Summary

Grind 42, 18.1g in, 36g out in 32 seconds — Normal time, technically Short ratio but very close to the Normal boundary. Balance logged at 3 (Slightly Sour), 3 stars. The flow note is the key detail here: left-only flow from ~10–25s before evening out suggests a mild channel that resolved mid-shot.

What the Numbers Say

Time (32s) and ratio (1.99) are both solid — the ratio reads Short by a fraction of a gram, but at 1.99 it's essentially Normal. Balance 3 is consistent with this bean's confirmed character. The slightly sour read today is likely the same quick-fade brightness you've documented before on this natural process bean. The asymmetric flow (left spout only for ~15 seconds) is worth noting — it didn't torpedo the shot, but it's a puck prep signal.

The One Thing to Change

Keep grind 42. On the next shot, slow down your WDT and pay close attention to evenness across the full puck surface — the left-side-only flow from 10–25s suggests the distribution wasn't fully uniform before tamping.

The grind setting is confirmed dialed in across three clean shots. Time and ratio landed in range. The mid-shot channel is the one variable to address, and it's a prep artifact, not a grind issue. Extra attention on WDT coverage — especially edges — should close that asymmetric flow.

Bean Context

Day 11 post-roast on a natural process Cerrado, which puts you solidly in the peak window. The Slightly Sour read at balance 3 is consistent with what you've seen before on this bean — natural process brightness that fades rather than lingers. No freshness concern here.

Progress

This is your third consecutive Normal-time shot at grind 42 — the dialing-in phase on this bean is effectively done. The slight channel today is minor and didn't break the shot. Focus is shifting from 'find the grind' to 'nail the prep every time.'
