Gails Morning Pour Over Routine | SCG at Home 

I love Gail's down to earth approach. Coffee brewing should be casual and relaxing, not intimidating!

Gail is on top five people I want to have a beer with. I don't even like coffee but can't stop watching these videos.

Would love to have a tour of your RV.

Yeeeei, cheers Gail, good to see u safe and sound. You are my favourite barista in Seattle coffee. I really like you, you are very charming and I learn a lot from you. Cheers and hugs from Baja Mexico

Good to see you again Gail. Glad you are staying safe. :) After years of espresso based drinks, I've gone back to pour over since the lock down. I purchased a Hario glass dripper from SCG last month to use with my mahogany drip stand. There's something very peaceful and therapeutic about watching the flow. It's also so smooth and comforting. :)

The best part about this quarantine is all the time I have to use my chemex and get better at it. Cheers

What is Gail's cocktail of choice when the sun goes down? I'm going to guess she drinks a Manhattan. Go off script during quarantine and make us a cocktail, I for one could use a happy hour with Gail...

We've got to see the rest of that RV. No joke. That little kitchen looks great.

Hi Gail! Good morning! My morning coffee routine is the most important time of my day. Thank you for sharing yours. I can always use more ideas. 😀☕️

Gail, I’m rather surprised but pleased that you’re still around. I know you’re retired but I always enjoy your escapades with coffee. Best wishes. Stay well. Stay safe.

Good to see you again Gail! Glad you decided to stay put! Stay safe and healthy!

we miss you gails

Gail is by far my favorite. Everyone else is still awesome but Gail is just next level genuine

Aeropress is my go to. I’ve also been playing with making Turkish coffee.

Yes! Be safe and healthy!

Using my brand new Barista Express. Loving it and learning through practice. Keep safe!

Love, love my coffee. I typically rotate between 3 different Blue Bottle fresh roasted coffees and make them using my Breville Barista Express, a Bonavita 1900 auto-drip, Kalita Pour Over, Chemex and French Press. Each brewing methods brings out slightly different notes from the coffee which I love to explore. Gail thanks for doing these videos with your team. Stay safe.

Working from home here in Denmark since March 12. That means drinking a lot more coffee as it’s better than what I would have at the office. For convenience I’m using the Nespresso Essenza mini and steaming my milk for my latte on the Sage (Breville) Barista Express.

We love Gail please stay safe

My daily brewer is the Aeropress. Once in a while, I'll bring out the moka pot.

Pour over is my absolute favorite method of brewing coffee.

Love you Gail you rock!

How about a tour of the RV Gail? ☺️

I have been loving using my JURA E8 for my morning coffee and an afternoon Flat White.

My daily brew is with a simple melitta pour over. It’s always a smooth cup.

I used to buy Chameleon coffee (a concentrate in a jar) and drink it straight but since limited shopping in mid- March (when the virus really kicked in) I googled cold brew and saw one of your videos on cold brewing and I now make my own. I got a 51 once Bodum french press, one of those fancy water purification pitchers and 5lb bags of Brooklyn Coffee french roast (which I have to grind, no big deal) I let it sit for 24 hours and then store it in a glass milk bottle, its right there in the morning & is sooo good! really rich and flavorful, never going back to store bought, thanks for your videos!

Gail, whos holding the camera!!!???? I'm glad youre safe! Youre a national treasure!

Nice RV from what we can see of it! Glad you are with family. Best wishes for you to get back home. As for me, I get my beans from a Houston outfit call Java Pura. Excellent beans, including decaf (I can only drink half-caf and decaf, boo-hoo). I make my coffee with an Aeropress or OXO pour-over. I subscribed to this channel long ago because of Gail's videos. Thanks Gail!

Hi Gail! I. Glad your safe in your RV. I love my Chemex which I learned how to use from you. I’m no expert but on weekends I enjoy the whole experience of my Chemex. Stay safe.

I just started watching so I know there is a huge backlog of your wisdom and humor ahead. CEO is a big job, I'm sure there is more ahead for you that might be a little less stressful. How about a new Gail channel reviewing North America's coffee houses as you travel around in your beautiful RV? Whatever it is, may you enjoy the calm before the next big adventure!

I have a Techiworm that tried and true for all my brewing needs. I should branch out to my French press and Bialetti though. I also love good, farm fresh half and half and sugar in my coffee too.

We so need an RV tour and a tow vehicle tour. :)

Keep safe and thanks for sharing your mobile setup. We have an RV as well and Coffee is a very important part of my morning. And thank you to you and all the staff for the great videos and service.

Gail, If I had to wait that long in the morning to get my first cup of coffee I'd be ripping the doors off my cupboards and grinding the beans with my bare hands... Thank goodness for auto timers... lol

EVERYONE LOVES GAIL

Gail could make me a cup of coffee any day ....it looks so good ! ☕

*Sees the RAM car keys. Gail you are wild, I love RAMs.

Cheers Gail, that coffee Sounds 👍 good. Ciao.

I'm rocking the chemex funnex for single use and my v60 size 02 with craft when I want to make 5 cups.

I have a Hario V60 for pour over. I also use a Breville Precision brewer for both pour over and drip. I like medium roasts and use about a 1:16.6 coffee to water ratio. Baratza Virtuoso + bean grinder. Thanks for the vid.

I love your approach. I make it like you, 26 grams for two cups for my wife in a Kalita glass pour over. She loves it! (I drink English breakfast tea)

Gail I enjoy watching your videos! I purchased a Breville Barista Express for quarantine and followed several of your tips for making a good espresso and late. Thanks!!

Wishing you the best for you! We love your videos and can't wait to save some money and purchase a good quality grinder and the apartamento from you! 😁

Thanks Gail, and good morning...

I've been doing a lot of v60 recently.. but literally today I got a Flair Pro 2! so I've got home espresso coming soon! I'm very excited. stay safe!

Hi Gail, thanks for your video. We are home isolating with our Delonghi Compact which we choose based on watching your videos. Stay safe. Cheers from Victoria Australia.

Long life gails.. been watching your videos years ago and when I Iearned that you've quite, I felt sad. I had learnd a lot from you. Enjoy your retirement and greeting from Saudi

thanks for sharing and stay safe!

Just ordered the Acaia scale from you guys. Pretty excited about it.

Espresso,pour over with V60,Kalita Wave,Chemex with paper or Able Kone,Beehouse,Walküre Karlsbader or Woodneck and french press. Depends on the coffee I have and/or in what mood I'm in. I've had great results with all of these devices but the best cups I've had are with the V60 or Woodneck. High grown floral Colombian coffees have also been great with the Chemex with paper.

Hi Gail! Where did you store that Rocket?

Be safe! My daily brew is made with either my Bunn Drip Maker, or my Behmor Brazen. I grind my beans with a Breville Smart Pro Grinder. Hope you are enjoying your adventure.

13g! I feel like a glutton with my 18g (I used to do 22g). I love the RV videos. I upgraded to a better burr grinder about a month ago so have been using the Encore. 18g coffee, 288g water; around setting 10 on the Encore using the Able Kone filter for the Chemex. Took some tinkering, but I like the taste and silt-level with this grind setting.

I love pour over coffee, but it is the very last thing I would want to do at 6am while freaking out about my physics exams that are about to destroy me.

Gail! I just picked up a Bambino pro from SCG and my wife loves it!

Hi Gail you should have your own channel your amazing.

Daily brew is with my Cuisinart drip brewer, using Lavazza Crema E Aroma beans ground in my Capresso grinder. If i want something special, i pull out the Breville DuoTemp Pro....and make a cappuccino!

Roast my own and use my old stove top percolator...coffee costs me 5.00 per pound and roasted how I like...also use Moka pot and pour over.. also do French press

Daily brewing in the Breville Precision Brewer. I'm drinking more coffee than ever now. :)

thanks for sharing your morning coffee routine, i’ve loved it! I usually start my morning with a small cup of coffee. it was a bit stupid of me to buy a v60 in size 01, I wish I had bought a bigger one. but I still enjoy the brewing process and the taste very much though

Hi from the other side of the Atlantic, here in the UK the coffee culture has taken a massive hit ,that much so the dairys that supply the largest coffee shop chain have been pouring milk due for processsing down the drain cos of maxium supply . I have a sage bambino or as you sell it breville , for making my latte , love the rapid heating of the water and the pre set milk steaming wond.keep the vlogs coming and keep safe

Stay safe! Always a friendly face to wake up to! Out of curiosity, what brand and model of RV do you have? Might be another sales outlet for SCG?? :-)

You bring up an excellent issue Gail for those in small apts and RVs, conservation of space and utilizing items that are multi-purpose (which cannot always be done). This said, isn’t there a prosumer level compact burr grinder that easily switches between 2 or more settings (espresso and pour over). The Rocket Appartamento seems perfect due to its size and the Hario type pour over system takes up little space. PS What type, make, and model RV do you have? What state did you retreat to (NM, AZ?)? Stay safe and enjoy your morning cup!

As another RVer, show us you rig.

Thanks Gail, it’s nice to have some normalcy with you during this...

Hi Gail. Haven’t heard from you in awhile. Hope you’re doing well, virus free, and vaccinated. Like many fans, I would love a new video or two. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area. - Tim

Haven't checked in on your video's for a long while & I like this out of studio material. Good coffee takes time & that's part of the deal. Curious to know what you have to accompany your breakfast coffee while in your RV? Is it pancakes, eggs & bacon or toasted breaded? Continued good health & great tasting coffee.

I am using my good-old Solis SL-70 bought from you guys back in 2007 (13 years and going!!!). Occasionally switch to a Bialetti moka pot or cold brew. I regret leaving my V60 and the bonavita in my office :( .

Melitta pourover in the morning (ceramic filter holder). Early afternoon latte, cappuccino or affogato via Barista Express which we love. Goditi il ​​tuo caffè!

SCG: Arizona Branch

Moccamaster daily for the household, if it’s just me I’ll aeropress and if I’m desperate for a cafe style drink I’ll do a mokapot and bootleg some foam

I’m stuck with a Nespresso, my brésille dual boiler is in storage in New Zealand for when I get home 😜 also TIL what temperature water boils at in Fahrenheit.

Morning Gail! Thanks for the video. Stay healthy and safe! Any thoughts on the Kalita vs Vario?

I've been getting my v60 technique down, also got the Fellow dripper to tinker with now

Nice to see you Gail, I Brew with my Bonavita 5 cup. I first brew water in Bonavita gooseneck electric kettle, pour 205 degree water into the coffee pot carafe and my mug. Then pour out the water and brew my freshly ground coffee and then pour into my very hot mug. Lots of work for a great cup of ☕.

thank you!

I use a kalita wave 155 but kinda struggle with it. It clogs sometimes but might be due to my grind size. I usually do 23g, 375ml but might try smaller next time. Last coffee (Brazilian) was thin tasting. Flavor not quite there

Thank your partner for view of the mountains @9:30 mark. Please use sunscreen out there! (Found Terry makes long sleeved spf50 tops that are made for hot weather. )

Morning espresso, now morning pour over. Gail drinks a lot of coffee in the morning

Wasn't sure in the last video, but I am now. WILL YOU MARRY ME GAIL? 💚😂 BTW I have a forty year old two group WEGA from Italy at home. 🇮🇹

I’m using the Delonghi La Specialista using Campos Superior Blend, really really nice smooth coffee when you get the grind dialed in just right but dam does it taste terrible when you get it wrong.

I use the Kalita too!

Moka is primary but NS Elli then French press. Miss you Gail.

I use the Moka pot and to me it’s the best coffee that I drink

Hi gail, I have the sage duo temp pro and sage grinder, but my coffee is always bitter even tho i have my ratios right and used many different types of coffee. Any tips would be welcome. Good to see you safe and well, in the UK we are starting our 5 week of isolation and getting coffee is more difficult, well fresh anyway. Stay safe and i will see you soon in your next vid.😎

It looks like having the right grinder is important(?)

I am juggling back and forth with the Silvia and the pour over. Just an intervention. if you're eyeballing the water, why are you so critical about the 13g of coffee in? :)

Hi Gail, great routine im the same way I float to my coffee bar in the morning. Thoughts on the IZzo VIVI Pid?

Graat Vids as Usual

Hello Gail, I just bought Breville BCG820BSSXL The Smart Grinder Pro and was wondering what espresso machine would be a good match? Budget is 100-350. Any suggestions and videos I can watch? thank you and love the videos. Keep your team safe.

For me, French press in the morning (don't want to wake up the whole house with the racket of the Breville machine), then espresso in the afternoon. I use a manual grinder for the French press. This way, it is a lot less noisy, and I don't have to muck around with the espresso setting on the Breville grinder). I put table cream in my tea and coffee, because half-and-half dilutes too much for my taste. Really want to try pour over sometime. BTW, what's your RV's model? I really like the kitchen space with that coffee counter.

love your videos :)

Could someone at SCG please do a comparison of cone and Chemex?

Why do you wet the filter before the water is boiling? Is that necessary?

Bialetti elite brikka moka for me and a Severin milk frother, sometimes the french press comes out but doesn't pack the same punch. Would love an espresso machine but cost prohibitave and large for counter. Curious about pour over but haven't tried... Thank you for the videos Gail

Hi Gails, I was watching your reviews from 2 years to find the best coffee machine to start a cafe shop, But for the money reasons i delayed my project, Now may you please name few best automatic coffee machines that i may use in my future cafe after this virus ?

I want an RV tour? Please

Gail, where is she? I don't see any videos from 2021. :(

Gail, Hang in there. BTW, what Grinder are you using here? Thanks, G.

Hi Gail! Help! My wife & I are both working from home in STL during the COVID-19 situation. My wife loves her lattes, and we needed an espresso machine to make it through... after watching a ton of your videos, we went with the Breville Bambino Plus. Had it for about a week now... we went and got her favorite coffee beans ground to an espresso grind setting at our local grocery. With trial & error, I got the milk steamer to the correct temp and foam, no problem / easy. However, I am struggling with getting the right volume / pressure of grind into the double pressurized basket... the pour comes out uneven and weak tasting? I tried applying more pressure into the tamping and got almost no pour, but when I lightly tamp, it’s too weak? Any suggestions?
