@@LanceHedrick Only 8 minutes? Man, there’s some great stuff throughout the video. My favorite is for sure the last 4-5 minutes on TDS. I can absolutely see myself getting a refractometer later on in my coffee journey and turning this into more of a science experiment haha. I think what has surprised me the most when learning about manual pourover options is the popularity of cone shaped drippers like the V60, Chemex, etc. I would have thought that a flat bottom to allow for an even bed would objectively be better (that’s what we aim for with puck preparation in brewing espresso, right?) But it seems like the V60 is a really popular and economical option for getting started with pourovers so super excited to dive in there and see what the conical drippers are all about.

My parents are from Puerto Rico. 30 years ago or so my mom started doing a pourover using a cloth filter due to the fact that her coffee machine had failed and she wanted to have coffee that very day. That coffee, mere Folgers from a can, was spectacular! (Especially after the cloth filter had been seasoned with a couple of brews.) It was a lot of work though, and the cloth filter was retired after a new coffee maker was obtained.

Absolutely outstanding Lance. As I brew mainly with Chemex, I am looking forward to learning some new things in your upcoming Chemex video. A couple of challenges I have encountered with Chemex are: 1) stalling, 2) filter paper blocking spout, 3) total time not being affected by grind (I.e. grinder coarser does not necessarily result in shorter brew time), 4) large batches (72-75g coffee to 1200g water) are difficult. I recently changed my grinder from Lido 3 to Lagom P64 with high uniformity burrs and have noticed a decent uptick in taste, I hope to experiment with Unimodal burrs soon. I think many of the challenges with pour over relate to grind quality.
@baconman9418 9 ай бұрын
I know it's been a year, but I'm curious why you use a chemex when you've noted so many issues? It seems odd to have such a nice grinder and even upgraded burrs and then assume the issue is the grind quality despite knowing the chemex is a challenging brewer.

@@LanceHedrick I'm personally more into espresso right now. But when I do brew with my pour over, I reach for my Chemex pretty much exclusively. I like the ultra bonded filters that they use and the cup I get. I can get a pretty similar cup on my v60 but in a side by side tasting, I almost always like the Chemex flavors more, especially with a fruity ethiopian or a peaberry. My favorite Chemex brew I've done was with an ethiopian from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters in DFW and it literally tasted like a blueberry pie a la mode. Very rich and probably one of my favorite beans.

Would love to learn how to get better coffee out of my Aero Press. My experience is that it has been overhyped…doesn’t make enough coffee and the coffee it does make, regardless of how much I mess with variables, tends to be weak/bitter (you can only dose so much and fill so much and it’s fidgety). I travel with a hand grinder, scale, a collapsible electric kettle and an Aero Press, so this would be most helpful. On a recent trip to Panama, after buying some very expensive Geisha, I bagged the Aero Press and bought a pour over setup at a local coffee shop in Panama City…lol.

The more I watch these videos, the more I think I just need to do immersion brewing. There's so many variables to deal with when doing percolation.

You're not wrong, but the cups are incomparably cleaner and more nuanced for the most part

@@LanceHedrick Does percolation just pull out more nice flavors or is it the paper filter adding clarity and nuance? Cause I'm fine with pouring an immersion brew through a filter to clean it up. I just want to do each coffee justice and sometimes it's frustrating hunting for that ideal recipe, because of all the variables.
@LanceHedrick 3 жыл бұрын
So, think if it this way. When you percolate, you are pouring hot water over the bed, and it leaves. Then you pour more clean water into a partially spent bed and can extract more. Then it drains, and you replenish with clean water again. With immersion, you extract with coffee essentially.

Hey Lance, Great video. Just a suggestion for the future: Many people, like me, consume video content in a dark-ish room, so blasting white-background diagrams feels like someone blasting their headlights at you on a dark side road, so maybe a dark background with light diagrams next time? keep up the good work, looking forward to this series

Great content. I just subscribed! I would love to get your take on the clever/bonavita immersion drippers. I've heard Rao say negative things about them but Hoffman has been positive. For me, I tend to use the clever for darker roasts and v60 for light roasts. I'm curious how you would use and get the most out of the clever.
@LanceHedrick 3 жыл бұрын
For sure! I enjoy the clever quite a bit.

About bypassing in a V60, it's because that's not how V60 and the likes are designed to be used. The side flows are great features of V60 style drippers. To take advantage of it, you would, instead of creating a flat brew bed, create a crater shaped brew bed. Water would filter through coffee at the bottom and all around the wall. This gives you more layers in flavor. Also, because there are less grounds at the tip, less chance for clogging. The challenge is in finding the right shape of crater to your taste and figuring out how to create it with your pours.
@LanceHedrick Жыл бұрын
Sure. I understand the intent of a v60. Japanese brewing traditional relies on heavy bypass in order to tame the harsh flavors of darkly roasted coffees. I don't think I ever say this is a brewer flaw, but moreso something that is not ideal for those of us who, increasing in number, enjoy lighter coffees. Bypass causes extreme inconsistency. Also, the crater to which you refer has its own host of issues re: extraction. Of course, for dark coffee, it is fine. But, for anything lighter, it is not ideal. Cheers and thanks for watching

I would like a video explaining the theoretically optimal grind settings as you fill up the cone. For example, finer at the top and coarser at the bottom, or vice versa. you could also explore radially- close to center column vs wall layer. Yes- I am an engineer.
@LanceHedrick 3 жыл бұрын
I feel this probably wouldn't do too well as a video. This wouldn't really work well in general because of the issue if water moving to the path of least resistance. So, if radially, coarse grounds are in the center, water will prefer the center and avoid the edges and vice versa. Above and below, either way, would be rough for the simple fact that you'll have overextracted grounds and underextracted grounds. This is why the most uniform size is always preferred, even knowing the gradient that forms in a conical drawdown.
