Notes:

Better today. Waited for the correct temperature and the whole brew stayed very close. I ground a littl finer and it was nice, but slighyly more bitter than I like. Just obe shot left of this bean, so matybe grind 1/3/3. I thik a fresh bag would need to be coarser.

Coffee bag notes:

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.
