MY TAKE
The kind of coffee I want to wake up to. Sweet and easygoing, with just enough orange to keep things interesting. Still finding its sweet spot.
A SMALL EXPERIMENT
Same beans. Different cups.
The details, side by side. My favorite cup is marked in green. Changed settings are underlined.

| Tasting notes | Orange up front, then a soft chocolate finish. A little lighter than I wanted, but a lovely clean cup. Try a couple of clicks finer tomorrow. | This is the one. Warm chocolate, a little orange peel, and a sweetness that hangs around. Much rounder with the finer grind. Drank it by the window. Forgot to check my phone. |
A taste for progress.
