2m

Sour, bitter, no. Maybe swirl more, higher temp?

5: okay+

  • as 3 but grind 80 and 1:18 ratio
  • TBT same

Like a fruity dark roast. Quite comforting but a little bitter, like the sweeter brew better

6: good-

  • Aeropress Hoffman method
  • grind 40, 1:17 ratio
  • 208°F

Similar taste to 5

7: good-

  • as 6 but grind 50, 205°F

Fruit comes out better, not so burnt tasting. Quite drinkable.
