MY DAILY BREWER: Kono Dripper and My Two Recipes
Рет қаралды 71,478
Күн бұрынMost days, I pull the Kono Dripper out for my cup of coffee. It's easy, forgiving, and consistent. Try these recipes out! If you don't have a Kono, try really blasting water into a small V60 to get the paper as suctioned to the walls (inside the crevices) as possible! With enough force, you can almost replicate this!

Lance! Thank you for sharing about the Kōno! I love it! I got mine a while back after watching your video. I'm finding amazing brews with a single pour method. I just ground some Light medium roasted Costa Rican Tarrazu red honey processed coffee at a setting just courser than espresso with a 1Zpresso Q2. Using a cafec Abaca brown filter paper. Using water just off boil. Made a single pour at a fairly fast pour rate (similar to the pour on Hario's Mügen V60 video). Total brew time was just about 1 minute. (Kudos to 1Zpresso) Tastewise, It does seem on the very high side of extraction. Highly floral, good sweetness. Keeping with the same variables except grind size... Slightly more course grind introduces even more sweetness and acidity. And more course than that, more acidity, no/low florals, as you might expect. I got a very high extraction tasty brew! I've had such great results with this dripper just about every different way I've brewed with it. It works great with light through dark roasts. Single, double, triple pours. The only way I've brewed a bad cup with the Kōno is the 1st few times I couldn't seem to get the paper filter to stick to the sides of the dripper. Now pressing the filter deeper in and using the sink tap to wet it... no problems. Thanks for that high flow paper wetting tip! Great video, my broski! Thanks again

After a couple of years using V60, I got my hands on a Kono, and I made a funny discovery. I expected, that because of the lower bypass and longer brewtime, I have to grind significantly courser in order not to overextract. But in my experience, I can grind even finer than with V60 and have a suprisingly nice cup of coffee. My theory is that in case of the V60, if you use too fine grounds, you increases the amount of bypass because of the higher resistence of the coffee bed, which causes the grounds on the edges to overextract, and the middle to underextract. With the Kono, it extracts the coffee more evenly, because the water cannot bypass the coffee bed, so even if you overextract a little bit, it will taste good.

I just got the Kono, because of this video. And must say, it is an amazing brewer and recipe from you! I tried it with 2 ethiopian light roasts, had a longer draw down with the hario untabbed of around 8 to 9 minutes (ground on the 1zpresso q2 heptagonal at a 15) so still need to adjust the parameters a bit. Nonetheless it was really delicious and just a tad of bitter notes which will probably disappear on further dialing in.

I don’t have a Kono so I tried this with a V60 and as another commenter already mentioned it gave me an extremely juicy cup. I dosed up a little bit more (15/250) and followed the recipe from there. It was delicious. I used the Ethiopia Beriti from Onyx which I’ve been enjoying a ton, but this provided such a different texture in the cup. Absolutely worth a try if anyone else out there wants to give this a go but doesn’t have a Kono. Thanks, Lance! Edit: I followed the 1st recipe.

Bought one because of this video (Sadly, only the pink one was available. My girlfriend loves it though) and the I didn't expect the difference to my V60 to be this huge. Pretty much same recipe (4:6) 20g/300ml and just now I brewed 12g/200ml. Slightly weaker but clearer, I think? I'm not good at coffee speak 😄 Gonna go a bit finer (currently 3.0 on a M47 Classic) and and experiment more but I'm flabbergasted how much the dripper does for taste. Might buy a aeropress as well now and explore more.

Your trick for wetting the paper with a big pour of water helps with the V60 too. With a normal slow pour from the kettle to wet it, sometimes it doesn't stick evenly down in the bottom half where most of the brewing goes on, which I think probably hurts extraction and consistency.

Lance, Thanks for the recipes. I’m an espresso lover and just starting to get into pour overs. I have an Organic Peruvian coffee that I just don’t love as espresso. I tried your pour over recipe to enhance sweetness and extraction. It was good, but when I tried your 2nd recipe to enhance acidity, this coffee really popped - super delicious! I enjoy learning strategies to tweak the cup to enhance different elements. Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how long to rest a coffee after roasting. I’ve been roasting (usually Full City to Full City+), but I start drinking them after a day or two. I notice I got a LOT of bloom when making this as a pour over. The coffee was roasted about 4 days ago. Should I be resting longer?

Hey Lance, I've had my large Kono for a few weeks and I'm getting very tasty results but I often get clogging (6+ min brews) which I think is from the extra agitation of the high pour for turbulent flow. I'm using 23g to 390 water. I do use 3 pours after the 2 bloom pours. Would you suggest changing the pour style to be less turbulent or maybe I should cut back to 2 pours? Another option would be grinding coarser but that doesn't eliminate fines. Thoughts?

I would be less aggressive on swirling! That's more than likely what is causing the clogging, not turbulence. But, you could also try pouring with more laminar flows near the end!

@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын
What you have to consider is what he is doing, even with stirring, is using one dump of water. So, similar to a french press. Multi pour allows fresh water to be introduced each time. You will get much higher extractions doing that. Single pour simply can't attain the same levels, tbh
@dylanbeschoner 2 жыл бұрын
@@LanceHedrick that makes sense. But I guess under-extracted is different from less extracted. We can grant that maximum possible extraction is higher with multi pours but that doesn't mean a single pour will taste under-extracted which sounds to me like a claim about taste. Your explanation of why multi pour setups have inherently more extraction potential is really insightful tho. Also, I really enjoy the content and appreciate you engaging with me. Like I said, I find it much more difficult to get great cups with the single pour, but I have on occasion had really good ones
@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын
Considering underextracted is also a relative term, I don't think I'm necessarily in the wrong saying it. In fact, it has recently been proven that grounds don't even fully saturate to their inner most core until 2 min assuming a micron size of sub 800. So, if pouring without a bloom, and only doing a single pour, you're likely really underextracting in relative to normal extractions. Even if you were to say 18% is proper extraction (which isn't for me), I'd say this is likely under that, even. And 18-22 had long been the standard. Just depends how you cut the term.

Even with darker roasts? 2nd would it be better using a 2 min blooming and keeping the rest of the recipe the same? 3rd laminar vs turbulent flow, which one to choose when using that V60 recipe? It looks like you used a laminar flow there. 4th would you keep the little swirls just behind the center when using a gooseneck kettle in the V60 recipe? 5th any chance on making an improved V60 recipe video considering these coffee geek information you stated on the Kono video?

If I were to brew a "full" batch with the Kono so I can split the cup with my wife, would you just double all coffee/water amounts and keep the timing and grind the sale, or should I adjust otherwise?

I really don’t see any recipes for the V60-03 size. Do you have an recommendations for this size? Thank you!

Hi Lance this one is cool. A 2min bloom that is long. Curious to test this. I have a regular kettle. I cannot hold temp that long. So I would have to reheat it on full power again after the first bloom. But you drop temp a bit on the third pour right? I may let it go by then or else I would do a double boil and have constant high temperature. Or is there an other thing use people with a standard (non temp control) goose neck can do?
@LanceHedrick 2 жыл бұрын
There is an important study coming up to prove this saturation point for LRR. And I would reheat to fill for second bloom then let temp go down naturally for rest

The light roast cafec papers are similar to kinto in that they both have crepeing on both sides of the paper but the pattern is different and cafec papers are slightly faster.

This is not what you said in a previous comment discussion here and the video. Was there any difference between Gagne's book and his blog post concerning the pour height "at the splattering sound" or "just above the splattering sound". Do I have to hear the splattering sound or not?
