Thank you for sharing these. I just tried the April recipe on a coffee that I roasted that I haven’t enjoyed as much as some others, and the April recipe made it a lot more balanced and pleasant.

Thanks for sharing Brian! I’ve been enjoying the April recipe with a slightly slower pour, and then waiting until around 1:00 for the second pour. The longer rest seems to get a stronger cup and is really nice with soft water.

Thanks for the thoughtful video Brian, I have the blue April filter and use the Kalita papers which I also find can clog so mitigate with courser grind size, my current brew is 18g 80x80x80g pour for a long white coffee. Used Costa Rica Solis Cordero Medina beans this morning dark roasted, very nice too! 👍

Loving the April Brewer content! Your last video prompted me to pick one up (like I needed another brewer :/ ) but I’m loving the April and it’s my daily driver now.

I'm remember you telling us about this recipe before Rolf uploaded a video on his "updated recipe with more structure"!

Great video, excited to try your recipe with Sey. Love the original recipe for Diego Manhattan too, 92c is perfect! I feel like I have to adjust temperature a lot on the April, especially with various elevations on Sey, worth a discussion.

Big fan of Patrik’s method, mine usually brew about 1:30-2m and noticed yours was 1:30 too but the result is never under extracted which is good. Will give yours a go.

Got an April brewer recently and just did a blind test between default April and your recipe for Tim Wendelboe’s Kenya Karinga. Preferred your recipe hands down! Thanks so much!

I use April’s recipes but with a finer grind size and only circle pours. It’s been the most consistent way I’ve made filter coffee so far. I love this brewer.

I've been using your recipe (50 - 50 - 30:70) for some time now (@12g) but for more heavily processed coffees I revert back to the currently recommended April recipe (50:50 - 50:50) and 13g dose. One big change for me was to start using Cafec V60 filters in the April. It's basically 2 folds, takes no time (I can easily do this and hand grind my coffee before the water gets to my desired temperature) and it gives you a much quicker flow. April with V60 papers is my daily driver, sometimes I will reach for the Hario Switch just to keep things interesting but I always start my day with April.

Thanks Brian! Definitely psyched to try this when I get back from a trip. Where are you on a P100 HU for these recipes?

One of the fun things about coffee is experimenting. Recipes varying from day to day based on mood, patience (how fast do I need that coffee!!), coffee brewed, etc. The only consistency in brewing I’m looking for is “when I want it ‘that’ way, I want it ‘that way’”.

Great video Brian. Have you tried the Timemore B75 at all? I was a big April fan but gave the b75 a go using essentially the same recipe as you, with some swirls. And the b75 gives a big boost to acidity and a bolder representation of most coffees to me. I really like the small size too just like the April

Damm that's the recipe I've been using as well for the exact same reason! I'm using the kalita papers that come in the cardboard packaging, they're much better than the ones in the transparent plastic packaging. With very fresh coffees, I sometimes let it bloom for 1 min to get a faster drawdown.

When you use the Rolfcipe, what water temp are you using typically? I've had the same experience as you though where i find the heavily processed coffees really shine with the Rolfcipe. I've tried your version too and have enjoyed it. I'll have to try it specifically on some washed coffees though, I haven't done that yet.

Brian have you picked up a MK Dripper? If so would love to see some brews on that as well ^_^

nice video . would like to see how to apply these 2 methods on a v60

What do you think about doing similar to April's recipe on cone drippers?

Time for a Patreon. Also I see that next level brewer, are you going to do a vid on this?

How well do you think this would work in something like an Orea?

what grind size would you use with the fellow ode gen 2? What water temperature?

What about using this with the Orea V3?

Ayo, I saw you share this recipe in the espresso discord and thought it would be cool if this was a video topic. Feeling blessed rn. Now all I gotta do is actually make the trip out to April’s showroom and grab myself the brewer and filters…

You Need A Spooon !! 🥄

Hi Brian, what if I brew 20g coffee with 300ml water according to your new method?

I just picked up an April brewer and saw this recipe right after I ordered. I am going to try this recipe and a couple James Perry recipes. BTW I found S&W Roasting from the first video of yours that I watched. I was so surprised! 30 minutes from where I live

Tried this with a natural anaerobic from Yemen. Finished at 02:10 with medium grind-fine, 94c. Not a good brew, muted flavor with some bitterness. What should be tweaked?

Deja Vu, did you repost this video or make it a short already? I swear I have seen you explain this before

Love how you called the April recipe as the "Rolf-cipe" haha

Any thoughts on performance of this brewer compared to the orea v3? Thanks!

I agree with having more than just 2 pours to increase agitation/extraction. I currently do: 13g coffee x three 70g pours

Patrik introduced the same recipe a month ago… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jauEh6192te6lo0.html

Brian, did you make this video just for me? Coz my April brewer just arrived in the mail today...

Grind into a portafilter dosing cup, seal it, shake it only vertically, open, put your filter upside down on it and flip both together. Your fines will be on top of your grind in the paper filter and hardly clog it

Hey, are you sure you can trust that TDS difference? It's a 0.03% difference between the two recipes and I kinda have strong suspicions about whether that's significant enough considering the precision of the device and the possibility of human error.

Patrik said that the speed at which is he pours is optimized for competition setting, where time matters. I'm not sure why everyone treds so lightly when modifying his recipe for home use or individual tastes.

April aims for 1.25tds. mine Clogs every time with light roast and the April filters. Hate this brewer

You need any help drinking all that coffee hiding in the back?
