Does anyone have a recipe for the current version of Hairbender, grams in, grams out and a suggested time

It's better a few years since I've used hair bender. I think it acted pretty normal.

I think I probably did something like this

201-202F

20g in 35g out

25-27 sec if I remember.

My last recipe from maybe 8 months ago was 19.5 gs in, 25gs out in 25 seconds; I got this from stumptown back then

I'm using it now and this is my parameters: 21g, 5 sec preinfusion + 20 - 25 seconds extraction. Bulletproof for me.

Hairbender is still as good as ever, even now that Peet's technically owns Stumptown. I'm extremely thankful that their coffee quality is still great. I'll be crushed if/when all the Intellis and Stumptowns just become rebranded Peets.

Anyways, onto parameters! I didn't find Hairbender to be extremely difficult like some say. A typical 1:2 ratio worked well for me, but I sometimes pushed it 1:2.5.

19.5 grams in to around 40 grams out was a sweet spot for me. The components have likely changed since I used it, but that might be a good starting point. IIRC, I pulled around 25-30 seconds, much beyond that was pretty dry and unbalanced. If you have a PID, I would keep the temp 200 or so.

Honestly though, I would put any previous ratios or recipes out of your mind and start from scratch. The coffees in Hairbender change on a somewhat regular basis AFAIK, so I would just experiment with it and find what works best.
