Cup profile
- Very sweet and syrupy with a kick of acidity, though less clear than an EK43. More fines and a narrow boulder range make it forgiving 0:00 9:56.
Strengths
- Retention of 0.1 to 0.2 g, the dial doesn't drift, and shots 5 to 8 s off target still taste good 0:00.
Weaknesses
- The hopper is huge for single dosing, and the grind isn't unimodal 0:00.
Verdict
2022: sweet, body-forward and easy to dial in 0:00.
