| Brew: Note | Daily Shot Log: Doma Carmela’s blend | Baratza 40 | Basket Low Flow [goal] After removing low flow bridge and upping flow rate of main extraction. Test if time conforms to ~30 second window and rough edges and dryness as reduced. [prep] RDT, WDT, self level tamp. [pull] mechanically the profile and lever responded as one with all the stages pulling their weight. Good resistance and time. Some (probably good) tension between 2.2g/s flow and 6 bar limit. [milk] very consistent and silky without any separation. I think a tendency of more dry foam lately contributed to blobby art. [art] today’s was a nice cute little heart. Good incorporation and adequate pour. [taste] again more balanced the dark chocolate competes a little with the rich brown sugar. The finish didn’t have any of yesterday’s dryness and a slimly smother finish. May be close to ideal for this coffee with this style shot. |
