Water temperature was 95.6ºC. Measured 21g coffee and poured 25ml over the coffee to wet it. Waited 30s and pured over a further 250ml water, keeping the filter funnel about half full.</p> <h3 id="observation">Observation</h3> <p>Smelling the coffee when wet I was instantly reminded of Chinese food which I couldn&rsquo;t quite place. I eventually settled on something that reminded me of roast meat accompanied by radish. A description that, if it appeared on the side of a bag of coffee, would almost instantly put me off buying it.</p>
