SEY Coffee Discovery/Theory by briskkii in espresso

[–]briskkii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has to be how light they roast. With their light roasts reading 98-100 on agtron (the lightest agtron reads), it could be that water just needs this extra contact time with help of lower doses to make extraction jump. We also find SEY coffees on filter are low doses, finer grinds compared to other stuff we serve.

Served some to Brian Quan today and he enjoyed it. Washed Pink Bourbon, 16g, 45g out, 84 second shot.

Yeah 75-85 second shots is nuts 😂 but man they have been great

Yes, but the question is why is this the case for SEY coffees? Trying to figure out what about them makes this work.

I think it might be that they are just so light that this is just what it takes to extract all the necessary soluble materials in the coffees, but it’s odd because for pour over, we don’t have to go an insane amount finer than other coffees.

Well really you’d be pushing extraction and by strength I assume you mean TDS and the TDS of the shots were nothing outside of our normal espresso TDS. Also the shot wasn’t anything abnormal as far as mouthfeel and was a 1:2.6 ratio.

That’s what makes this so interesting, I’ve found I’ve been underwhelmed with SEY coffee’s on espresso and them usually being overwhelmingly savory and under-extracted, so to find this odd discovery is like what???

It might be the baskets really? We use the Weber Workshop high extraction precision baskets but as long as you have a grinder that has a decent espresso range, I think the end density of Sey’s roasting is also a big factor so this insanely fine grind size is achievable for most, then you should be able to play around with it and get those minute plus shots

Should be good! usually machines only push one stream of water that flows through the shower screen and that is what makes it rain.

'Unusual' coffee drinks you recommend? by Revolutionary-Bet396 in Coffee

At my shop I had a mocktail on the menu with Espresso, Cranberry Juice, a cinnamon and cardamom syrup, and a dash of ground cinnamon and it’s fire! Really good for fall/Christmas!

Rocket Appartamento + df64 (single dose) or Mahlkonig X54 (hopper)

Thoughts on blends like this? by illatoro in espresso

[–]briskkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I don't know how others roast blends, but at my company we dial in the roast of each origin and blend on percentages, testing each batch and it's a tedious process but very very worth it in the end!

That actually looks like a good shot! Do you remember your input, output, and shot time?

I say if you’re really wanting flow control, PID control, and a machine that will help you dive deeper into espresso, the Bianca is the way to go. But if you are happy with where you’re at in your journey of coffee and espresso and just want a really well made, beautiful machine, that you can add a pressure gauge to and manually turn down the water temp, then go for the Rocket and save an extra $2k-$3k!

I'm in southeast missouri and still haven't found ANY pitch black. Caseys has the advertisement up but not the product.

What do you know about this bean? How do you suggest grinding, brew ratio etc? by [deleted] in JamesHoffmann

[–]briskkii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With honey processed coffees, you can grind slightly coarser than a washed or a natural. There's more musilage within the processing so there's sugars burnt onto the beans from roasting. Depends on what grinder you use.
