Brew Number 5

Failure...

This is the biggest failure since Nighthawk and Dragon wrecked their dad's boat while making the first music video for Prestige Worldwide.

I ground the coffee and it had a light milk chocolate type color to the grind, similar to batch 2. Unfortunately when I brewed in the french press the color did not change much. The flavor was mild, weak which is disappointing because the smell of the beans was good. The taste is kind of what would be expected from the smell except much more watery.

From my estimation what happened here is that warming up the machine for 2 minutes caused the beans to roast on the outside quicker than normal and the inside suffered for this leaving me with an incomplete roast.

Trial and error is what its all about. Looking forward to getting some more beans and continuing with this.

For anyone who is reading my blog - yes its true. I've gone off the deep end. I am spending far too much time, energy at this new found hobby. Feel free to laugh at me and mock me. It's all good.
