I love your story. I disliked coffee all of my life. But that all changed about a year and a half ago when I discovered specialty coffees. I've covered a lot of ground since then. Now I'm wayyyy down the rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing. I like your Channel.
I appreciate it! Yes, coffee is something amazing. Especially with the right coffee. I'm glad that you have discovered specialty coffee. Yeah, going down the rabbit hole doesn't get better, lol. Well, as long as you are discovering and chasing a good cup of coffee, that is all that matters! Thank you for your kind words!
My NewlukPro arrives next Tuesday! My first 'real' grinder. l selected this one since there is no plastic parts involved in the device. This is the episode l have be waiting for! Advice for a grinder.
I'm glad it was helpful! Yeah. It will make a world of a difference. I think the coffees you have will excite you even more! It has for me in the past couple of days with this Kingrinder. I know Tuesday is a long wait! Keep me posted on how it works out for you!
l just pulled the trigger on my 1st manual grinder last night. The 35 gram capacity "NewlukPro Manual Coffee Grinder" in 'silver'. off of The AMAZON. Don't like the idea of paint wearing off over time so l bought the plain one. l have 'bean' using electric spice grinders for decades & as you know they are not optimum for grinding beans. l wanted a hand grinder to use with my new, never used yet 1 litre stainless steel Belwares French Press Coffee Maker - 34 oz, also off of The AMAZON. l want a consistant grind to my beans before l use that device. l'm a man of means by no means, but l do love a good coffee. Great vid, as always!
That is nice! Let me know how that grinder works out for you. I also pulled a trigger on the Kin Grinder. It was 70 bucks on Amazon. And people are talking about it so I thought it would be a good idea to see what it is all about and also if I believe it will be helpful to you all. But yeah, that is the thing about this coffee thing. We play this game of how much we can justify spending on coffee gear. But as long as it helps us in our daily "grind", than it is worth it!
ive been drinking coffee for several years I swear ive gone through 10 different machines their is something wrong with each of them this one was the one I hated most
10 different machines…the same Mr coffee machine? Or coffee machines in general? So far my experience has been mostly good but it doesn’t work well for lighter roasted coffees. Which coffee machine is your favorite?
@@everyday-beans so I’ve tried more modern mr coffees the issue with those is the lid opens sideways so something’s water from steam leaks onto counter and when u remove pot some more leaks onto burner The black and deckers I’ve tried have all had faulty thermostats i bet the didn’t even heat pasted 110f I had a proctor silex and it shorted out And I tried a mainstays and the brew head melted as well as the front of it next to the warming plate The coffee maker that I know will be good is a Braun aeromaster to bad it was discontinued in 2005
Yes. I totally see where you are coming from. The basket and lid mechanism is weird. I tend to just take it out after a brew and empty the grounds. And yes, the design makes you damage the burner more. Yeah. I’m still on the fence of the actual brew temp of the machine. But I usually dial it in based on the grind setting and seems to extract well. I’m still getting used to the fast draw down but one thing I am understanding about it and all coffee makers is that they all have their pros and cons.

l use the ol' Black & Decker drip pot in our Community Garden 'office'. l mix it up with some Lavazza preground every now and then when the usual supermarket coffee is gone. The crew says it is tasty brewed that way with that coffee. l have to admit, it lS pretty tasty!
Yeah! I believe it’s very possible to get tasty coffee out of these cheap drip machine! As you have already experienced! I do think it’s in the grind and going for a medium to dark roast. From my continued assessment, the temps are still low and the sweet spot will be in a finer grind.
From the start, i got REALLY interested in tea, then i thought, well damn thats expensive, then one day I've decided to finnaly got to a coffee shop ive always encounter on my way home, i said "why not" and ever since then im jumping from shop to shop, but that all changed when I have gone to my first specialty café, I've met awesome people, which led me to much more awesome people. Ever since then I've got this genuine snobbery
That is awesome and funny all at once. Tea was expensive, so you went to tea! Ha ha. That’s cool that the people are the ones that kept you going in the coffee world. It’s great that all of our connections are with people and coffee is the catalyst! Great story! Thanks for sharing.
@@everyday-beans i went to coffee cuz I thought that would be cheaper, what an interesting plot twist have had happened, didn't knew thats its the all opposite, by then on before I've met those great peaple, i have decent equipment, good grinder and a dripper collection, but thats the point where I've discovered that they host the biggest events in my area, some are specialty roasters, café owners, i didn't know that, I've only thought that they are home baristas like me as my friend a.k.a the barista said for me to go there at that specific day, so I've introduced myself and brew with them, got absolutely smashed on coffee, we had so much difference between financial and life status, but only then at that moment, what only matters is. We all like coffee, it's truly wonderful meeting such good caffeinated peaple
Yep. The common likeness/love of coffee is what connects people. Regardless of what we like about coffee. The difference we can fuss and defend our points, but we can learn from each others experiences. And hopefully eventually, we learn other things that we realize that we also have in common about! And it started with coffee!
I was enjoying a coffee in my favorite red cup when your video came on. I made it out of Brazil Sweet Blue coffee beans I got from my favorite roaster. I weighed out 19 grams of it for a double shot first thing and ground it up in my modded Baratza Encore that sounds a lot like your grinder. I only ended up getting 18 grams back this morning which was unusual, but I still dumped it in a portafilter, gave it a stir with a WDT tool, and spun a coffee distributor over top. I choose not to tamp the coffee. I've been skipping that step more often than not lately. I put the portafilter back in the espresso machine and ran it until I had 44 grams in my cup. It took a bit longer today than I figured for a slight underdose, around 50 seconds. Not my best pour, but it still looked thick, caramelly, and delicious. Normally I would just top it up the cup with hot water and enjoy an Americano, but lately I've been liking the taste of a cold lattes in the morning due to the summer heat, so I poured a drizzle of maple syrup in the espresso, swirled it around, and topped it up with cold milk. Drinking coffee is one the few things in my life that causes regular appreciation and self-reflection, and so I'm glad to see your video this morning and share that same sort of mindset with someone else for a change.
That is great to read! It's true, preparing coffee in the morning really does help. Alot! It is also cool that even though your brew didn't go to normal, it was still enjoyable. I have to keep telling myself that from time to time. Question, modded Baratza? Please tell me more!!!!
@@everyday-beans I had my Baratza Encore before I bought an Espresso machine so I had to modify it for my new workflow. There are two mods I know of, one is a stepless grind adjustment. There is a small piece of plastic you can remove that causes the clicks at each grind setting. You can search for "stepless mod" to find more details on how to do it, but it allows for finer adjustments. The other mod was to recalibrate the burr set. There's a tiny adjustment screw on the bottom of the burr set that lets you recalibrate the Encore to grind finer. Both those mods make the grinder Espresso capable, but Baratza now makes an Espresso version of the same grinder that is still capable of drip, which is nice so you really don't need to do that anymore unless you're cheap like me and don't want to buy a new grinder.
That is great! I did find the stepless mod. The other mod seems intriguing. I'm curious to see how the finer grind will compare to my dedicated Espresso grinder. I appreciate the insight!
Looking delicious. Trying to find the simplest most delicious way to brew our (my husband and my) dark roast coffee on the road! We love dark, strong coffee! We love espresso, in Americano form. I have a regular cuisinart coffee maker that I have learned to make good coffee on, but too big to take with us, and I’d prefer to use/do something that I can make with hot water on our propane stove..French Press? Pour over? And we each like to have/drink a 12 oz cup at a time. Coffee is definitely worth effort, but the less the best… 🙃 Any ideas?🙏🏻
Hello! I would say the best tool for the job for simple is the French Press. Super easy to use and clean up. Are you all drinking the coffee black and/or with additions? A Moka Pot can probably be the solution, especially if you have access to a propane stove on the road.
@@ottohome Great! Yes, either the Moka Pot or French Press should work out perfectly. The Moka Pot will actually produce a more robust, stronger taste than the French Press. You are welcome!
Enjoying a 100% Robusta today from WAKEY Coffee out of Vietnam in a Mellita pour over single serve. l got it from Canadian AMAZON a while back. Recently got a 12 cup lMUSA moka pot too.. l haven't tried it yet l will break it in next weekend with the WAKEY coffee.
@@everyday-beans lt's more 'chocolate' with raisins mixed in there too is the best way l can describe it. Someone with a trained palate would find better ways to describe it l'm sure.
@@old-fashionedcoughypot That is great that it's tasting good and more importantly, you are enjoying it! I'm curious to see how it will be on your moka pot! Keep me posted.
I always get decaf. I always though it had to have somw rype of caffeine because it is coffee. Lord knows i dont need caffeinated beverages 😊. Do green coffee please
Your channel will grow 🪴. I love coffee ☕. Some instant coffee, ice and liquid creamer with ice. Blend! I have to not buy ice ao that i dont make it 😂. I subbed. Keep up the good work 👏🏾💖✨. I 👁️ you
Oh my god! I love the switch! Its an immersion and percolation all in one! You can retain more aroma by immersion and get the clarity of the percolation!
Yes! I’ve tried the Aeropress. I have one in my line up. It is not one of my favorite brewers mainly perhaps because of the immersion part of it. What do you like about the aeropress? You are welcome!
The thing I've wondered about blooms, that had me clicking into the video, is: Do they matter for immersion brewing methods? These days, I'm using mostly Aeropress, or Hario Switch, both of which have an immersion phase. I see folks recommending blooming those, too. And I wonder: Does it actually serve a purpose, when the grounds are going to be left immersed for minutes before draining? Is there something the bloom is doing that soaking won't also do? It did jump out at me how "pebbly" the coffee beds looked in your 3 V60s. The last coffee video I was watching before this one was the recent one from James Hoffman, where he compares a cheap-but-well-reputed hand grinder to an even-cheaper one and a more expensive one. And that guy has all the kit. He takes the grounds from each grinder to a particle size analyzer, and he's confused at first, because the mid-priced grinder that's performing almost as well as the high-price grinder is producing a ton more fines. And he's expecting that to throw off the brew, make it more over-extracted. But the good thing he notes about the mid-price grinder is it also really avoids the big chunks of barely-cracked coffee. So in the end he was speculating that maybe excess fines in the grind aren't as bad for flavor as he'd thought, and that avoiding big chunks was more important. With that thought in mind, from having watched y'all's two videos close together, I have to wonder what would happen if you repeated the experiment with a finer grind setting. Not an espresso grind, but not as chunky as what you were showing, either. Edit: Adding a link to the Hoffman video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EPbVUR6Y83k.html
You bring up a very good point about immersion brewing methods. I don't think it matters that much. I will, in the future, do a video on how immersion brew contact time plays a role in extraction and do it in a way where I base it off of time. But I would also think that after awhile, I would assume that with flavor, it will be a law of diminishing returns because I could see that the flavors with longer brews may become bitter. But I'll keep you posted on when I do that video. I do feel though, with my limited uses of the Hario Switch, it does really well with providing extraction with the hold function and then of course finishing up the brew with one to two or however many pours you may have with your recipe. I will also try with a finer grind, too. That will be interesting to see if it is alittle more consistent with extractions. You got me thinking, I may play around with this on my EK 43. That will tell more of a story. I don't want to compare my daily Baratza grinder with the EK 43 that is mainly used for batch ground coffee orders. But that will bring an interesting take and produce fines that are more consistent! Yeah, I'm not going down that rabbit hole as James Hoffman has with the particle size analyzer. But I think having the tools that I have, I believe I can provide something to all of you all, if it helps any. If there are any other experiments you can think of, send them my way and I will start from there. I will be touching on the Hario Switch in the next couple of videos. I think that brewer is truly a game changer in any one's coffee journey.
The music in this video is a little too loud. Your mic is also very directional, so the vox audio drops a bit when you turn away. Hopefully constructive feedback; Nothing but love for what you're doing. I'm sensitive to caffeine it's always encroanging to see people trying to get decaf out there.
I truly appreciate all of the constructive feedback! I will take all that you are saying and continue to work on video and audio quality! My goal every time is to get alittle better and the improvement happens alot faster when I get it from other people! When you drink coffee, do you do half and half or just decaf?
I wonder how much of this is just a function of how long the coffee is interacting with the water. The longer you bloom the more time there is for things to disolve into the water. I wonder if doing a bloom, then pouring half your water and waiting again. Like a... "mid bloom"? would do anything. Might just get over extracted coffee? Waiting for a french press and grinder to show up myself lol.
Yes. I believe it's more about the longer time than anything. It did increase the extraction, which makes sense. I'm going to try that mid bloom approach this morning and see how much that does something with the extraction compared to the 30 sec bloom. I will try it on the Hario V60 switch, where I can easily isolate things and report back. What kind of experiments will you be doing with your french press!?
@SaintBrick I just did the experiment! The brewing recipe that you mentioned ("mid bloom") measured a TDS of 1.33 and the 30 sec bloom measured a 1.39. So the bloom still produced a higher extraction. Yes. I believe that is the case, the longer it has time with the coffee, it extracts more.
Yes. So very true. I will have to agree the beginning is rough with the jump cuts. I appreciate the feedback. I'll work on that. Any other pointers are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
hey good evening. My name is Brandon. I saw your podcast on RU-vid “EveryDay Beans”. I see that you put a lot of work into it, but unfortunately few people watch your videos. And I want to change that. I want more people to watch your videos and for your moment to become big. I would like to help you with that. There are some costs involved. Let me know if you’re interested. And then we can discuss further what I can do for you

ı have very strong coffe 230 mg caffeine in 10 grams ı usualy use 18 grams on my 1 cup 350ml but for this how much shoud ı use ı think 80 grams is too much it says 20 gram - 350ml for cold brew
If you are using stronger coffee that's high on caffeine, I suggest you use the 80 grams of coffee to 800 grams of water. If that is still too strong, you can dilute it with water afterwards. Or do 80 grams of coffee to 1 liter of water (you may or may not have to still dilute it to taste). Try that out and let me know how it works.
For sure! It’s one of the cheapest and rewarding things you can make for yourself and can modify it to your own strength. Let me know if you give it a go!
@@everyday-beans oh, Im a pour over guy, not much into espresso, im just interested by you beautiful videos, the quality that goes in it is insane!, thanks for the question, but i do not own an espresso machine sadly.
@@sheanakale9502 I appreciate the kind words! I’m also a pour over guy too. It’s the thing that really gets me going in coffee. I’ll be doing some future videos on some of my favorites soon. What’s your favorite pour over brewer?
The French Press does not get enough love these days. I tell people again and again, it's one of the best brews you can get. But why do I use it? Because it's relaxing. I like an excuse to grind coarser, it also looks good on the table, the pressing action is satisfying and I can make coffee for 2-3 people if I need to. The ritual of making coffee is as important as the taste of the coffee itself and the French Press is very low stress and I feel less pressure on myself to "get it right". With good method, the results from the French Press are just astounding. Personally I appreciate the soft texture of French Press coffee, and you're right it does blend the notes together but I like that. At home everyday, I use an Aeropress and a French Press. That's it. That's all I use. And in my experience, the Aeropress has a slightly more stressful ritual but produces very sparkly glistening bright notes from coffee whilst the french press brings out all the low notes in coffee and blends it all together. Both methods equally valid with different results. I think both brewers compliment eachother, I just decide on the day what I feel like using. In a lot of ways its like comparing CD to vinyl.
That’s really cool of your insight and preference. It is very simple to use, it’s just the flavors I get from it aren’t my fav. But you bring up a really good point, an excuse to grind coarser. That gets lost a lot in specialty coffee. And yes, whatever you do, the ritual is just as important as the coffee drinking part. Thanks for your perspective.
