El Silencio

Day 15

Preparation

Time: 11:30

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 95.6ºC. 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 coffee grounds reminded me of toasted hazelnuts, in those moments just before they catch and burn.

Initially the coffee tasted fruity and light, but quickly gave way to a more rough taste. I’m reminded of green grapes that haven’t yet picked up their sweetness.
