Aite I think the video is kind of looking pretty good now. Thought guys? I think audio/lighting are better yeah? What do you guys wanna see next? Do you have any issues with your pourovers? Let me know what I can cover ^^
The videos have been getting better! Though, honestly, quality of content over quality of video for me! I do like to brew bigger batches! What would you do for 500ml? Your other video was 1:14 ratio, brew to 420ml and bypass with 70ml. With this method, what would you recommend for brewing and bypass?
@@peterlin6419 oh I KNOW THIS FEELING. Believe it or not, I actually script things, for some reasons my brain cannot remember anything I write. It's like when I'm talking as I'm talking my brain thinks of different things and all these tangents form. I know it's a big issue, but I can't stop myself from this T___T I have the hardest time memorizing word for word >.
I use the larger Clever Dripper using the Berg Wu technique for 700ml. 500ml as pour over then finish with 200ml as immersion at a bit lower temp. Very good results.
These days I'm usually using about 14 grams of coffee to about 225 grams of water. That way every drop is fresh. I find that 300 grams or more tends to sit, but it's the holidays, and I'd sure like to be able to pour 2 or more servings at once for company. Saves on labor and filters. And actually, since you seem to like the chattiness aspect of the comments section... So I quit drinking alcohol some time ago. Maybe 6 or 9 months. I used to brew beer. So I'm serving soda water on one side of my kegerator for Glenn and Friends inspired sodas. On the other side I'd really like to figure out 5 gallons of coffee that I can push with minimal CO2. It will add a little acidity, but if I only seal the keg with CO2, and only have the CO2 on a few pounds when in service, I should be able to push a still cold black coffee. But... I have to figure out making 5 gallons in one go of cold coffee. Which I've never made.
I do like chatting on comments, it just allows me to connect with people better haha. Wait beer! Holy I love that stuff but only one or two a week nothing more hhhhh. As for 5 gallons .. why not just cold brew or cold press a coffee? I've thought about the idea for a cold press before. It's weird but essentially it's like making a nut milk. Soak the beans in water (well we don't need to soften that much so like 30 mins - 1 hour?) and then add a 1:10 ratio in a blender LMAO and strain. I guess making 5 gallons that way could be pretty time consuming .. but .. :D
So, while possible for larger brew, the single pour technique appears more optimal smaller brews. My usual brew is 30 g coffee and 500 g water. While I no longer use single pour technique, i still appreciate you sharing your ideas and my current technique is a combination of ideas from different recipes I’ve found. I’ve found your prepping the grounds bed with your chopstick stir and tap has improved evenness of extraction of my 5 pour method recipe on the Cafec Flower and I believe has allowed me to grind finer. So even though I no longer use your technique exactly, your ideas have still improved my brewing! Thank you!
My usual brewer is a Bonavita immersion brewer(seems to be no longer manufactured) using 400 to 750ml of water and once in a while a liter. Starting by adding some water(I use about 100 to 150ml) to the switch closed brewer totally eliminates the clogging problem. I usually steep for 4 minutes then break up any crust and scrape the edges with a chop stick. Then I open the switch and pour the amount of water needed to meet my desired ratio. I learned the adding water trick from a Hoffman video about the Clever Dripper. He gives credit for his source of this trick. Thanks for the video. I’ll keep watching.
I love brew big batches, as you said, for friends & families. Let's them enjoy our coffee. These days, many people are eager to drink coffee, a good one, but they're just don't know how to make one, nor do they have the time to learn, how to start, etc, etc. So let's we brew for them & introduce them to the coffee rabbit hole! Hahaha just kidding. I usually use a bit coarser grind size than normally I do for bigger brew & slightly higher temperature.
The fellow stagg xf is designed for this. Their fill up method is similar to your single pour and the dripper is built for larger batches. It's not cheap but it's my go to dripper for 600ml batches
Oh yes! Flat bottoms will work much better then conicals for sure. I actually haven’t played with the Stagg drippers yet, glad to know they work well for larger batches!
Hahaha I’ve destroyed enough! I used to go all the way down and definitely cracked a few nowadays I only stir top to middle, no need to disturb the bottom!
Great video This is absolutely a great method to larger quantities of coffee. Thank you ! Could you do a video of elimination of sour flavors In coffee. Every so often my coffee comes out sour and it’s usually when I’m not giving enough attention to detail. It would be great to see a video on your experience with sour in coffee.
Generally the acidity comes at the beginning of the brew, and then at the end when you over extract. I can definitely do a shorts/long form video on it soon. Will need some time to grind out my missing videos first. The thing is though over extraction at the end also brings out a lot of acidity. So you want to be careful and not create too much agitation. How I generally tell if a coffee is over extracted is when the coffee grinds sink and the foam at the top is gone and you still have a lot of liquids. (err a lot of text but essentially when the brew is clogged and you have a lot of water left up there) This means the water at the top is mostly extracting from the top of the grinds which = over extraction. The solution is to simply pour with agitation. I'll also be doing a video on what affects agitation so stay tuned, that should be coming up soon!
I’m thinking about doing stuff on the decent as well HAHAHHAA soon. I’m very like self conscious about that machine. I feel like idk anyrhing about it still T____T
I think your videos are getting better! Though, honestly, content quality > video quality :P For this recipe, what would you suggest for brewing 500mL? In your other video, you did a 1:14 ratio, brewing with 420mL and bypass with 70mL. Since this recipe is different, what would your new numbers be for 500mL? Thanks for making this video! I love making larger brews :)
YAAAAAY! Thank you! Yeah of course for me content quality still needs to be > then video quality. But I do want your view experience better. Next to work on is the tempo/my anxiousness when I talk 😩 As for 500! Hmm, 35g beans and 500g water is a good ratio I would do like the same as this video but without the bypass. Just take it slow from the middle and then let the “draining” so the agitation so keep it gentle from beginning to end. The amount of water you pour in is already enough agitation I think!
I’ve never had A problem making a 600ml batch with a 03 switch doing 60ml pours. With a light roast at 210 degrees. Why are you saying it’s difficult. I never have much clogging. With a medium, medium fine grind.
Omg sorry I missed this message, Hmmmm! If you could give me a bit more information that would help! It could be your coffee grinds are draining a bit fast, or you could be pouring too slowly. Send me a picture on IG DM's I'll be able to see much easier!
So looking at buying an origami for the larger brews. I want the plastic one they just dropped but it’s only in small. I brew no larger than 30g light roast, you think the small would be fine for that or should i still opt for the medium ceramic? Thanks man 🙏🏾
I do 54G at no more than 5 min. Yours seems to fine & ur use to all smaller brews i think .I know you don't like to go coarser BUT if you did you would be in good shape.
If you go coarser I'd mostly try to remove the fines with static if possible. Go up to 450-500 microns no need to really go much coarser though. Consistency is key!
