Notes:

Thagt was slighlty better again and any hint of cellulose has almost gone. Might be worth trying 1.3.9 tommorrow. This still had a pleasant bitter edge, but I like that in the milk. I did notice that it had a little less body and mouth feel, but I gess thats the consequence of getting it more balanced.

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.
