My first roasts were last Friday (Monsoon Malabar) and Saturday (Peru Ceja de Selva estate and Brazil Pulped Natural).
I tried the Peru today; espresso, its the only way I drink coffee. The extraction looked great, but the taste was at the extreme end of sour.
I then tried the Monsoon Malabar - got an absolute gusher on the same grind settings (Mazzer Mini set to the notch with the factory-set arrow on it). I ended up moving it 4 notches finer before the extraction was about right. Very enjoyable espresso and ridiculous amount of crema.
Obviously I need to make some adjustments but, given the range of options, I thought I would put my begging bowl out once more and see if I can get some wisdom from the CS forum on what to try first.
Cheers
