Any tips on how to get the best from this bean?
I bought it on Beanbay as I loved the description from Andy "thick, viscous spicy syrup with low acidity and velvet mouthfeel", but I can't seem to hit the lovely mouthfeel and just get bitterness! Apologies for my lack of superlatives but my tastebuds are not that refined.
I've gone through two batches one roasted to CS7 and one to CS9/10 in a Behmor on the P3 C profile. The CS7 batch had too much spice as an SO but was good under milk. I'm still on the CS9/10 batch and find this too earthy as an SO and lacking that velvet mouthfeel. I've tried it on brew temps of 92, 94 and 95 with 94 the preferred option. I've also tried messing with the fineness to tighten and loosen the pour but still not getting there.
Maybe it's just my dodgy tastebuds....!
