Coffee "earth" notes

On Day 7 & Day 8 (post roast), both days---first drip came out at 4 seconds--pretty fast & blonding (or what appeared to be blonding from the get-go). Made me nervous as I used to look at blonding when you need to turn your machine off or it will be pure sour. I let it go though for
