Preparation

Time: 11:30

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 96.3ºC. Measured 22g coffee and poured 50ml over the coffee to wet it. Waited 30s and pured over a further 250ml water, keeping the filter funnel about half full.

Observation

The grounds smelled of pistachio with a sweetness that I attributed to rose.

In the mouth, the initial taste reminded me of rose hip but was quickly dominated with a nutty buttery taste.
