I don't think I like Dak milky cake.

I just wanted to try the bean to konw what is going on here and what is the hype. So I bought a bag, have rested it for a month, and cracked it open.

B75, kalita wave filter, 93C , 1:16, zp6 4.5, 10parts of water for brewing and 6 parts for bypass. 4 separated pour, tried my best not to have agitation.

I tasted the exactly the same profile on the bag, except honey. But the thing is astringency. I feel strong astringency persist for tens of minutes in my mouth.

I assumed I should have minimum astringency from my cup because I used zp6, weak agitation, and bypass water.

Actually I did not know Milky cake share the same green bean with buttercream from september. So I actually regret because I could not enjoy the Buttercream, to be honest. But Buttercream didn't have such strong astringency.

Am I brewing wrong? I will try coarser grind and lower temp tomorrow so that I can at least get drinkable coffee.
