Notes:

At 40s this was still slow! It had a sharp drying bitterness and was lacking body for the milk. Also accidentally stopped the shot at 40g which didn't help.

30g output would have taken 34s according to the graphs so I think the next shot will be one click coarser (1.3.6) and 30g output.

Lets see - however, I suspect the slightly more acidic Laos Bolaven replacement for the original MoR Official, in this C25 version, may nevwe yield the same chocolatey flavours of the original and will always have that slight "brightness". Maybe time to go back to Cherry Dog for the PNG Goroka if I can get it. If not a Guatamala Hueheu tanango or Antigua.

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
