Bunn Trifecta

[jjcoolel]

latest results. first, i must thank tom oliver, partner/owner of coffee roasters of new orleans and master barista.
first we made the grind a touch courser, setting the grinder to 3 and 1/2. next we changed pre-infusion to 25%. extraction/ brew time we dropped to 60 seconds. turbulence is on 1sec, off 4 sec. and we increased toe temp to 202 deg.
i'm still using 15grams of coffee for an 8oz. serving.
yesterday we tried a medium roasted panama from cafe ruiz. my cup was brighter with a good body. nice citrus in both taste and aroma.
where it really shined was when we tried with a dark roast blend. i used my favorite which is our crescent city blend. it is a french roast mocha java. the aroma is rich and exotic. a little bit woody(not pine but teak). the cup was really deep and complex, with individual flavors of the mocha and the java standing out and complementing each other. i had to sit down to finish my cup.
my one complaint has to be that the coffee tends to fall out of suspension-you have to swirl or stir between sips.
i would recommend the trifecta as another brewing method, especially for a shop or restaurant that wants their coffee to be part of a presentation, not just a pour and serve.
hope this helps, elden

i have another recipe to share on the trifecta. and again, my thanks go to Tom Oliver of Coffee Roasters of New Orleans. he has been competing with me on recipes, and this is his for our Kenya AA:

grind 3.5(halfway between drip and melitta)
volume 12 oz
pre-wet .5
pre-infus 20%

Tommy showed off this recipe with some customers in the house, and they just loved it. when he put it through the mojo extractor it scored a 22%.
hope y'all like this one, i want to try a darker roast next week.

The Bunn lady came by...

we've been on like just a bit finer than french press
22-24 grms.
low pre infusion (it's cold water)
Long press down time.

Pretty good, kind of tames acidity more than i'd like....
