Wow, what a great pull of Hairbender I just pulled at home. I figured I would share this, as Hairbender has gotten a bad rap lately, with the change in roast profile. My results at the local cafe that serves it have been mediocre too. These beans are 5 days old, pull was around 26 seconds for just under 1.5oz. The pull was heavy in chocolate and body, hint of butter and nuts. No citrus or bright notes, just a heavy, dark, smooth pull. Extraction becoming visible after around 4-5 seconds (Click for larger image)

What basket were you using to pull that beauty?

A ridge-less 58mm double basket. Probably around 20 to 20.5g of coffee in there.
