grind

heated 316 g purified water
planning 1.8.0 on the timemore
coarser … is that right?
finca is light-medium roast
wouldn’t that mean finer grind …

tried 1.8.4 instead of the 1.8.3 baseline.

measured 16.1 g finca beans,
then trimmed 0.1 g to the spares
for a 16.0 g dose. roast date
matches the guatemala bag just
finished: 2026-02-16.

3 spritzes r.d.t.,
4 shakes.

grounds sniff

brew

by 1:14, poured 256.5 g
purified water. active agitation
for the first 175 g, then
smooth clockwise spirals
in and out.

taste

tim hecker’s haunt me
before first sip, which
smacked sour, then
bitter on the right, in
the back. second shipped
same valence. when
holding the liquid
darkly focused with
language, gaze
sizzles on juicy
horizon: what does next
cup need? shorter
immersion, coarser grind.

the will to experiment
comes from the chaotic
central tendency
or curse.
break it
to rebuild it.
live with the broken
to inhabit the
builder’s spirit.

listening

haunt me, haunt me do it again
by tim hecker.
