Did your black metal v60 paint start chipping off? It’s the best looking v60, but I’m apprehensive about buying it due to negative reviews about the paint.
So funny story, we are a retailer of Hario products. This metal black Hario v60 in the video is my personal unit but we have been selling hundreds of them for that last 4 years. Out of all these orders we had 1 unit that had chipped paint. We obviously swapped out that defective v60 for one that didn't have any paint scratching off. From my experience this seems to be an issue with how the coating was applied, the defective unit was already chipping in the box and this doesn't seem to be an issue around wear and tear. I hope this helps :)
@@TheBasicBarista That does help, thank you! Sounds like some people got defective units and wrote reviews about it, at least when I looked on Amazon. I think I will go buy one because it looks so nice. Just realized you guys are from Australia. My dad was from there, and moved here to America where I was born. Hope you guys are doing good.
I use Cafflano Kompresso with 54mm basket (UNITONE)... But the espresso is always sour.............. I use WDT and hard tamping by fingers Arabica (> 10days after roast) medium roasted 200um (microns) 13 g 60 ml water 95 temp 30-60 seconds 30 ml out
I have had this grinder for a couple years now and love it and see no reason for further upgrading. I do 23 clicks for medium to dark roast(fresh) in my V60 and 15 for Aeropress. Still tweaking for Moka pot.
15g coffee and 225g water (1:15 Ratio) You might be interested in an article we wrote for 3 different recipes on the switch: thebasicbarista.com/blogs/topics/4-recipes-to-try-on-your-hario-v60-switch-dripper Let me know your thoughts :)
Nice! I actually went throught something similar for a period of time. I wasn't able to have acidic coffee and it was so sad (for me) but one thing I should mention is that coffee beans you are using will have a huge impact on the level of acidity compared to the brewer. Hope this helps :)
Basal makes a nice product, but they are always on the high end price wise. Been fusing around myself with a travel setup and finally decided that there is no one, total package. Aeropress works, Hario V60 works but has an accumulation of gear. Aeropress is a much simpler setup and a decent grinder can store inside the allowing more spaces for other items, or more coffee. Goof info, though,
Hey Michael, cheers for watching my video. Yeah I 100% agree, to add to your point I find that AeroPress being an immersion brewer is more forgiving with coffee. No one is brewing comp coffee on the go and if you were you would need a suitcase of gear hahaha. What grinder and gear are you bringing with your AeroPress?
hmm I'm not sure how this is possible as the ice melts over time slowly diluting the coffee ... I think your brew may have broken physics. Jokes aside, try grinding a little finer to increase the water - coffee contact time.
out of the 3 drippers you mentioned my favourite is the metal V60 with the matte black coating. I found that this dripper has a similar heat retention the plastic coffee dripper and a better filter - dripper interaction. I also included a link below to the dripper ... Hope this helps :) thebasicbarista.com/products/v60-dripper-matte-black-metal
Oh yeah! You sure did pour that water! I'm gonna need help picking my jaw up off the floor! This is AMAZINGGGGGGGGG. You are the Michael Jordan of tilting your wrist 15 degrees and moving your hand in an anticlockwise spiral! No, not MJ - HULK HOGAN! HH BROTHER! I mean, holy FUCK! This is not LIKE a boss - noooo, this IS the boss! Bruce fuckin Sporgenstein, step aside! I will watch this literally 733 times. Not even kidding. I actually think I just came a little bit, tbh. And when I say a little bit, I actually mean a LOT. Ropes. Cream on the ceiling. I'm going to need a new Swiffer after this cleanup job. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for this. You have literally changed my life and my entire perspective on reality and the meaning of human existence.
How is the experience holding this cup? I know origami offers other beautiful mugs with handles, as I'm afraid that this one would be too hot to hold after pouring.
It's actually not to hot to hold the origami server. In regards to the Origami Pinot cup however, I am more so of a fan of the White cup as it has a smoother exterior surface :) (and no it doesn't heat up too much either as there rly isn't much coffee in it and the ceramic is thick enough to insulate it. Hope this helps!
When answering the question of whether this grinder is still recommended today, the most essential information is missing... How has the competition developed and is the grinder still objectively better than other models, such as those from 1zpresso? As you said, the changes to the grinder were very minimal. This is not answered here at all but old hymns of praise from many years ago are repeated, I don't see the point of this video unless it was planned as an advertising statement. I think enough has already been said about the music.

Hey, i have just bought this exact variant and unsure about selecting the right grind size. When you turn the knob, the entire module moves! Can you please help
Μetal&copper v60s are the worst.. Material n color soon fades out n you have it in your taste from both(metal&copper)simple plastic is much better, or ceramic😉😉😉
this is PCT Resin, a material commonly used in water bottles and microwave containers as it has a high heat resistance and is BPA free. Hario wouldn’t use a material that isn’t suitable, or is going to leach micro plastics!!!
Add a pinch of salt into the water that you're using to brew the coffee. It suppresses the bitterness, enhances the coffee flavor, and interacts with the phenolic compounds reducing the overall bitter taste.
@@TheBasicBarista you're very welcome, and if you ever want to taste the best coffee in your life- order you some Ethiopia Danche from heart roasters. Just spreading the love ❤
There really is no getting around wasting a bit of coffee to get it dialed in and brewed just right! Often, a less than optimal brew can still be pretty enjoyable - most of the coffees I buy are lighter roasted higher altitude coffees, so, most often only slight adjustments need to be made - however, now and again, especially with some funkier processes, such as anerobic, it might take five or six brews before I get it just the way I like it!!
try around 110 clicks, really nice for 1 cup v60. Also you should remove the black o-ring and add the white one, then you dont have to keep the lid and handle seperate ;)
