Same beans. Vastly different results. Need help!
How is it that the same bag of beans is giving me such different results?
I've been on the hunt for a solid smedium/light roast daily driver. Heard good things about counter culture Apollo. Saw a sale at target. Decided to give it a try. And it fit the bill!
Went ahead and bought a bigger bag directly from counter culture and was shipped a fresh bag. Been trying to dial it in on my ORB ever since to no success. Consistently getting bitterness and absolutely none of the brightness that I had in my previous bag. Heard it could be due to how fresh the coffee is but Im pushing a few weeks in now with no change.
I would have assumed similar grind size between both bags but have been trying to open up grind size to the point where my pours are nearly flowing right through. No luck.
Currently using the ORB paired with Fellow Ode Gen 2 w. SSP MP burrs.
22g dose
Paper sandwich
80g water
A first push to saturate the screen then smooth pushes the rest of the way thru hiss.
Any explanation and help dialing it in is much appreciated! Thanks!
