Carl i sincerely want to thank you. I have been using the Hoffman recipe for like a year, and had such a hard time finding the balance. Your video made me realise i did it wrong in one stage. After 1:15 i have been waiting for 1:45 and continued to pour at that time point. Instead of keep pouring but slower and more gentle. I really looking forward to brew a cup of coffee now knowing what i did wrong. 🙏

Any updates on how the adjustment to technique worked out for you? I'm more or less just getting into making my own filter coffee properly so am still rather amazed at how small nuances can influence the resulting cup
@collectionofsensations2 жыл бұрын
@@Lyander25 I have actually changed method :-). But it worked wonders to follow Carls instructions. One important insight i have learned is that when it tastes sour you might have gone to course on the grind, and if its bitter it might be to fine grind. At least its a good starting point. For me the balance is all about grind size and pour effectiveness (rotation speed, flow speed). Either changing the pour or the grind (when using Hario V60 because Kalita evens the pour out a bit). Brewing methods affects sour/bitter results a lot. When you are affected by channeling, water running in small tunnels through the coffee bed instead of extracting it even, you get a kind of sour empty taste. And when you pour for example too slow with a fine grind, the coffee might be over extracted (But not necessarily!! :-)). So its important to kind of find a method and work on it, learn how changes affect taste. What happened when i poured more aggressiv? Stearing up the coffee bed? What if i use courser coffee? And then you have all the small things to worry about like cleaning the filter, grinder and storing the beans at a good location etc. :D Its a fun craft! Others please fill in if i missed something or misunderstood something!

Late to the party here. I would like to argue that Kurasu’s (Kyoto) method is the best. Using a blend of all these techniques (except the aggressive pouring). I do however feel that most recipes don’t use quite enough coffee. I go around 45 grams per 500ml and grind slightly coarser than you do. Gives a bit more of a chocolaty taste and less of an almost-tea-feeling. I learned to up the amount of coffee by own of the best baristas in Sweden by the way.

Great content. Whats worth noting however regarding the Hoffman recipe is that he actually recommended using 30 grams instead of 15. Changing the dose of ground coffee, even if you keep the water ratio constant, tends to change the resulting character and nuances of the coffee. Especially when ur brewing on the same dripper(v20 here), when the max flow rate stays the same while the depth of coffee bed changes, its quite natural other factors such as total brew time are affected as well.

I have been making coffee for 50 years and I used to work for one the best specialty coffee roasters in the World. I have NEVER had a good Hario V60 from a Cafe.....ever. Honestly, it is a finicky brewer to say the least. I switched to the Nicholas Cho recipe (whom I despise as an individual) and a Kalita Wave Brewer. Consistently, much better tasting coffee. Without getting into too much detail....watch the Cho video and make coffee in a Kalita Wave and just taste consistently delicious coffee... without all the fuss of a V60. The V60 is just too fast and trying to grind the coffee medium fine is a problem for most grinders. Medium coarse is the sweet spot for most grinders and the Kalita Wave shines. I use a 500 dollar Baratza Vario grinder with German flat burrs at a setting of 8 H. I never have to dial in my coffee with the exception of some really light roasters from San Francisco. Great Job Carl...subscribed.

Nice comparison - James Hoffman has exact timings for the brewing method though: After 45 seconds of blooms you pour to 60% of your total brew weight in 30 seconds (so finishing that at 1:15) and then continuing without stopping again for 30 seconds to pour in the remaining 40% (from 1:15 to 1:45). The reason why you pour slower in the second phase is simply because you only have 40% of the water left, so a lower flow rate (flow rate is the amount of water you pour per second). You can find his recipe in the pinned comment in his video. ^^
