Thanks! I learned a lot from this, as I"m new to Gesha.

[@HoneycombManila]

Glad it was helpful!

Bergamot is from the bergamot orange. It is the main flavor note in Earl Grey tea.

[@HoneycombManila]

This is correct. It's primarily a mediterranean farmed fruit.

Nakakamiss yung Baratza Grinder na yan!

[@HoneycombManila]

Can't get enough of it. Value for money, it's such a winner.

Hi, what size is the twisted glass used in the video? Is it the 120ml or the 180ml? Thanks!

[@HoneycombManila]

I believe it's the cordado, 120

[@masfiqi8074]

Interesting, why u do not use hario switch immersion dripper?

[@HoneycombManila]

it's not temperature stable enough, and loses the benefit of pressurization

[@JayCo-]

Geisha is great

[@HoneycombManila]

I still do not tire of it.

[@kylelopez6219]

What would be the grind size range on the Comandante?😊 Thank you!

[@HoneycombManila]

Not sure, since we don't use a commandante here in the studio. If we end us using one, I shall update this comment.

[@kylelopez6219]

@@HoneycombManila thank you! is the grind size medium fine, medium, medium coarse or coarse though? :)

[@HoneycombManila]

@@kylelopez6219 medium fine to fine.

[@benjamintan3769]

96degC water even for the second pour?

[@HoneycombManila]

Yes, or 91. But we tend to use 96 more often.

[@coffeemoto2781]

[@garystepp1054]

I am not an expert by any means , but doesnt the paper absorb some of the oils of this great coffee that would change flavor and mouthfeel?

[@HoneycombManila]

on the contrary, this coffee is better with clarity, and oils can clog up your ability to taste its more nuanced characteristics

[@risktrader3821]

so its not roasted to its full potential?

[@HoneycombManila]

That's likely. The roaster actually informed us after this video that they tweaked and optimized their roast profile after this was published.
