My Coffee advent calendar
How do you determine what temperature to set machine? I see you play with it a lot.
Day 13
Goldbox Bensa asefa Ethiopia - claiming a cup score of 88.25 ! Really juicy and with just perfect amount of tartness/sour notes. Very enjoyable as espresso. The best way I can describe it is as very ripe fruit with a perfect balance of tart and sweet flavour. With milk you still get juiciness cutting through.
First attempt was ground too fine but still very enjoyable / 93 degrees 1:2.3 ratio @ 49 seconds with 10 seconds pre-infusion. Second shot run at same ratio for 37 seconds.
Day 14
Horsham Sumatra alko co-operative - described as fruity and juicy by the roaster and it just shows how juiciness can be different. Comparing to yesterdays bean this remind me of anerobic fermented coffees. It’s definitely juicy and tropical fruity but with a completely different depth of flavour. Really enjoying this one. Had only one Sumatran coffee before and it was quite a dark roast so nothing like this. Ground to coarse so tightened grind for second shot. First run for 20 seconds @ 1:2.3 ratio 93.5 temp.
Day 15 brings Kiss the hippo Donna 50/50 blend manos de mujer Colombia and san juan Nicaragua - Dark chocolate and caramel sweetness with pleasant minimal bitterness. I’m not a fan of dark roasts but this isn’t one of those burned, oily darks. Nice change from last few days fruit forward coffees. 1:1.8 ratio @ 90.5 degrees 35 seconds with 5 second pre-infusion.
