Notes

Flow started at around 10 second edges to center with spraying, converging into a single stream quickly. Taste is more balanced with fruit notes but I can’t distinguish a particular one.

Taste is light with bright undertones, without too much body due to the lack of foam from the milk. Milk frothing went good but pouring was uncontrolled. No latte art

AI Analysis

Good Shot

Summary

Shot 3 on the Mexico Amatenango — 29s Normal, 2.08 ratio Normal, balance 4, quality 4. You went finer to 37.5 (from 40 on shots 1–2), flow converged quickly after initial spray, and taste landed balanced with fruit notes. Notably you're now at day 10, which is exactly when the roaster recommends resting to — the freshness and the grind move both went in the right direction simultaneously.

What the Numbers Say

Time and ratio are both squarely Normal. Balance hit 4 — your first balanced shot on this bean. The spray at the start is worth watching: edges-to-center with early spray that converges quickly on a naked PF is a mild distribution flag, but given it resolved fast and taste was balanced with no linger, it's not affecting extraction meaningfully. 7g Bambino drip lag is normal.

The One Thing to Change

Lock grind 37.5, dose 18.8g, target 37–41g yield. The early spray is worth one more WDT pass — bias your final 10s slightly to the right edge, which has been the recurring coverage gap on this bag.

Balance 4 with no linger and clean fruit notes is exactly where you want to be. The spray is the one remaining roughness — a WDT right-edge bias is the targeted fix before considering any grind move.

Bean Context

Toffee and juicy orange notes are showing through now that the sour linger is gone — that's the bean expressing itself cleanly. Day 10 is the roaster's minimum rest recommendation and the freshness status just flipped to peak, so the timing aligns perfectly. The spray at shot start is consistent with the right-edge distribution pattern you've seen on this bag (shot 1) — not a grind issue.

Progress

Three shots in and you've gone from spraying+sour linger to balanced+fruit-forward. The grind jump from 40 to 37.5 was decisive — good call reading the faster flow from shot 2 context.
