      Original-poster update
      Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
      Applies to: Charcoal Lane 2025 Rou Gui / roasted oolong rest log in a setup close to 90 ml porcelain gaiwan.
      Evidence: follow-up on the author’s own Charcoal Lane 2025 Rou Gui.
      Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
      Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
      Observed result: smoke dropped sharply and fruit became clearer.
      Limitations: Water chemistry may change the result, so I would not generalize this to every city.
      Commercial relationship: none.

        I appreciate that nobody has told you to buy a new kettle yet. Growth.

          Yeah, small rooms punish boomy stuff fast. Anything with clear vocals and not a giant low end usually holds up better

            Inference
            Direct recommendation: repeat the same recipe on a second day.
            Applies to: Charcoal Lane 2025 Rou Gui / roasted oolong rest log in a setup close to 90 ml porcelain gaiwan.
            Evidence: inference from the posted parameters, not a test of this exact tea.
            Change: repeat the same recipe on a second day.
            Expected effect: a repeated result should be easier to trust.
            Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.

              Controlled test

              Evidence: side-by-side or repeated one-variable test.
              Change: weigh the actual filled water once.

                I think the looseness is part of it, but not every messy thing is intentional. Sometimes a band just knows when to stop tidying up.

                  yeah, and speakers make the voices sit a little farther back too, which helps some people. headphones can turn the weirdness into a spotlight.

                    If you want to test it, try headphones once and speakers once. The clutter feels different…

                      What changed after the first year was not cup quality, it was tolerance for the workflow. The small annoyances become more informative than the specifications.

                        At this point the Profitec GO 2025 has more accessories than my car.

                          Confirmed solution: I checked the exact revision and water/part specification, followed the manufacturer-compatible procedure, then flushed and verified normal taste/operation before changing anything else. I am leaving the original numbers above intact so the next person can see what changed.

                            Late to the housewarming, but congratulations. Everything seems house-trained so far, which is more than I can say for most places I spend my day.

                              same raga, same day if you can manage it. otherwise the comparison starts wearing a fake mustache

                                musicians really do schedule suspense like it is a shift

                                  small correction, the pakhawaj usually enters after the slow exploration of the raga, not just after alap in a generic sense.

                                  but yeah, once it arrives the whole room changes and everyone pretends they were ready
