Something is tainting coffee brewed through my syphon.
Originally I thought it was my roasting so I modified my roast profile - no change
Then I thought it was the cloth filter - replaced and made sure it was clean clean clean each time.
I clean my syphon each time with cafetto. The syphon has plain water drawn up and down through it without coffee. Then dried in the sun. It smells fine when cleaned.
Plain water thats been run through it tastes fine too.
Im using 60gm/L with a medium coarse grind and 60 second steep. I wouldnt think so, but could the burner be the culprit? Im using the crappy alcohol burner that came with it.
Any ideas? Maybe my chemex with those much maligned paper filters will offer some comfort - and clarity to my expen$ive coffee.
