Pour over
This bag had a very strong chemical smell out of the box, which worried me, though it thankfully didn’t come through in the cup. Lighter and more floral than expected for a “Chocolate Rich & Roasty” box; a bit weak and tea-like with low body. If you enjoy light, floral coffees, this might still hit the mark. (Likely a one-off smell issue since no other reviews mention it.) V60 — 310g water (~1:15.5), 92°C, J-Max ~3:70 Bloom 45–50g, wait 40–45s Pour to ~170g by ~1:30 (gentle spirals) Final pour to 310g by ~2:15–2:20 (center) Drawdown ~3:15–3:30
