grind

16.1 g guatemala beans
4 spritzes rdt / 5s shakes
it felt nearly empty
yes! nearly out of purified water
will replace this weekend

on the timemore, decided that 1.8.0
is when the line is just to the
right / clockwise side of 1.8 marker

used 1.8.3, measured from that.
16.0 g grounds, added 0.1 g to spares

brew

0:00 - 0:36 176 g water poured
0:36 - 1:07 255.9 g water poured
0:00 - 2:45 immersion
2:45 - 3:45 drawdown

taste

more acid than normal.
juicy. smidge of sweet.

listening

some persian music from n.t.
don’t normally watch performers
but something freshly noticed
in a singer like dariush 2000:

this is about norouz, the persian new year.
sticken by the expert’s “tahrir”
a quick vocal turn
or half-mordent-like motion

تحریر (tahrir): writing, composition,
editing and, in music, a vocal
ornament.

this is mohammad-reza shajarian’s 2003 album,
delshodegan.
