Same shot recipe, readings from 8.4% to 10.1%. Am I sampling wrong? I stir, wait for it to cool, then use a syringe filter.

    Same grinder here. Burr alignment was my problem, worth checking.

    I had the same thing with this coffee. A slightly longer ratio fixed it.

    Try a 30-second bloom with twice the coffee’s weight in water.

    What’s your dose, yield and time right now? Hard to say without the numbers.

      Appreciate it, everyone.

    Rinse your paper filter with hot water first. It changes more than you’d think.
