Notes

Flow started around 10 seconds with even flow through both spouts which remained even. Flow color changed at around 20 seconds to light color. Light crema. Taste is bright but disappears quickly.

Good balance with a Lowe coffee to milk ratio and a stronger coffee flavor. Latte art is a big blob.

AI Analysis

Great Shot

Summary

Breakthrough shot. Grind 28, 26 seconds, balance 4, 4 stars — even bilateral flow, brightness that fades quickly, 38.5g yield right in the target window. This is the first clean, dialed-in pull on Ándale bag 2 after four consecutive channeling shots.

What the Numbers Say

Time and ratio both land Normal. Balance 4 (Balanced) matches the taste notes — brightness that disappears quickly is exactly what you want on this bean, not a sourness flag. The even bilateral flow and no mid-shot dropout confirm the puck prep improvements paid off. 7g drip lag is normal for the Bambino.

The One Thing to Change

Lock grind 28, dose 18g, target 37–41g yield.

You've solved the channeling and hit balance 4 with clean flow for the first time on this bag. Stay here.

Bean Context

Day 18 on a medium roast — solidly in peak window. Brightness that fades fast is this bean's character (cherry/wildflower honey), not extraction trouble. Balance 4 on a bright Latin American blend is a strong result.

Progress

Four straight channeling shots at grind 29.5–31, and then this. Slowing down WDT and tightening yield control did exactly what it needed to do. Big improvement.
