August 9, 2026 at 2:26 am #4850Brewer and filter: AeroPress Original; AeroPress paper
Grinder, burr and calibration: Timemore Sculptor 078; 078 turbo burrs; setting 8; touch point checked
Bean, roaster, process and roast date: Colombia Pink Bourbon; Kawa; anaerobic washed; roast date 2026-07-26
Dose and water mass: 16.0 g coffee; 267 g water
Temperature and water profile: 91°C; bottled low-mineral water, about 45 ppm TDS
Pour/agitation schedule: single continuous main pour after a 45 s bloom; one small excavation with spoon only if dry pockets remain
Drawdown time: 3:45
Expected and perceived flavour: expected clean citrus and tea-like finish; perceived cup is bitter in the finish
Changes already tested: reduced agitation; kept dose, water and temperature fixedI am looking for current reports rather than a greatest-hits list from five years ago. I am in France, so shipping time and how the coffee arrives matter almost as much as the tasting notes. Recent bags first, please.

Recent France report: my last order arrived within the normal window for domestic/import delivery and the roast date was recent enough that I still rested it before brewing. The useful part was consistency across two bags, not one spectacular cup.

If you are ordering one bag internationally, the shipping cost becomes a tasting note.

Also in France, but my order was a few months ago, so treat this as older evidence. Shipping was fine and the coffee opened up after about two weeks. I would still want a newer report before subscribing.

Foreign and older report, so this belongs lower in the pile. The coffee itself was excellent, but transit changed the resting window enough that my recipe notes are probably not portable to your order.

Please say roast date when you post a roaster review. ‘Fresh’ has become an adjective with no legal guardian.
