Notes:

Well this was definitely worse than yesterday. I video’d the shot and it really looked like it turned watery at about 20-25 seconds. Considering the 90s pre-infusion time this seems super early.

Coffee bag notes:

This is bean that I have had before with a pleasant and nuanced bitterness brewed with a flat 9 bar profile before I had the Gaggimate upgrade.

The bean can be broken under the thumb, but not as easily in many. Just 3 main chunks plus smaller pieces from the skin.

Appearance is medium-dark with some light oild.

This bag was frozend for 6 weeks, although the first shot did have significant CO2. I did refreeze 100grams as I don’t think I would use it all without a break.
