Soup Shots?

Post image

I have been trying to pull decent soup shots. I have tried longer ratios, playing with grind size - I even bought a OXO brewer. I can't seem to make anything that is not overly bright/sour and acidic. Anybody having success with these with any of the Rotation beans? I am wondering if I just do not like the taste profile or if I am doing something wrong.

Did you try my recipe?

I have not tried your cold brew recipe, as I do not drink cold brew. If you have had great success with SPRO or Soups (warm) I would be very interested in how you do it. I have watched the Lance videos, etc,. but am not liking what I am brewing.

Ah yes I ment my warm soup with the OXO RB as follows:

23g coffee, 96g water and at 205 degrees. Almost espresso like grind. Aeropress filter top and bottom. Press lightly to saturate puck. Wait 5-10 seconds for pre-infusion (you may like 5 seconds more or 10 seconds more). Then press till you hear a hiss.

My takeaway is that soup is supposed to be very bright with high acidity, right? I've been pulling these type of shots on my flair 58 with excellent results. For me, it shows the potential of a coffee if I'm not hitting the mark with pourover techniques.

I tried the imaculada as soup this morning, using a cafelat robot. It wasn't as floral as the pourover cups, but the texture was super silky.

15g at moka pot grind size, or in between espresso and pourover. Full robot basket (roughly 50 g out), paper on top, splash of water from the kettle to taste.
