You are very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Mine too!

That's actually what this recipe does. We give time constraints for more consistency day-to-day and person-to-person. Glad you enjoy the Kalita, its our favorite!

@@OnyxCoffeeLab The thing that irks me a little, is that the wonderful polycarbonate drippers as seen on the 100 series Kalita wedge, are nowhere to be seen here, nor the large size meant for Kalita's 1200ml carafe. When making coffee for a crowd, i'm gonna have to buy that carafe along with a 104 dripper and some filters. (Not a big deal, as the wedge is easily as straightforward as the wave.)

This may be caused by fine migration. Try gentler pulses so you don't disrupt the coffee bed. Channeling can also be caused by uneven distribution (similar to grooming espresso in portafilter)

I too have this question but don't see an answer. I've tried Baratza Vario recommended size for chemex-9m, and French Press-10M, both cause Kalita to over flow if use the pouring schematics used in this video.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your Kalita! We have had a lot of luck with ours. Did you happen to give this recipe a try?

We don't have a stance on "best". But, we have favorites. Stainless steel is great for travel, but flows a little slower and older models have a tendency to choke more frequently. Glass is the fastest flow rate and ceramic is medium, but tends to produce our favorite cups.

I like how the coffee stuck to the sides is removed in the Coffee Lovers video (starting @ 10:44) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o95olZOd196meZs.html

Typically about 205 is standard- I would even play around from 195-205 range

Yes it is. Good eye. I believe that they are almost out, so try to get one before they are completely gone. fellowproducts.com/shop/bigjo/

@@OnyxCoffeeLab is there a grind setting on the breville smart grinder pro that you could recommend using your method? Im lost and Im looking to make 4 cups!

The goal is to have the water reach the top of the handle, not the filter. The final spiral around the edge is meant to rinse the inside edge of the filter, but inadvertent pouring over the end of the filter happens. The final circle is not meant to go on the edge, most of your water should still be inside the filter!

We don't have a shareable document. However you can find a write out and brew-along guide here GUIDES.FILTRU.COFFEE/ONYX-COFFEE-LAB-KALITA-METHOD-BVFR

I could have done that but I was more interested in exposing you for the angry fool that you are.

Our starting point is 5M on a Baratza Forte. But, expect to fluctuate depending on your coffee.

Good question, Daniel! Here's my best guess: Well, overfilling makes it too easy for the fines to free up and get direct access to the paper -- clogged paper! ... Anyone know if I'm on to the right answer?

@@DanMars27 lol, awesome. I'm a year later to the party, but yeah, fines migration toward the filter, causing clogging, is generally accepted to be the culprit when high agitation pours end up causing slower draw downs. Typically high speed pours will have faster draw downs when using a higher quality grinder. What are you using?

Hi Daniel, we're also a little late to the answer, but you are close! When the water is closer to the coffee bed, and we pour, that agitates it and creates a "slurry". This distributes the coffee and heat evenly. If we are overfilling or not agitating that brew bed, then there is no slurry. The water will slowly drain and pack down the brew bed, causing an increase in overall brew time and perceived bitterness.

@@OnyxCoffeeLab Thank you! This makes sense. Curious if you've seen April Coffee's (Patrick Rolf) recipes. They are basically what one would get if they applied Tetsu Kasuya's methods to Dylan's, but typically with only about 15 grams. ... I'll pay more attention to the slurry and its dynamics.

@@AllThingsFascinate I have a bunch of grinders and I get similar results from all of them. They are all high-end grinders, as in they make EK43s look bad.

I guess only if you brew more than a cups worth. But I still see lots of people brewing 1 cups worth into a beaker.

You don't need a beaker. This size is larger than most diner sized mugs. It's just nice to brew into something easy to clean, mix, and repeat, especially in a cafe setting. It also will cool a touch between the decanter and pouring into your cup, so you can drink it a little sooner.

For sure, he's actually using a 185!

True. My V60 has been gathering dust since I bought the Kalita Wave.

We'd start at 12 for this technique on the Encore.

It's called the Kalita Wave Kettle.

The Kalita Wave Stainless Steel 1L Drip Kettle!

Sorry you've had that issue. By preheating our brewer well, and brewing with 205F water, we have often burned our tongues with a fresh cup. With a 3-4 minute brew the beverage shouldn't get below 180F.

I use a metal Kalita (unlike what is used in video), and preheat with hot water as well as a coffee travel mug, which I then put the Kalita on to brew into the mug. Between the Kalita and mug both being prewarmed, and the Kalita itself providing a barrier to heat escaping from the mug during brewing, have no issue with keeping it hot. Just put the lid on travel mug when done to keep hot, and pour into a cup to drink from. Further, I find that quality coffee brewed well actually tastes better once it's cooled down some, within reason. So after pouring from the travel mug I tend to let sit for a few minutes before enjoying.

It will work in the origami, although you may experience choking since the origami flows more quickly than the Kalita in the early stage of brewing. 25clix should be a great starting point.

this is definitely the 185. The 155 has a narrower flare at the top rim.

@@knifeforkandaspoon thanks

Hmm, well the Kalita Wave really popularized the flat bottomed dripper. It's flat shape allows for a shorter brew column, ex 20g in V60 is taller than 20g in Kalita. This allows a more even distribution of heat and water, allowing more pronounced sweetness and body than conical brewers, without sacrificing acidity. Hope that helps. Let us know if you'd like help with any of the other 971 pourover devices!

Sorry to hear that. Have you given our recipe a try?

@@OnyxCoffeeLab I did, constant clogging. Albeit, I may have gone too fine. I think a lot of people have that problem on the Kalita tbh.
