Years ago, for 8 years I planted trees and perennials for 16 seasons. I JUST realized that I spent a lot of time staring at water streams, employing watering technique, trying not to disturb the bed. Maybe I got a visual clue when I lay down some used coffee grounds as mulch for a street tree this week and admired how beautiful it looked there.

I actually have the same glass sticks from melodrip. Funny story, I popped a whole through the filter on the first time trying to do the spiral. But no joke it was actually awesome. Probably going to keep doing it like this now. Thanks for always showing up with useful videos ✌🏼

手法翻譯: 影片1分30秒開始 18g的粉，288g的水，分水比1:16，水溫：淺焙100度，深焙93度需要一根圓柱棒攪拌，可用筷子代替，使用淺焙用濾紙 ①折完濾紙放入濾杯，將筷子放在折邊的對面並沖濕濾紙 ②將乾粉放入濾杯，並用筷子攪成螺旋狀(參考影片:2分22秒) ③悶蒸50g的水，加水後從中心跟著之前的螺旋紋路攪拌一個反螺旋 ④用繞圈的方式在1分15秒內要注入60％的水。這次總共用288g的水，所以此時水是加至173g ⑤之後不斷水從中心注小水至288g，此時總時長大概落在2分30秒到45秒 ⑥注完水時搖下濾杯 ⑦等濾杯流下的水不再是水柱而是水滴時把濾杯移開就完成了。注意: 乾粉用筷子攪拌時要小心不要太大力，不然將濾紙底戳破就悲劇了！

I have a love-hate relationship with the Melodrip. But you can absolutely use it with this recipe during the center pour portion. It’s just going to take a little trial and error to get the pace and movements down. I considered using the Melodrip for this recipe, but decided against it purely to make it more approachable for everyone.

@CDdogg303 4 ай бұрын

Ive done it twice now, screwed up the technique a bit on both of them and in still dialing in my grind. First one seemed a bit over extracted and a touch slow, sexond one I believe was a bit under extracted and ran a bit fast. Hopefully the next one will be on point with both the technique and the grind 👍👍

What would be the difference in waiting 10-30 seconds between the main pours (half-drain or so?), or an immediate switch to a slower gentle pour for the last? I've seen both these options in popular methods. More extraction if you drain VS a higher slurry temp if you keep pouring?

I was a little bit skeptical about the last center pour, and to be honest im still thinking about it and that's why I'm here. Doesn't the center pour can result in an uneven extraction? I can see that it creates a little crater in the middle of the coffee bed which led me thinking about it. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

Where on your Niche Zero did you dial the coarseness to? For espresso I set the NZ to 17. For V60 I turn the NZ's dial all the way round past the 50 (last number) so the silver pointer is directly under the bolt that holds the lid on. Don't you often wish there was an accurate way to describe grind setting? It's has to be one of the holy grails of coffee tech I think.

@Sprometheus 3 жыл бұрын

That’s pretty interesting. I do run my espresso very close to, and in that 12-20 range. But I grind my V60 around 40. Having a way to accurately re-create a grind would be a game changer. If everyone had a Kruve sifter it could be done, but that’s a relatively big outlay for that tool.

Thanks Sprometheus for sharing your technique..but I wanna ask you a question regarding this method being continuous pouring or as classic interrupted pouring?? Is that first and second pours (after blooming) are very slow to fulfill the whole extraction time?? I mean that during first pour timing for example (which is about 45 seconds) I have to continue pouring water in a rate to cover the whole time or if I just reach 177 grams on a scale before the target time then wait to the second pour?

I can never get my V60 grinds to not stick to the sides of the paper. There's never a flat bed at the end, just caked on grinds and a ton of bubbly froth above the grinds. I've waited till it drops a short bit and stirred gently with a spoon in one circle, then back again the other direction near the sides. I've swirled lightly once the water drops a few centimeters. I've swirled when the water is more than halfway down. I've poured water directly on the sides of the paper to knock the grinds off. I've tapped the V60 gently on the carafe after swirling. I've tried the above things by themselves, in various combinations, and altogether. I'm grinding just slightly finer than medium coarseness, pouring with a Stagg EKG at 202F, and pouring exactly how various youtube videos (James Hoffman's, Scott Rao's) show to do. Every single time, the grinds are stuck on the sides and not resting as a flat bed at the end and it's driving me nuts.

Interesting that you poor so slowly at the end, that the stream of water breaks up and fall as droplets. I've always tried to avoid that, even if it meant pooring slightly faster than I wanted to. Lots of stuff to play around with here.

Definitely a lot to try out. Once you get a chance to play around let me know how you like it.

Wouldn't that splashing center pour from such a great height overagitate the slurry, especially in the center?

@dominicsay8090 3 жыл бұрын

More often than not, the more agitation the better. More agitation = more extraction. What you’d really want though is for the point at which the stream of water breaks up and splashes to be just under the surface of the slurry, not on the surface. Otherwise you’re just agitating the water, not the bed of coffee.

@impaque 3 жыл бұрын

I disagree about agitation. While it is necessary for the blooming pour in order to quickly surround every coffee particle with water at the same time, (this kind of aggressive) agitation leads to overextraction. I've never seen anyone pour from this height, and that must be the logic of the Mellodrip as well: "rinse" the coffee gently, don't tumble it around.

@dominicsay8090 3 жыл бұрын

It would depend on the amount of fines produced by your grinder (assuming we’re talking about well roasted light-medium coffees), and the coffee itself, but I’ve always found that as long as I don’t get any channelling, a more agitated bed of coffee will taste better and more extracted

Wow, I tried this morning, I can really taste the difference!!! The only thing, it took me a few attempts to get the “spiral”, I didn’t have a chopstick handy (never mind a glass stirrer) so I used a steel drinking straw. Nope 👎. But it’s great to try something different, easier to replicate than complicated phased pours. Thank you.

Alex !M thanks Alex! Glad you enjoyed it, and the spiral would definitely be tough with a straw, but glad to hear you got it done!

When do you decide to use the Melodrip vs regular brew without?

@Sprometheus 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly I rarely use the Melodrip. I tend to lean for hand pours purely for the convenience. But the Melodrip is a great tool, and it would definitely work for this method.

Flows pretty easily, huh? That does seem to be my issue. I'm either grinding too fine or not stirring right and the end of my drip takes a decade.

Hi Sprometheus, why do you let the water split into droplets at the end? Do you wish to minimize agitation? Thanks.

Cool! , I've Never seen this method and I'm gonna try it out soon. Do you pour clockwise only in blooming phase🤔?

@Sprometheus 3 жыл бұрын

Vincent the direction of the circular pour doesn’t really matter, it’s just however you feel most comfortable and accurate.
