Mocha Java, short ratio immersion

Settings

Listening

Jorge Bolet, Jorge Bolet at Carnegie Hall, New York City, February 25, 1947 (Remastered)

Brew Notes

Beans came out of the freezer.

Standard Easy immersion recipe on the Hario Switch. No multitasking.

Observation

Sniffed the grounds with my pet 🦄. It’s like a pipeline smell.

First sip reminded me of burnt coffee, but this coffee wasn’t burnt. Even so, should I be backing off the temperature of the water? It’s not a rolling boil, it’s not even steaming. I bring it up until it steams, preheat, put water back in, bring back up for a few seconds, then brew.

Wonder what others do for measuring water temp.

Almost didn’t write this morning; sometimes consistency is friction.

It’s a delicious juicyness. I love this bag of coffee. Need to order more soon.
