Notes:

That worked much better. There was still that slight cellulose bitterness and the flavour improved as it cooled, so thinking of sticking with this profile and grinding very slightly coarser at 1.3.8. Shot is still running quite long, so this will shorten it a bit, but I doubt it wll get to classic 25-30s territory.

Coffee bag notes:

The fazenda from CherryDog was really nice, so thought I would try Sarnies. This is Natural process and smelled a little yeasty when fresh.

It’s quite brittle and shatters into many pieces which suggests a coarser grind due to the fines. It might also need a profile that doesn’t run too fast and cause the fines to migrate. Lets see. I’ll run it in the MHW3-Bomber 18g 58mm basket with paper.

My prefered grind size was around 1.3.9 though this was definitely on the bitter side. Grinding finer bought out an acidity that I didn’t really afvor Maybe its the yeastiness.
