💧 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 Colombian Geisha (30 h underwater fermentation) — light, clean and tea-bodied. Brewed balanced and tea-like when fresh at grind 56; ~4 weeks off roast (2026-07-06) it read a touch bitter, so nudged one step coarser to 57 (aging tips a coffee toward over-extraction — a small end-of-bag correction). Despite the fancy Geisha name, it drinks approachable and universal — plain, nice and easy: a clean everyday cup that even non-coffee-geeks call "good, like normal coffee," rather than a loud, exotic fruit bomb. A great crowd-pleaser. If you do want a touch more lift, nudge RPM 110 → 120. Variety and process confirmed with the roaster: Geisha, washed.
Off? one change at a time: Muted / wants more aroma → raise RPM (110→120). Sour/thin → finer (57→55). Bitter/drying → coarser (57→59). One lever at a time.

Japanese flash brew: this washed Geisha is delicate and tea-like, so use a bit LESS ice (~80 g) to keep presence; brew the 1:10 concentrate (160 ml) onto it. Grind a touch finer than the hot recipe (56 → 55) and lift RPM to 120 for expression. Refreshing but light-bodied by nature. Draft — dial after the first pour.
Roasted by TESO¶
A Warsaw roaster with a clean, against-the-trend style — very light roasts, mostly washed coffees, and no anaerobics or co-ferments: a terroir-forward cup over trendy fermented lots.
