brew

smells

of beans in bag: dominated by bag smell.

of grounds:

smelled of amber: warm, glowing —🦄 nicorn

technique

slightly finer grind (1.8.4) to increase extraction in tandem with slightly higher water volume.

• yielded 15.9 g after grind
• two additional beans into the hopper and ground directly into the filter to compensate (first time doing this)

fremen technique: after heating ~313 g for the pre-heat, return post-brew excess water to the purified water jug for the love of circles

grinding two beans directly into the filter feels like baking. less batch-like, more custom.

soundscape

redux of state of the union on NPR.

listening

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5 played by Michelangeli (1982).

taste

slightly diluted, which does not surprise.
tempted to use words from a lexicon
i have not: “lighter body”
