| Brew: Note | Daily Shot Log: Doma Carmela’s blend | Baratza 36 | Basket BEP [goal] Attempt to further improve shot by lengthening ratio while also testing adaptiveness of Slinky profile by tweaking final weight and variable. [prep] RDT, WDT, self leveling tamp. [pull] Ran well even for higher ratio. Profile held good resistance and flow by triggering at ~80% final weight into ramp down. [milk] nicely integrated at good aeration and temp. [art] I hesitated as I briefly considered trying a tulip, but backed off to a heart. Left the bottom misshapen. [taste] interesting. So I can’t say it was better or worse because it was remarkably similar to yesterday as all the flavors presented themselves and there were no signs of over or under extraction. The higher ratio did bring out a transparency and definition though that wasn’t there yesterday. It was very good. |
