Intelligentsia Classic Black Cat Espresso (2-27-10)
Loading...
Uploaded by TimEggers on Feb 27, 2010
Intellegentsia Black Cat espresso pulled on my Quickmill Anita using my Baratza Vario grinder.
17g dose, 199F at 9-bar brewing pressure
Sweet chocolate, buttery honey body and soft finish, delicious espresso!
Sorry for the dark video and occasional auto-focus. Overall shot was pretty good, ran for quite a while (coffee is super fresh only about 2 days old). Grind could be a little tigher. Brew ratio was right at 51% which makes the shot a normale. Overall a nice shot. Distribution is spot on and done completely by the Vario. Grind into basket and tamp (nothing more). Vario is amazing!

Great video!
Just curious, are you using a flat tamper?

Hey Tim, was that a 20oz eXpresso Venti like they do at Charbux? That pour was streaming! ... just kidding! :)
@Mikele & Liquidfire: The extraction was 50 seconds. This is an E-61 grouphead machine. Look at the lever on the right of the portafilter. He lifts it at 2sec and lowers it at 52sec.
It's a nice looking extraction. It's a sign of a good grinder. How many oz espresso did you produce there, Tim?

@Mikele33 Not necessarily 25-27. Sometimes you can go 35-40. That depends on the beans. Just as a matter of fact I have bought 1/2 pound of freshly roasted (4 days ago) two days ago from Blue Bottle Coffee Roasters (Hayes Valley Espresso) and the little note that comes with it says (I'm quoting): "Boiler temp: 203. Dose: 21g in double basket. Extraction time: Leisurely 35 seconds. Yield: Scant 1.5 oz". At home, 35-40 seconds works best for me with this roast. 25 sec did not do well.

SICK PULL MAN!

Nice pull. :) Noticed you lived in central Illinois. Black cat & Metropolis available out there? Or do you mail order? Just curious.
