Preparation

Time: 11:30

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 95.1ºC. Measured 21g 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 coffee grounds gave off a plum like fruitiness. When wet the smell was more chocolatey.

In the mouth I felt the warm hug of a freshly baked chocolate brownie.
