Ground at 1.3.9, just one step finer. There was a slight hint of acidity coming through. I suspect the acidity in this bean may bring out flavours that I personally don’t favor which is why I’m tending to favour a more bitter version which isn’t actually too bad.
Anyway, this is the lasy shot in the bag. Would I buy this again? Probaby not as I prefer the Cherry Dog Brazil Fazenda (if the raost date is accurate).
The fazenda from CherryDog was really nice, so thought I would try Sarnies. This is Natural process and smelled a little yeasty when fresh.
It’s quite brittle and shatters into many pieces which suggests a coarser grind due to the fines. It might also need a profile that doesn’t run too fast and cause the fines to migrate. Lets see. I’ll run it in the MHW3-Bomber 18g 58mm basket with paper.
My prefered grind size was around 1.3.9 though this was definitely on the bitter side. Grinding finer bought out an acidity that I didn’t really afvor Maybe its the yeastiness.
