| Brew: Note | Daily Shot Log: Doma Carmela’s blend | Baratza 36 | Basket BEP [goal] Try a higher flow basket with the Slinky profile in search of better flavor. [prep] RDT, WDT, self leveling tamp. [pull] Very smooth with and even resistance throughout the shot even with the higher flow basket. Profile matched well and I sense it is quite forgiving of grind size. Nice slow pre infusion and good time at 30 - 33s. [milk] very nice this morning. Super controlled. [art] better than typical lately got some banding and a delicate small heart. [taste] hit by the brown sugar creaminess first, with a blooming more gritty but not unpleasant dark chocolate with a mid finish. Best for this bean so far. |
