Brew: Note[goal] lock in 18g dose and 40g yield while testing grind setting of 30. [prep] clean with only a few strays on portafilter lip I brushed off. Still not sure if avoiding tap is worth it but am continuing the practice to see if keeps the puck more consistent. [pull] much more even and controllable. The weight, time and pressure curves were almost identical to the profile until I reached about the 30 second point. At that point the shot stalled at around 37g and I need to give it a slight push to reach 40g. [milk] good temp and aeration targets. Only slight lag at end because the knob stuck again. [art] not bad again. Slightly small heart and the canvas was a little beige but overall I have made so much progress. [taste] I am having a hard time remembering or articulating it. It was fine. Not great, not bad, though not particularly sweet. A very solid shot but not note worthy either.
