Notes:

Bought the shot output down to 30g from 40g and ground at 1.3.4 instead of 1.3.6.

Interesting that the shot time was still 40s and I woild have expected it to be around 40. Maybe teh 2 clicks ,ade ,ore difference than I thought on this grinder or maybe it's just some other inconsistency

Anyway, this was thick, juicy and bittersweet though still a bit too bitter with soem astringency.

This means that the sharpness that came with the bitterness from before was a bitter sharpness, such as tannins, rather than sourness. A good lesson learned.

Lets keep the output and 30g and go back 1 click coarser tomorrow.

Coffee bag notes:

This is a version of the Official that is roast by MoR when the Brazilian beans are not available. They replace it with a Laos Bolaven, but somehow it doens't have the same bitter sweet chocolateyt flavor and doesn't work as well in milk. There's just a bit too mucvh acidity that can be hard to tame
