- Beans: Lost Dog Coffee “Mocha Sidamo” Organic Dark Roast (Ethiopia)
- 17 grams coffee, 160 grams brew water
- 85°C water
- JX 1.5 rotations minus 3 clicks (fine)
- See comments — an even finer grind than this (1 rotation plus 6 clicks, or 36 total clicks), seems to work better
- Recipe: V60 Style Aeropress (dark roast)
- Cup #1: 80 grams bypass water (240 grams total; 1:14)
- Cup #2: 40 grams bypass water (200 grams total; 1:12)
I got pretty good results the first time I tried this recipe, but didn’t measure how much bypass water I added. The recipe calls for 100mg, but even 80 tasted weak to me. 40 grams (a 200g cup) seemed about the right strength, and was not a bad cup. Given that the recipe calls for so much more water, I’m wondering if I’m not getting enough extraction out of the beans. I don’t think I want to go up much on the water temperature, so I guess I could try grinding even finer and see what happens.
