Setting

Early Sunday and a calm start, settled into a small routine while a Nix tutorial played in the background.

Brew Notes

The Switch stayed closed for the full steep, with a centered pour and a deliberately quiet bed.

I filled the gooseneck in two stages to reach the full target, then poured straight down the middle and avoided agitation. The bed finished even and unblemished. I think this rather new detail in the recipe is worth updating.

Observations

• Aroma felt clean and open rather than wet.
• First sip brought a bright spark that read as small, quick bursts of acidity.
• Mid-sips turned layered and oily, with a cinnamon-like edge.
• Acidity stayed lively but composed, and the sweetness tucked in underneath.
• Bitterness was earthy and steady, not drying.
• Body was full and balanced, with a lingering earthy finish.

Reflection

This cup felt like a quiet confirmation. The restrained, centered immersion technique is starting to feel reliable even when my attention is split, and this coffee rewards that composure with clarity and depth.
