hey all. we got a bunn trifecta at Coffee Roasters of New Orleans a few weeks ago. i have had a couple of chances to play with it and i am starting to get a decent cup of coffee. so far i've only used medium roast single origins, but i plan to move to blends and darker roasts soon.
for an 8 ounce serving, i use 15 grams of beans.
i am using our kitchen grinder, which is an older model Mahlkonig. i use the # 3 setting, which the grinder notes is for a melitta type brewer. a courser grind makes a really thin cup. i might even play with a finer grind.
now the fun/confusing part is all of the other settings. i use:
pre wet 1 sec
pre infuse 15%
dwell time (i forget if they call it extraction or infusion) 90 seconds
turbulence on 5 sec
off 10 sec
power +6
press out power +5
press out time 30 sec
water temp 200 deg.
customers love to watch it brew. shucks, so do i. we joked about adding colored lights.
i also really love that the finished coffee temperature is perfect fo me--i don't have to let it cool, i just start sipping.
i do find that the coffee doesn't stay completely in suspension- it starts to settle. if you sit your cup down for a minute, you have to stir it up.
hope this helps, and if you have a better recipe, please tell me. thanks, elden
all we are is, like, dust in the wind, dude.
