This was close. Still a hint of a dry and bitter carboardy after taste, but it’s only a hint. Going slightly coarser may help, but it’s close, so only slightly. Try 1.3.5.

Still very little crema so I think this bag may not be fresh and may need dialling in again if I buy another bag.

Note that trhe pressurise time may have been affected by my switching to the 20g basket.

Slightly darker than the Brazil Toucan. Crushes easily under the thumb, but not too many fines produced. Slight hints of surface oil on a few beans.

After trying to brew this for 4-5 shots now I strongly suspect this coffee is not fresh and that tghe roast date is not honest. It gives a weak watery coffee with poor mouth feel. It also blonds very early.

I like CherryDog coffees, but they don’t put the roast dates on the bag and twice now I have bought 3 bags of coffee only to be told they were all roasted on the same day and exactly a week ago.
