Slayer x Obadiah at LCF: Slayer Espresso V3
Jack Owens · 2.5K views on YouTube
Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
This video demonstrates a brewing technique on a Slayer Espresso V3 machine using Obadiah Coffee. The presenter explains a specific workflow involving a pre-infusion phase followed by a full brew phase to manage extraction.
Inside this video
From Jack Owens:
“I'm going to do this uh a moment 20 25 second pre-infusion and then a 20 second full brew.”
“When the puck starts saturating, you'll see it in the naked portafilter. And when it hits like a couple of grams in the cup, I'm going to switch over to full brew.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.
