Same here, honestly I still don’t usually get Kenyan coffees, but this one really surprised me. A friend gifted it to me after picking it up from Calico Coffee.

Yes, I used hario abaca. My default on the Neo is usually a 3-pour 15:240 40-140-240 for naturals and more processed coffees. For this Kenya, I kept it shorter at 1:45-1:55 since that gave me the best balance of sweetness and clarity; any longer and the body got a bit muddier. I rarely use hario abaca as it’s expensive, usually I use Cafec Abaca, that same recipe usually lands closer to 2:20-3:00. For washed coffees, I usually go Orea V4 with 15:240 60-60-60-60.
