I lucked out with the timing, and was able to pick up a bag of this microlot coffee last week. I’ve now brewed 4 or 5 cups of it. It is definitely very fruit/acid forward, and I’m finding that, at least for the moment, I like it best at 1:16. At 1:15, it was kind of like a little too much of a good thing. Someone posted on Facebook that it turned out really good with immersion (using a Clever Dripper) so I may try brewing it in the Switch to see how that compares.

2/25: After my initial entry, I ended up going back to 1:15 for most of my cups. Eventually, it started tasting a little bit over-extracted at grind setting 2, so today, I backed off to 3. With a little over 90g of beans left, I brewed a larger cup (345g/23g) and it was very nicely balanced. I’ll brew 3 more like today’s, and that will use the beans up.
