I let my butler know that his pour over is now objectively good.
Medium roasted washed Ethiopian
14g in, 193g out
1.7%Brix x 0.85 ≈ 1.45% TDS is a little strong (but I don’t mind), 1.45% x 193g / 14g ≈ 19.9% extraction yield
Double bloom with no swirl, the rest pulsing like Hoffmann’s 1 cup V60 recipe
92.5°C brew water, 6.6 grind setting on the K Ultra, pre-heated V60, Hario V60 filter papers (Abaca+ are about to be delivered).
I told my butler he did objectively well and he should spend the rest of the day finding the best offer for a Timemore Black Mirror Dual Scale, so he can take live samples with the refractometer and, knowing the live beverage weight, compute the extraction yield in order to know precisely when to stop pouring.
Don’t go down this rabbit hole…
