Scroll to 1:09.30


Brewing a Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia.
Equipment: V60
Sifted the grounds through 250 micron, up the extraction to 23-24%, 1.45-1.5 TDS, because the window of extraction is higher without the tiny grounds...


Description: subtle sweet peach, plum, white apricot - or white green grape..


hmmm, kinda want this.


Loved the technique - going to definitely try Benda method - for even extraction with a level ground, and thin layer at the top of the filter.
