Definitely 90-91c has been the most consistent for me. All my brews are 30g:450ml. Grind is set at 17 on a virtuoso and sifted down from 33g. I use 50ml of bypass and the brew ideally takes 2:45 (no bloom) through a origami/Kalita. Your videos have made the biggest difference by far in my consistency. 🙏🙏🙏

Ooo you do bigger brews! The bypass is king then. Super glad my videos/ideas have helped you out!

Bubbles for the two videos looked about the same to me - maybe you need to do side-by-side replay of the videos. I've settled on 200 F for dark roasts; 195 F for light/medium roasts, and have been happy
@TALESCOFFEE3 жыл бұрын
Agreed, I should've done it with an even darker coffee. Looking back at it, I notice the subtle differences because I work with light/Mediums more. Thank you for this. Interesting how you do higher water temp for darker roasts. I usually do the opposite, I do lower for darker coffees!
@notme1231233 жыл бұрын
I tend to favor lighter roasts and I usually start with boiling water. But I’ve been trying lower temperatures and I’ve been enjoying brews in the 200-205F range (93-96C). I’ll try going a little lower tomorrow and see how it goes.

Let me know how you like it! (sorry replay so late didn't see it till now oddly). I like using higher water temp for lighter roasts, but i find lower temperature is more gentle
@manuelpenaruiz36942 жыл бұрын
91 is great for most coffees. From my experience 90-91 works great except for lighter roasts. In such case I always use boiling (or almost boiling) water for better results. Vince's single pour works great on the V60 but i also do single pours on the Melitta and works great just by adjusting grind size.

Fav grind size & temp: A little bit finer than medium (coarser than yours) for a more gentle bloom and faster brew time. 92,5 temp just because I like the number 🤣

great visual demos thanks! 100% my brews are looking just like the high water temp video here, so will try leaving the water a bit longer before brewing next time to see if I can calm it down! super useful to see the difference like this side by side
@TALESCOFFEE3 жыл бұрын
Yeah! Havinng a lower water temperature will really help with calming and controlling the coffees!

@@TALESCOFFEE just tried with approx 90 degrees water (let kettle in water cool for ~2 mins before using - high tech method right!) - and yeah great difference, much easier to sink grinds down and I know what you mean now! Ended up with an excellent dome and the bigger grinds underneath with a good bit of paste on top - excellent results in the cup! Literally every time I watch a new video more and more pennies drop! Thanks

It also depends on the roast level of the beans...darker ones need to go far lower

Yups darker coffees for sure, I meant for like a general start 91 is the favourite for me even for darker coffee 91 is like controllable
@seblew40913 жыл бұрын
I don’t doubt the science behind higher temperature water causing more gas and therefore less controllable extraction, but your side-by-side demo was really misleading. The high temp was poured much higher and more aggressively which will naturally cause more agitation and gas. The lower temp was poured closer to the coffee grounds with smaller circular motion therefore with naturally lower agitation causing less gas. :/

Ahaha, I had a misfire on one of the shots so I had to refilm the next day Ughz. Yeah there was some discrepancy. I should’ve noticed, I think maybe my clips got mixed ahhhhh. I will redo soon >.

And then at the end it was still kinda similar in looks. I should use a different kettle Ughz. This kettle I can control too easily ahaha.

Well dang! My water temp has been waaay too high! I've been grinding more on the medium side of medium-fine and my water temp has been 98ºC. My wife likes the flavor, but she said it has a campfire feel to it. I'm definitely going to have to lower the water temp and slow my initial pour. Maybe decrease the grind size a smidge to be tiny bit finer. We'll see how that goes. The campfire taste could also be coming from the fact that the beans are charcoal roasted (Sumiyaki). I think lowering the water temp will make it taste even better, as I usually have to add about 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar to get the taste to be just right for me.

You mentioned sifting...is that 500-700 range, or 700-200 range to cover medium fine and remove extra fines below 200?
@viperlt862 жыл бұрын
Can you give me some more details about what a medium fine grind is? How many microns would you say? I’m using a Baratza Vario calibrated to 2Q. I feel like the coarsest it will grind is still what I would call medium.
@TALESCOFFEE2 жыл бұрын
Around 400-500 microns is my go to right now! Play around with that range if you can’t go finer!!
