Two things varied from my previous attempt:
- I kept it in the fridge instead of on the bench (it’s been really hot in Melbourne and the fridge is closer to “normal” temperature than outside)
- doubled the amount of water
The difference? It’s certainly cooler, and a weaker flavour. That being said, Â I think you get more of the subtleties of the flavour rather than being a bit thwacked with it. I found my last experiment nice, but perhaps a bit sharp. This batch tastes very smooth and refreshing.
This batch also seemed to be less gritty, with me seeing fewer grounds in the filter. I wonder if that’s due to fridge, variance of grind or water quantity.
I think for my next go I’m going to try same amount of coffee, in the fridge, but 2 cups of water.
