💧 Rinse the paper filter first — seat it in the Omni dripper, pop the dripper off the machine, rinse under the tap in cold water, tip the water out, then re-attach and brew. Washes out any papery taste.

Washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (Heirloom) — floral, tea-like, delicate. Researched recipe (none published for xBloom), rebuilt 2026-07-06 on the Lance Hedrick clarity method, adapted for the xBloom. Ethiopians throw a LOT of fines, so: fewer, gentler pours — bloom + one laminar main pour instead of four — to keep fines out of the cup and the palate clean; a long 80 s bloom to fully off-gas this light roast, at a bigger 60 ml (4× dose) so it actually saturates the bed (the xBloom can't hand-swirl a stingy bloom); temp pulled back to 93 → 92 °C (95 creeps roasty even on lights); a touch coarser (56 → 57) to shed fines; and a wider 1:17 ratio to lean into the light, complex, floral-tea character. Max RPM for the florals. Confirmed 2026-07-06 (14 days off roast) — tastes good, brew landed at ~3:00, right in the target window.

Off? one change at a time: Sour/quiet → grind finer (57→54) or lengthen the bloom. Bitter/astringent → coarser (57→60) or the main pour at 91 °C. Keep pours gentle — it's fines-heavy.

Japanese flash brew: ~85 g ice in the carafe, brew the 1:10 concentrate (150 ml) onto it — Yirgacheffe is the classic iced coffee, its jasmine, peach and black tea singing over ice. Grind a touch finer than the hot recipe (56 → 54). Let the bag rest ~7–10 days off roast first. Draft — dial after the first pour.
