Target Roast: Mountains of the Moon - Medium Roast

Brew Parameters:

• Dose (Coffee): 15g
• Yield (Output): 250g
• Ratio: 1:16.6
• Water Temperature: 94°C
• Brew Time: 2:30 - 3:00 minutes

5-Grinder Calibration Matrix:

• Fellow Ode Gen 2: 5.1 (range 5.0 - 6.0)
• Comandante C40: 20 - 22 clicks
• Mahlkönig X54: 22 - 24
• Mahlkönig EK43: 9.0 - 9.5
• Eureka Mignon Specialità: 4.5 - 5.0 turns from chirp
• Timemore C3: 14 - 15 clicks

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Rinse paper filter thoroughly with boiling water to eliminate paper taste and pre-heat the dripper. Discard water.
2. Add 15g of ground coffee. Gently tap sides to level the coffee bed.
3. 0:00 - Bloom: Pour 45g of 94°C water in gentle concentric circles. Swirl the brewer gently for 3 seconds to ensure 100% saturation. Allow 45 seconds for dense CO2 degassing.
4. 0:45 - First Pour: Pour smoothly in concentric circles from center outward up to 150g total weight with minimal agitation.
5. 1:30 - Second Pour: Pour steadily until reaching total weight of 250g.
6. Give one final gentle swirl to wash down clinging grounds from the filter wall and let the bed draw down flat.

Barista Pro-Tip: Naturally processed Rwenzori beans generate slightly more fines. If your drawdown exceeds 3:15, grind one step coarser. If the grapefruit notes feel harsh, increase grind size; if strawberry sweetness is faint, grind one click finer.

Target Roast: Mountains of the Moon - Medium Dark Roast or Dark Roast

Brew Parameters:

• Dose (Coffee): 18g
• Yield (Output): 38g
• Ratio: 1:2.1

• Comandante C40: 8 - 10 clicks (or 16-20 with Red Clix)
• Mahlkönig X54: 6.0 - 7.5
• Mahlkönig EK43: 1.8 - 2.2
• Eureka Mignon Specialità: 1.2 - 1.6 from chirp
• Timemore C3: 7 - 8 clicks

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Flush group head and ensure portafilter basket is clean, dry, and thoroughly pre-heated.
2. Grind 18g of coffee into basket. Use a WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) needle tool to declump grounds.
3. Tamp level with 15–20 kg pressure.
4. Lock portafilter into group head and immediately engage pump and timer.
5. Observe first drip at 6–8 seconds; target exactly 38g of espresso liquid in cup around the 30-second mark.

Barista Pro-Tip: For Yvette's Dark Roast, keep water temperature strictly at 90–91°C. Cooler water keeps cocoa and dark caramel notes luscious and avoids scorched bitterness.

Target Roast: Mountains of the Moon - Dark Roast

• Comandante C40: 8 clicks
• Mahlkönig X54: 6.0
• Mahlkönig EK43: 1.7
• Eureka Mignon Specialità: 1.2 from chirp
• Timemore C3: 7 clicks

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Pull a tight, viscous 32g ristretto shot from 18g coffee dose at 89°C.
2. Pour 120ml cold whole organic milk (or oat barista milk) into stainless pitcher.
3. Incorporate microfoam for only 3 seconds, then submerge wand tip to spin a silky, wet-paint vortex.
4. Do not exceed 65°C (150°F) to protect natural lactose sweetness.
5. Pour textured milk through center of espresso, creating an integrated chocolate-velvet harmony.

Barista Pro-Tip: Dark roast SL beans extract quickly. If your shot flows under 22 seconds, grind finer to build sufficient backpressure for a thick crema foundation.
