Dang. I’ve assumed I just like lattes, and I’ve been thinking of replacing my grinder because I couldn’t get the tasting notes out of the coffee. Tried sipping the espresso before adding the milk… Ohhhh, that’s where the flavours are.

Great, now I have to try changing THAT variable too! Argh! 😆

Continued #WeirdCoffeePerson fun - brewing the decaf we liked the least (EA/cane sugar process) as a v60. It took *forever* to draw down. Better flavour and body than the cupping brew, but still very mild and doesn't last long on the palate.

This is behaving like a very old coffee so TBH the main fault here might be me leaving this a couple of weeks past the official tasting. It does support the general wisdom that decaf ages faster.

Fun #WeirdCoffeePerson times today, doing the James Hoffman decaf project tasting. That's the same coffee - one normal/unprocessed, the others decaffeinated three different ways.

The different decaf processes did taste quite different to me; and while I didn't bother doing this as a blind tasting FWIW we both preferred Swiss Water method (nicer flavour and much more body).

The #coffee in the office is pretty good, there's an automatic #espresso machine which grinds beans freshly, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the coffee I make at home with the beans I like in my #aeropress ☕

Learning what good coffee tastes like is a blessing and a curse for sure.

Making pour over with a Beehouse that's been pre-heated and has a rinsed Melitta #4 paper filter. Coffee is a light roast, washed, Nicaraguan. Flavor profile is Citris, Ripe Fruit, Spice, Yuzu, White Grape, and Hazelnut. Water is 200F

I'm pulse brewing (fill it up a bit, let it draw down a little, refill, repeat) using 22 grams of coffee at a 1:15 ratio resulting in 330 grams of water. The water is brita filtered and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm brewing using the 4:6 method: blooming with 66g of water for 45 seconds, 66 grams at 45 seconds, 66 grams more at 1:30 minutes, 66 grams more at 2:10 minutes, and the final 66 grams at 2:50 minutes.

Total brew time is roughly 4-4:30'ish seconds.

#coffee was ground on a Baratza Encore at a setting of 18 ~ see image

Resulting brew has a lack of flavor seperation, tastes muddy, and isn't very bright/clear.

What would you recommend to improve clarity, flavor, and brightness?

Ich gucke eine Livestream -Aufzeichnung von James Hoffmanns Coffee Tasting und ich bin fasziniert. Ich bin nicht ganz sicher was ich mir ansehe aber es ist fesselnd.

After seeing the #JamesHoffman Caffe Olio Starbucks video on YouTube, it got me curious. So I took the fancy olive oil I have at home, brewed an Aeropress of local #PortlandCoffee, added 3/4 tsp of oil to a mixing glass, added coffee and ice, and shook (like a cocktail). Strained into a chilled glass. It’s quite lovely and adds richness, a sort of brightness and some pepper at the end.

Olive Oil coffee is a thing yo.
