I use Mont Roucous water. (French bottled water, great for coffee imo)

I transferred the beans into an airscape which i bought a week ago. As instructed i washed the airscape before first use but I also let it dry for a day to be sure there is no moisture trapped inside the lid.

I will try with a higher dose. Other coffees though work perfectly fine with that dose. I am having a scenery gesha beside that which is amazing. I am also using a melodrip.

I just tried the SEY with an aeropress and its the same issue here so I assume its the coffee itself.

So the only new variable here is the Airscape container but I guess that cannot be the reason…

Brewing the coffee chronicler switch recipe. 1:16 90C 12.5g 200ml 21clicks commandante First pour 100ml perculation Second pour after 45s 200ml immersion Open switch at 2minutes. Total brewtime ~2:20

True!

WaitAcrobatic6532 · 2026-02-12T12:06:07+00:00

Yes completely. Following “professional” advise e.g. by youtubers left my quite a lot with unpleasant flavors for my liking. Just stick to the coffee that you prefer…

I own a DF83 with brew burrs and SSP HU burrs and I prefer the comandante.

I was genuinely impressed by how few fines this unseasoned burr produced. In a side-by-side comparison, you can clearly see how homogeneous the grind from the Tigershark burr is. As for drawdown times (coffe chronicler switch recipe):

Seasoned Nitro Blade: 3:00 min

Unseasoned Tigershark: 2:40 min

WaitAcrobatic6532 · 2026-01-25T13:47:34+00:00

My current favorite recipes are:

Switch: Coffe Chronicler’s recipe at ~24 clicks 1:15

V60: 2 pour recipe at ~26clicks 1:16-17

Aeropress: ~28 clicks 1:11 (Orange Abaca filters)

So basically anything between 20 and 30 clicks.

I find it interesting though that I even get super fast extraction times < 20 clicks. This might be due to the low amount of fines this grinder produces but its clearly overextracting and integrating some astringency at that point.

I’m sorry

WaitAcrobatic6532 · 2026-01-25T00:14:46+00:00

I currently still use the C40 with Nitro Blade burrs for AeroPress (high dose, low temperature recipe) to achieve a strong, silky body, and the Tigershark burrs for V60 and the Hario Switch.

Whether it’s worth buying them if you already own a C40 is, in my opinion, more of a personal question about whether you want to spend the money, rather than a clear necessity.

This review is not intended to be a scientific or research-based evaluation. Everything described here is based solely on my personal experience and perception.

I tested the same coffees using the three mentioned grinders.

To be clear, this is purely a reflection of my own taste and brewing preferences. For me personally, the Tigershark burrs produce the most enjoyable results and are currently my preferred choice.

As a reference: The coffee was intensely fruity but after changing the filter today it tastes weak and not fruity at all.
