Notes:

Interesting. I seem to be getting some initial change in the grind behaviour from the new 1Zpresso J-Ultra grinder. Today I went 1 click coarser (8 microns), but the shot took 8s longer. I saw similar behaviour yesterday. Is this teh burr bedding in or did something shift?

Anyway, this shot looked good and gave a really nice open fruity flavor in teh shot class. Unfortunately this didn't transalte to the milk where body and that bitter sweet flavor I like was gone. The flavor and the shot duration seem to give conflicting messages, so I may need to try going bothe coarser and finer to see what happens. Also, is there some initial change in the burr as the supper sharp factory edges get blunted. Who knows.

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
