Blend on low speed and gradually increase to high until grounds are pulverized
Extract the coffee flavor at room temperature for 1d
Pour oil through fine sieve just until the sediment starts to come out. The coffee oil is ready
Remove a potato from vessel and check the pH. The pH should be under 4, preferably between 3.2-3.9. If it does not reach the desired pH, ferment for 1 more day under the same conditions
If you do not have a pH reader, you can taste the potatoes. The umami should be pronounced with a pleasant acidity. If there are green or black growths or if it smells off, do not consume
