I’m having an issue brewing a specific coffee which I didn’t have problems with in the past. Curious of everyones take on what happened? Problem with this roast? User error? Something else?
So to begin with I'm just curious of anyones take on what happened here. So feel free to drop a comment/suggestion of what you think is the cause or issue? I'm adding photos as well. One is of the same coffee but different roast dates, with the left coffee being the older one with no issues and the one on the right being the recent coffee I've been having trouble with. The other photo is just the coffee Im having trouble with.
Note: Originally I assumed it had to be user error or this coffee is an outlier but now I have no clue what the issue was. Maybe something went wrong with the coffee during storage at this time, or the roast was done wrong (which I cannot tell from looking at but I will post photos of the coffee I'm having trouble brewing and the same coffee from a month before which does not have these issues), or possibly an issue with the roaster itself at this time. So please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
So, there's a roaster in New York (where I live) who I am a huge fan of. They have several amazing naturals they roast that have a great fruity flavor. But I bought one recently that I have been having massive trouble brewing. I use a plastic V60, brown filters, brew 20 grams and 1:15-1:16 ratio. Best time I found on this coffee specifically is usually around 2:45-2:55. I have a niche grinder and typical grind for this brew set up is between 37 and 42 on the dial.
This coffee though at around that grind originally came to approximately 2:00 and it tasted weak. I ended up having to go to 23 on the Niche to get this coffee to brew at 2:30 and even then it had that fruity note but it was very harsh/sharp if you understand what I mean. Also in feeling the ground coffee at 23 it is a lot finer than I have ever used for a pour over.
Originally i thought the issue might be the grinder and I took it a part, cleaned it and recalibrated the Niche, but nothing changed.
Just want to step back a second and provide as much information as possible for anyone to help limit any questions of factors. So the coffee was roasted on February 21st, my first brewing of this coffee was on March 4th until today March 11th. Also, I'm using boiling water – 212 degrees F.
So now today Im having the same issues again with this coffee and ended up giving up and brewing a different coffee from another local roaster. That different coffee followed the usual patterns including the typical grind dial that I usually use which suggests to me that theres something off with this natural coffee. Further, in thinking over what happened, I swore I had enjoyed this coffee before without these issues. Ended up going through my little stash of older bags that barely have any coffee left and turns out I have this same coffee roasted from January 16th.
I brewed that coffee under my usual guidelines but just a little finer at 38, and it worked pretty well. Tastes a lot better than this new coffee.
So if anyone knows what happened? Why would the same coffee, thats supposed to be roasted pretty much the same have a such massive changes to it. I'm very consistent with my brewing, grind sizes, amount of water, etc. so this shouldn't factor in. If anyone knows or has an idea/suggestion please let me know. Also, if anyone notices any differences in the coffees from the photos please drop a comment since I don't see anything OTHER THEN THE MORE RECENT COFFEE CAUSING ME TROUBLE TO BE A LITTLE DARKER ROASTED.
