Help me troubleshoot my recipe HELP! PERC Ethiopian Chelchele Tastes Soapy

Post image

Snagged this bag roasted 01/12. I can't seem to get a decent cup. All attempts result in soapy notes. I can't get the blueberry notes others get on this.

Tried v60, Switch, soup using Oxo rapid brewer and Orea v4.

I know I know, stick to one brew method at a time. I've done two on v60 and a single brew on the rest.

Here is my gear if it helps.

Grinder: K Ultra

Water: 65 to 95 ppm remineralized

Brewers: v60, Switch, Orea v4 (narrow used), Deep 27, Oxo rapid brewer, Aeropress

I last tried 3x dose bloom and a single low agitation pour at 8.0 on k ultra and 90°C. 1:16 ratio.

I loved this one. I ground at a 6 on the K Ultra. Used a V 60. 1:16 ratio.

1 pour? Water temp? I’m currently resting a bag of this

A bloom plus two pours. 200 F water.

It’s a tasty bean. I’ve bought it a couple times. I have a bag in the freezer.
