MWJB I will try the 290g water method this afternoon and report back
Melitta Aromaboy
MWJB MArk, having thought about this and not come to a conclusion, I loosened the grind off a few notches using 22g and 290g water. The brew was complete about 20 seconds faster that normal. It definitely tasted stronger but should i have tightened or loosened the grind please?
MWJB Funnily enough I thought it tasted better, but this might just have been stronger. Tomorrow I will re adjust and report back

Jairo Arcila Yeast and Strawberries co-ferment
Grabbed a white plastic V60 01. I would have preferred a black which wasn’t in stock.
Brewed 15g with 210g water with dry bed at 3:15 mins at 15% 400 Kruve (#17) on the Duo.
I used Hario’s Project waterfall paper which was too big on 01. @MWJB, do you have a filter paper recommendation for V60 01 for the Aromaboy please ?
I am thinking either use the same paper or convert and use the Kalia 101.
Coffee was good, it hit the notes on the bag and scored 8/9.
My ‘go to’ is Rombouts #2, folded to fit V60. Not tried the Kalita with it (run out for now).
I used to trim down the 02 Hario papers with scissors for 01 use at times, only takes a moment.

Zennor’s Colombia El Jaragual Thermal Shock
Brewed on the Aromaboy at 15% 400 Kruve. I have been dosing either 15g or 18.0g for this brewer at 1:14 ratio on V60 01 using Kalita 101 paper. I don’t fold it to the V60 01 size. It fits fine as it is. I wet the paper with hot water, dump the coffee and use the strainer. It gives a clean, a smooth and a nice cup of coffee every time. The coffee has good strength and retains all the flavours expected from the bag. I prefer the coffee with strainer than without.
The El Jaragual is lightly roasted with a complex body - nice, juicy and sweet acidity (as in passion fruit at the start and stone fruit as it cools down). The finish was more like a fruit tea. I scored it 7.75/9.
Brewing on the switch and espresso should also be good.

Edit:
The decaf requires brewing at 80g/L (1:12.5) to get the best out of the beans.
