I've been making pour overs for years, so I was a bit skeptical when I watched this video and noticed how different it was than other recipes I've like...but I have to say, I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised! My cups are coming out with more clarity and vibrancy then I've ever had. I've played around with a wide range of grind sizes for this method on my fortefied Vario and I haven't made a bad cup. So in my opinion, this isn't just a great way to get clarity in your brews, but it's just as importantly a forgiving recipe!

Wow I’ve been using this recipe for the past 6 days and have been very impressed. I’ve used a a high end and low end conicals and am getting great juicy cups from both. It’s amazing how much fines really get pick out on the sides. Thank you Lance!!!

This was one of the sweetest and fruitiest cup of coffees I’ve made. Bravo on the recipe!

I've been doing a similar recipe with my kono for awhile and I love it! I think the idea of swirling the top layer is a great idea that I will attempt tomorrow. Thank you Lance!

This is probably one the friendliest recipes that guarantees a great cup. 2 min bloom, extra agitation, and separate the fines. Uniquely different. Will stick to this for a while. Love it...

I recently retired and wanted a hobby (other than knitting) and love coffee. So I started watching videos and became thoroughly confused. That is until I found your channel. Love love love watching them and your energy is contagious. The way you explain the different pour over methods, in my opinion, is the best I have found. You deserve a big THANK YOU!

Dope content yet again. Understanding how to best highlight the qualities of a specific bean and deciding which recipe to extract with is so valuable and not applied in enough specialty shops. The recipe for all coffees just doesn't exist and it's great to see some radically different approaches that addresses this. Thanks again, can't wait to try

Finally I got my cup right with my Kenya AA SL 28 after watching this video! Tried several recipes before & this is the best so far for the bean! Thanks Lance!

I tried this recipe this morning, and I really enjoyed the cup of coffee I got out of it. Thanks man ! And thanks for your videos !

After a lifetime of tassimo, keurig and Tim Hortons coffee, I geared up with recommended equipment so that I could do pour over and try your last pour over recipe. I very much enjoyed the resulting cups of coffee using the sample beans that rogue wave coffee gifted me with my equipment purchases. Never had a cleaner cup of coffee in my life! And I could drink it black, which is a miracle in and of itself, and could distinguish different flavours. Lots yet to learn, but I am thoroughly enjoying my new journey into pour over coffee! Thank you!

I love coffee! I commented this because Lance told me to and he's never steered me wrong. Also, stoked on this! My grinder produces higher fines than I would like, and I struggle to get vibrancy out of high-fines coffees like Ethiopian naturals, etc. I'm hyped to try this out in the morning!

Love the details and paused moments to check the grind size and expected result! I also realised why I can't get as much fines now as I use kono. And yes, thanks for your rec/influence, our mornings with magnolia mountains are a must!

This was a great video and excellent tutorial. Very clear and concise. Great job.

Love your detailed explanations. Thanks for what you do, brotha

i love coffee and i love your videos. found you on keys to the shop today and im gonna binge everything. you're incredible! Thank you!

I watched this a few months ago when I first started to use a V60. Occationally hitting a great cup of coffee with a Kenya light roast taht I was using but not consistent. Remembering some of this ideas from this video I knew some details were just off or missing something. After finding it again and trying this technique now I get a great cup of coffee every time. Thanks so much as this is the coffee I knew I could get if I matched my brew technique with my grinder. Now I get excited when I end up with a flat bed and muddy filter.

Awesome recipe that I’ll definitely try tomorrow! Thank you!!

I tried this technique this morning and the results were excellent. I roast my own coffee so I am always trying to get the best coffee from the various brewing methods I use. The pour over I was able to get today was indeed the cleanest and brightest I have brewed in over 4 years. The coffee was very clean and there was a nice sweetness that I have not been able to produce before.

This taught me so much about what I’ve been doing wrong in general! Thank you!

I'm quite blown away by how good the coffee with this method was! Great stuff :)

Wow... This recipe explores a cleaner flavor profile lacking in many other approaches. Well worth having in your pour-over tool box; produces lovely well-balanced cups for me.

This is a wonderful recipe. I'm still new to the whole pour-over game, but this has been the most consistent recipe for me. Easy to remember, scalable, works very well with a wide variety of coffee roasts, and it allows me to grind finer without stalling. Until I "level up" my pour-over skill, this will be my go-to recipe. Kudos, Lance!

To be frank, I was skeptical of this recipe at first. I've been using Hoffmann method for ages with great results. But I tried this twice yesterday and the resulting brew each time was stunning - so much brighter and clearer flavour notes. Delicious. Thank you so much! This is my new default V60 recipe!!

Very excited to try dis brew. I love your pourover recipe vids!!

Ace been needing a video on this for a while thank you 👍👍

Just want to say the "Recipe in Action" part of the video made following this technique in real time so easy!! It felt like I was in a live class with Lance!!

Hi Lance Thanks for this - great alternative high agitation recipe - worked beautifully with a washed Peruvian Coffee I was struggling with. Totally agree about the Cafec filters. I've been using them for a while and think they're excellent 👍 Great content on your Chanel 😀

I am SO EXCITED to try this, v60 is my daily driver and my grinder isn't the best, this is right up my alley

Thanks Lance, good stuff. Video on immersion brewing would be awesome. Have a good day!

Wow! I'm blown away! I was somewhat skeptical after watching this vid, but I just brewed my sweetest, most vibrant cup yet. No sourness or astringency! Often, I have to dilute the coffee afterwards to bring out more sweetness. I'd been brewing this Ehiopian at 93C per another KZfaqr's advice, and I thought 100C would make it super astringent, but nope! Thanks for your very informative, scientific videos, @Lance Hedrick. I've been learning a lot in the past few weeks.

I feel like I’ve pretty much mastered the James Hoffman v60 technique, so in an effort to try new things, I’ve started incorporating this and your other v60 technique. What I appreciate about your approach is that you keep things simple, making it easy to reproduce consistently. And most importantly, the cup I’m sipping on that I made with this technique is absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work!

So glad I found this. I've been trying to dial in the Kasuya 4:6 method, but just can't get it to work for me, the coarse grind makes the brew too acidic for my liking. So while drinking my coffee this morning, I ditched half of it to remake in this way. I thought a back to back tasting would be a good idea. Results: It's a much nicer cup, more rounded, less acidic (I'm using a light roasted Kenyan), and a bit sweeter overall. For me the biggest benefit is not standing around doing 5 pours. We're about to open a café so I've been trying out all the methods I can find so that I can use the best tasting one in the café. From a process perspective, this one is much easier for a barista, and frees them up to do other things, whereas the 4:6 keeps you fully occupied for 5 minutes. Taste is definitely the most important factor, but this is still a decent side benefit. What a difference! I'm sure non-coffee people would not believe that this is exactly the same coffee being used. Thanks again for all of your videos, by far the most educational online, and by the most genuine of people. You're awesome.

I’m normally a French press guy but will be giving this a try soon, love your video’s, especially on the breville line of espresso machines.

I love to learn from your videos its pushing me forward as Barista

Love your videos! You’ve really brought my pour overs to a new level

Going to try this for my next V60 brew. Looks great!

You are an excellent teacher, Bud.

Yum recipe, nice and simple too. I just made it on my v60 now.

I was watching his vid from a year ago and when i clicked this vid i thought i was in a different persons channel lol. One of the best guys in coffee youtube!

Love the content, keep up the good work! You gain a new subscriber

I watched this video when it first came out but wasn't having trouble with fines so i kind of moved on to other methods. However recently I'm having a lot of problems with stalled pourovers. Maybe i need a new top burr on my grinder. I remembered this because Lance is the only guy who has specifically addressed how to deal with fines. Well I have to say the results are wonderful! I'm drinking it now and loving it. The brew did not stall and lots of fines were up on the wall as he showed. Kudos to Lance for such great tips!!

It yields much sweeter and vibrant cups unlike any other two pour brew (Hoffman & April) Thanks again!

I'm just starting out on my specialty coffee journey, I just got my first pour over, three weeks ago. So I don't know much. The past few days I've been trying a method very similar to this. I'm using a Hairo V60 Decanter with the filters made at the 2nd Japanese plant, my other difference is that I'm doing a double bloom, both at 45 seconds. The rest of the pour is the same as yours. Because of that 2nd bloom though I belive I'm cloging my filter, extending my draw down time. For me that's fine, because I love the outcome. The taste is has a more full taste, more body. It's a lighter roast (which I've learned I don't care for as much) but I've learned to mold it to what I like. I don't like wasting. After 40 years of Foldgers, then a couple years of Keurig, a couple more of what I thought was good pre-ground coffee I've finally found something I actually enjoy. I love the entire process. I wish I could make coffee all day. I wish I had endless money to try endless gadgets. Do I dare think about espresso? Anyways. I like your videos so far, I've only seen a few, keep up the great work!

Thanks for the video Lance, I use a Niche Zero to grind for my pour overs and quite often get it stalled - will definitely be giving this technique a go. I'll toast you with the first brew, cheers

“I love coffee, that would be fun”. Helping the algorithm. Keep up the great stuff!

I love this. So much of the advice out there regarding brew method or filter choice goes out the window if you're working with a grinder that produces a lot of fines. I've recently been using my travel hand grinder as my daily driver after giving my baratza virtuoso to a family member. I've been pleasantly surprised by how much performance I've been able to eke out using this technique. Not a perfect cup but way better than the cups I was getting with other "standard" techniques and definitely something I'm happy to drink every morning while I save up for a new electric grinder :)

This recipe has been amazing. It has really changed my V60 cups for the better. Just upgraded to the K-Max as well so nice to see grind settings for it. I was very surprised that I was able to go from the 7 down to a 5.5 on the grinder for the same ratio I was using previously and get a much better cup out of it. I was sure I would have some astringency going that fine or stalling issues but the bed looks cleaner and flatter than when I was grinding at 7 and all the fines are on the wall of filter (as they should be by the design of the recipe). Well done Lance thanks for a great recipe and an improvement to my morning coffee! Now to find some light roast coffees to experiment with and move on from medium roast.

Really cool ideas and technique! Very interesting

I just nailed the grind size for this recipe on the first try. I’ve impressed myself.

It’s just another quality video 👏🏻👏🏻

Lance, this was an aha moment for me trying to get a good V60 from the perfect storm of under-extraction: super-dense, light roasted beans using really low TDS Holy Water as I've been switching up my usual recipes of Barista Hustle and 70/30 waters. This was giving me trouble even with aligned SSP MP burrs that resulted in long drawdown times and both overly bright and bitter brews. I tried your method this morning and got my tasting notes back (I've missed you, pineapple and banana leaf)! I also see this useful for decaf beans that seem to shatter more into fines - it'll be nice not to over caffeinate just because I like the taste of coffee! This will be a part of my pour over arsenal. Cheers, and thanks again for all the great work.

Great video! Been struggling with long drawdown times and stalling with my Ethiopian coffee. I will give this method a try!

Yessss. Super excited to try this one tomorrow. Also love that 2min bloom - just the right amount of time to make a quick breakfast. This seems like a great recipe for both making the best of the equipment you have (i.e. my very average hand-grinder) and also being super doable on a busy morning.

No one makes me wish more I could drink more coffee than Lance 😁

Perfect my bro l loved the results. You the mann!! ❤👏 I am drinking the coffee and typing at the same time 😉

MM cup has finally entered the country now waiting for it to show up in Florida, super excited.

I love coffee & I love Lance Heddrick videos

Just tried this recipe today for the first time and man, juicy is absolutely the right description! So juicy, absolutely delicious!

thnk you sir ! doing the science so we can just enjoy

I love coffee ☕️ 😀👍🤎 definitely trying this recipe

uff. I feel like I just attended a two hour seminar on advanced chemistry. I'll definitely try this one though, just skipping to the in action part which seems easy to follow. Thank you, man!

I love coffee, btw the pictures you took with MorganDrinksCoffee your hair is looking great in those. And congrats on coaching the US Barrista champ

Just tried it with a light roasted Costa Rica Honey, and it’s amazing! I’m naming it the “Whirlpool Method”

Cups are amazing, actually. I thought the small one was overkill in terms of size for espresso, but it's so so perfect. Even a 36 gram espresso feels glorious.

I gave it a try in the v60, you're making me really enjoy conical drippers over my flat bottoms...

Just made a cup, was absolutely blown away.

I love coffee SO FREAKING MUCH

MM + LH cups are money. So classy. Loving mine already.

Prior to seeing this I had been losing hope in my niche zero’s ability to produce the pour over I wanted due to all of the fines. So I am VERY excited that my first brew using this method with my niche produced a cup of coffee that was had that juiciness and clarity I’ve been searching for! There is still room for improvement, but now I feel like I am actually getting close to where I want to be. Thank you Lance!!

I am really going to try this recipe!

Just tried this technique. Very sweet and juicy results with an Ecuador light roast. Packed full of flavor! Some room for improvement my end as the finish is a tiny bit astringent though not unpleasant. Didn’t get it quite right I think as there was a bit of a dome on the bed at the end. Interestingly it was almost all chaff and boulders though, where with a strong swirl technique I normally see everything evenly distributed. I’m not sure how it affected the results. Will have to experiment some more with the longer bloom times and agitation phase for sure. Thanks for sharing Lance!

FINAAAALLY !!!! Yes finally a grind setting shared with a Kplus ! Ahah i know that it is something to take as it is and might depend on the beans mainly but very helpful to me cause I’m typically using about 6,5/7 on my kplus for a v60. Can’t wait to try it thanks a lot

Thank you for using a K series grinder and sharing your grind setting.

This is definitely a good recipe!

Just brewed one of my best cups using this recipe!

I’m starting to come to the end of my pack of Sibarist filters and I think I’ll try the Cafec filters next. I’ve really enjoyed brewing with Sibarist, much more so than with the stock Hario filters.

Love a good V60. The simpler the better! 😁

love this :) also cute drawing on the fridge. ur kids got talent. perhaps a future latte art champion too? haha

Nice recipe, my Ouganda light roast was delicious!

can't wait to try this at home.

oh boy do i love coffee! /srs your videos are great. appreciate u

I'm gonna try this recipe tomorrow

Melodrip (or aeropress filter lid taped to a chopstick 🤷‍♂️) works real well for the bloom pour here

Really delicious, just had one in the morning using 95 score coffee from Coffea Circulor.

Hey Lance, idea for a YT short - basically an ad for this video but with the slant that folks with certain espresso-focused grinders that go coarse enough for filter but suck at it due the fines (Vario, Niche etc,) may not need to buy a separate grinder for filter, they can use this recipe and get pretty-good results while taking care of those fines.

Here you Lance, I love 💕 coffee ☕️ and your videos 👍

I love coffee and I love you Lance

I have one 🍵 thank u Lance for taking care of the Shipping fee 👌🏽

Well done!

Super. At work I only have a cheapish grinder that produces a lot of fines. I’ll try this technique on Monday. Thank you

Love your videos ! I would love to see your best iced v60 recipe ! Really having hard time to find a suitable recipe pour a good iced v60/pour over

I love coffee !!

Yeah so this 1-2-1 method is pretty neat! I made some fresh hot bean juice ground on a 1 on Fellow Ode (1.1 burrs) and I was very surprised by the clarity, juiciness, and sweetness I was able to produce! Next time, I’m probably going to grind a touch coarser because my brew was a little over-extracted for my taste, but I’m super happy with it :)

Btw Lance you rock brotha. Channel on 24/7 🤙🤙🤙

Always a great video, Lance. Thanks. Any advice on how this translates to flat bottomed brewers before I attempt this on the Stagg X? Also as a general request if it isn't too much effort is it possible to share a rough micron size when recommending grind sizes?

I LOVE coffee!!!

I love coffee!

I did one try & the result is very similar with James Hoffmann technique I usually use (the same beans). The taste is balance, sweet, etc. The only difference is, my entire house (two stories) 400 m2, is full of coffee flavor which I love of course 😍😍 Will do the second try ; maybe I miss something. Also curious & will try the Hoffmann's with longer blooming time. On darker side of the roast most of the time.

alrighty Lance, I haven't watched any of your videos yet but I've heard your name a lot. Let's hope this video helps me get past my current Ethiopian stalling issue!

Cool,very useful
