Agents in Sector 4 (Urban Tundra) report widespread contamination of pour-over technique. Baristas are deploying water below 90°C, producing severe under-extraction and morale loss among civilian caffeine dependents.

Counter-measures:

  1. Confirm kettle temperature before bloom.
  2. Reject any brew that finishes pale and sour within two minutes of contact.
  3. File a target review if the shop cannot state its target brew temperature.

The Bureau of Caffeine Intelligence mandates full-strength extraction in all sectors. Sub-par pour-overs are classified as a wilderness hazard.
