| Brew: Note | [goal] improve flavor by dialing in yield to 32 - 33g. [prep] trimmed to 18g in basket exactly. Good RDT and WDT. [pull] very tightly to spring 6 bar profile with just a slightly trimmed target. Good feel on the lever, not rushed. [milk] steam pressure was on the low end of the gauge. Other than taking a little longer than usual temp stopped at 60c and aeration was just about right. [art] ok. Still rushing my pours and leveling the cup too early. My daughter said it was as nice as the ones in the cafe of the business she works in though. [taste] hmmm. This one is a little tough because while it was even and strong and had the kick, crema, and texture I was looking for (all in all the best trad cap I can remember making in a long time) it was a little one note. Missing that delightful cream soda and outright fruit I noticed on less successful shots. |
