Coffee Journal

Notes on beans, roasts and the occasional ruined batch.

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, washed

Bright and floral, almost tea-like. Works best as pour-over at 93°C. Espresso turns it sour.

Grinder burr alignment

Spent an evening shimming the burrs. Shot time dropped by four seconds for the same dose.

Storing beans

Airtight, dark, room temperature. The freezer debate continues, but weekly bags do not need it.
