I've landed on a similar recipe with bloom and 2 pours. Got a bit strong today with finer grinds but tasted nicely with bypass. Then went coarser and was more balanced strength but had astringency. I've been thinking of dialing in an equal 3 pours (no bloom) recipe with around 10 s to 13 s between the pours. The early water should extract less than after a bloom similarly to bypass. Could maybe make less strong without astringency?
@@SimonAndrewCoffeeI tried 3 equal pours no bloom and the brew is much more balanced in terms of sweetness and acidity than bloom 2x into 2 equal pours with 15 s between. Even though the three pours (without bloom) tasted quite bitter I sipped it up quickly. Will adjust grind or lower temp of last pour. I think astringency was low and balanced between acidity and sweetness was great. Not too strong either. 250 g water 16.5:1 3 pulses, 10 s wait 92c, 92c, 90c TBT 2:20 Melitta 1x4 paper (cut to fit)
Nice. Shows so well how adjustable the Aiden is. Really enjoying tweaking my brews as well. Thx.

I haven’t made a great cup with 3 pours yet. Will test it again and share my results when I get it right.
