Grey Anthem

Espresso in a terracotta bowl

Common

An espresso in a terracotta bowl, #287 of 999. Roastery light, napkin counter. Ring on the surface. Common, roast score 85.1.

The recipe

18.4 g in · 34 g out · 30 s · 93 °C

Grind 18.4 g fine enough that the first drops take five seconds to appear, and distribute before you tamp.
Pull to 34 g in 30 seconds. If it runs fast it will taste thin and sour; if it chokes, coarsen by a hair and pull again.
Serve in the bowl without waiting.
The ring is set on at the pass, not poured — there is no steamed milk in this one, so it is drawn in the foam with a pick.
