Now THIS Is Ridiculous! Pour Over Coffee feat. Fellow Stagg X 

Wow, thanks for this detailed review and user guide. I've been a dedicated V60 brewer for a little over a year now and really couldn't come up with a reason to try anything else. I love my V60 brews! But your treatment of this brewer and explaining WHY it is your brewer of choice is making me think I need to try this one. Thanks again!

The production quality on your videos is really looking excellent lately!

Your content is second to none. I absolutely love your videos, and the clear passion you guys have for coffee and in producing the best content you can. Every time i come back to this channel I find myself hoping to see a spike in subscribers.

Just found this channel, as a current barista who’s very invested in filter coffee it’s great seeing someone y’all about the Wet Weiss. Just subscribed.

I’m excited to try this method out in the next day or two. I have been avoiding using my Stagg X because brews always seemed more astringent and bitter than the V60 (of course I’ve been basically practicing primary on the V60, so shouldn’t be surprised!). Thank you for sharing this.

Great video Aramse!

Great video as always. Totally agree re wet WDT - I've been using it for a while on the Tricolate and it definitely helps. Also I like your conical filter folding. Again I've been folding filters for my Orea for ages however have never tried the two additional side folds ( I do now have a negotiator and flat filters) However I like the T90 cafec filters so may revisit with your extra folds 👍 Thanks again for all your great info 😜

Thank you. I seem to get the best result and with less coffee beans. Really enjoyed your vid.

The section of the review prior to the brew guide is easily one of the best non-brewing reviews of any coffee product I've seen. The sound bite of the funnel scraping the dosing/catch cup was so well-produced. I've wondered about how I would preheat my Cafelat Robot portafilter, and it's cool to see unintended use cases for products like preheating the Stagg brewer or other components (though I've recently just skipped my normal prep step of pouring boiling water on my Robot portafilter before loading with coffee). I will say I've struggled to produce a brew that's as complete and balanced as a V60 even when trying other recipes like the one from April Coffee. I like that this recipe uses V60 papers and tries to encourage a complete extraction and slower brew times rather than the methods which allow for tons of grounds to be left in the waves on the Fellow papers. Update: I tried the 20g dose version, didn't change the grind setting from what I normally use for V60, and ended up with a bit of a slanted bed that drained around at around 3 minutes total. Even with those caveats, this recipe has resulted in the best coffee I've had from this brewer.

Great video!! Really enjoy it. Could you please give any tips on grind size? I am using Comandante C40 or Ode2

Great brewer, I also use the metal extra's daily! Never tried conical papers, good idea!

Great video! Some great considerations if anyone wants to use the Stagg X: - The base of the Hario Olive Wood V60 actually also fits the bottom of the Stagg X, and makes swirling a much more familiar experience - got this from Jonathan Gagné's blog post about the Stagg X (his blog is great for anyone who hasn't seen it!) - Also from Gagné's post, the use of a tea strainer mesh / flair dispersion screen can sometimes help stalling problems - personally I still found this a little hit or miss, but did see a general improvement - For fitting other filters into the Stagg X, consider the Negotiator tool from Orea - the tool does actually fit pretty well, and can simplify the fitting process for alternative filters - The Cafec Trapezoidal filters will eliminate at least one of the 3 folds used to fit conical filters in the video, so if you like their filtration properties then that might be a nice idea - of course will also benefit workflow-wise from the Negotiator - Consider the Orea V3 as well! I know another commenter already recommended it and it is made out of plastic (I personally don't have an issue with this, but I do have a lot of love for the double walled steel approach), but as someone who initially used the Stagg X before getting my hands on the Orea V3, it really does perform like the Stagg X without the flaws. It's pretty much impossible to clog it, the flow is quite a lot faster which allows you a bit more freedom in grinding finer and experimenting with recipes, the Negotiator tool allows you to perfectly fit pretty much any filter paper you can think of inside, you can buy specially made flat filters to use with the Negotiator to go the no-bypass approach, or even Sibarist flat papers that fit perfectly and have a seriously fast flow. Can't recommend it enough!

Excellent video!

Maestro!!! Bravo, your demeanor in explaining is extremely use friendly☕️ Question, in this video you recommend a 17:1 ratio, is this for traditional /médium roast coffees? How about lighter roasts/ exotic vatietals like Geisha or SL28 etc? Appreciate your input. Keep it up🤠💥

The smallest size melitta-style filters actually fit almost perfectly in the stagg. The kind of filters for the one cup Moccamaster

Yep! Been using StaggX and the v60 filters for a little while now. And I just added WWDT recently, I could immediately tell an improvement in the brew.

This was really interesting. I wonder if the Melitta paper filter could be easier than the V60's to adjust to the Stagg X flat bottom.

Would this work with the stagg xf as well? Amazing quality on video btw!

What is the advantage of increasing extraction with wet WDT over another way of increasing extraction (e.g. finer grind size?). I have only tried wet WDT once (so hardly an expert!) as a replacement for a bloom swirl in a dialed-in coffee. It clearly increased extraction, but towards over extraction so I preferred the cup with the bloom swirl. I’m trying to see if it is worthwhile playing with wet WDT further or putting my efforts towards other techniques like ‘’poor-a-gon” (brewing over a frozen stainless steel ball to mimic Sasa Sestic’s new Paragon brewing setup) or blowing off the chaff post-grind. I don’t want to try all of these at once, so need to focus my incremental brewing efforts to see what works for me.

Great video! What would be a good grind size on fellow ode with ssp mp burrs?

Would you recommend this for travel? e.g. either your backpack going on a plane or camping?

Well done.

I wonder if a v60 02 filter could fit in a Fellow XF?

Love your b rolls more and more, great job. Would like to see the new Melodrip's dripper

Hello again! Have u tried other paper filters with this method? Asking bcuz both the Kalita 102 & MoccaMaster Cup 1 filters are same size but already have flat bottoms. Not exactly same size bottom as when u fold Hario point but possibly another option. I will try them & report. After so many pour over devices, I have returned to both my Stagg X & XF. Each with different amounts of coffee (X 20g, XF 25-40).

Would you experiment with a melodrip?

Great video! I really do appreciate your deep dive style videos, I always learn something new. Do you think these techniques would work as well with the Stagg XF as well? Thanks!

The Orea v3 is similar to the Stagg X minus the flaws, give it a try!

Thanks! I’m wondering if you ever test WDT in after you bloom and what’s your thought? I’m experimenting WDT (for bloom and after bloom) with Orea. While I’m sure about the benefit of it for bloom I’m still confused about what would be the pros/cons of WDT after bloom (I.e. first pour after bloom).

you can also try Cafec trapezoid papers to save some some hassle

Really very cool! I am definitely going to try this! 2 questions please: Any tricks/tips with Fellow Stagg XF - the larger size dripper? And where to get a WDT tool (i don't make espresso) here in India? Also the smaller size Melitta filters are same as 102 & should work the same.Thanks so much!!

Stag vs orea ? Your choice & why 😮

Don't you get less agitation when the kettle is held higher ? The smooth stream penetrates into the bed more easily than when the stream has started to break up as it dissipates more on the surface without penetrating the bed.

What is the carafe that you used to brew? Looks great!!

It reminds me of a Vietnamese coffee maker

What size hario v60 filter should we use? 01, 02, or 03?

Brian Quan likened the Hario Mugen to the Fellow Stagg X, especially when you use the "zero bypass filter" method as well, which is precisely what the Mugen is designed to do. The main difference (aside from the shape) is that the Mugen is "meant" to be brewed with a single pour, rather than pulse-pouring.

Wet WDT with sofi? will it give better results?

Does this process hold good for darker roasts? I am finding it hard to get my dark roasts right as most of the processes are for light roast. So I am not sure how to improve my brew on dark roast.

I'd also like to know what carafe you're using!

WDT: Which by the way most would be coffee snobs think is a wire distribution tool but is actually named after a guy named Weiss. WDT is much more useful if you have a power grinder, as they build much more static. If you use a manual, especially with a little spritz of water to beat static, is much less necessary. When I'm lazy I literally wet my hand and sling a few drops into my grinder. That's enough to kill almost all static. This is for anything from Aeropress to manual espresso. I sling a few drops of water into my Lido ET, and get very reliable shots from my non pre heated, non wdt, super easy Cafelat Robot. People way, way overcomplicate this process and they don't even know why they do it.

Whats your grind size in micron or (click on C40)?

Holy cow 4 or 5 min on drawdown at the final step. How?

How complicated can you make a handbrew lmao

What a complete waste of time. I tried your method vs the Fellows recommended method and there was zero difference in flavor.
