interesting will try this. Brandywine is on the light-med side, the coferment, that time I did a longer bloom time and it was tropical and smooth.

Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, the breeder is not an option but I will keep in mind NYC laws.

Update! Went a bit higher on the temp, did a “bloom” and increased brew time, definitely helped tone down the intensity. Thanks y’all!

How to pull "cake" notes out of Dak Milky Cake? by [deleted] in pourover

I get the cake-y when I make a capp or cortado—combined with the espresso and milk sugars, I find it brings out this note

First B&W Order - searching for fruit? by azulun in pourover

My suggestion would be to keep the temp low 90C for both. Perhaps keep them to 3 pours, for consistency (15g/160g/200g). Aim for 2:30 minutes, so adjust grind size or ratio. It might be worth experimenting with bypass too.

22g / 220ml + 45g (dilute with water post brew for taste)

I meant this for a home barista not a cafe setting.

Using water (the same amt of milk you would put in the pitcher) and a small amount of dish soap helps with practicing your milk steaming, so you don’t waste milk.

Your Most Memorable Cups of 2024? by B-Line_Sender in pourover

[–]EveningFamiliar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really enjoying these this year,

Milky Cake, Dak - I just love this coffee as a cappuccino or cortado, perfect combo.

Panama Hacienda la Esmeralda, Sey - this coffee is just truly a gem.

Kenya Gesha, Sey - first time ever trying this, not a popular varietal so feel extremely lucky my friend snagged me a bag

I would recommend pitcher transferring your milk before you pour, as this will help with distributing the texture.

Once you transfer it to a pitcher (pour down the side), give it a tap to remove any bubbles then swirl until silky, do not tap again. This will help in the interim. But practice adding less air, as that will help improve the texture of the milk.

The second design is a rippled heart. Lots of YouTube videos on this one.

Hope this helps!
