Notes

From a video comparing three dose-to-final-drink ratios — 1:13 reads strong but a bit bitter, 1:15 is balanced with soft sweetness (best when using only water), 1:17 turns thin without ice. With ice, split the 1:17 half water, half ice: the ice does not melt all at once, so the glass stays strong while still being a big, refreshing drink. Water to add = dose × ratio − espresso yield. Example beans: Blue in Green's Fruity Blend (Vietnam Catimor + Ethiopia).
