Hello everyone and thanks for your patience.

With the office move, we had a bit of a delay finalising our coffee profiles for this month, but fear not, here they are.

A couple of points to note - we have fixed the EK43 (hurray) but we are using slightly different water this month, which may have a slight effect on the extraction numbers compared to last month.

This month, the coffee profiles span a wide range from Extra Fine to Coarse... and everywhere in between.
