Hi Lance, your advice worked for me. I had a cup this morning that was good but "a little hollow". My usual reaction would have been to simultaneously adjust ratio, grind and temperature for the next cup. Instead, I just increased the bloom by 15 secs (as the beans were roasted last week) and poured a little more vigorously, and voila - managed to improve the cup. Thank you!

Elemental Coffee Roasters has a 10+year old video on how to brew with a Chemex and it’s always been my absolute favorite “recipe” for the Chemex. I see a lot of similarities. I like how you’re not afraid to push bloom times past the often blindly, parroted 30-45 seconds and explain why and what to look at during it. You explain things very well like a scientist that knows what they’re talking about. Great video with a wealth of knowledge.

They displayed a pour from a couple inches above the V60 and a pour about 8 inches above and the bed was churned remarkably more by the shorter pour. Seemed as if less energy was absorbed by the surface and the stream was able to reach deeper into the bed when it was poured closer to the surface. Obviously the rate at which you pour (angle of the kettle from the twist of your wrist) would be another factor to consider as well. Thanks Lance for the fun watch :)

Not sure if you’ll be able to answer this, but I’ve been regularly getting Square Mile coffee as well as Fellow Drops (so generally using medium and lighter roasts). But in the summer I typically gravitate towards iced coffee and I’d love to see something like this for iced coffee as well (or just your perspective in a comment as I feel like it’s not too far off from this dialing in process). I struggle getting the extraction right to account for the ice melting (I use the method of pouring directly over ice). I usually get a perfectly drinkable cup, but sometimes I feel it’s difficult not to either over extract (bitterness) or under extract (pretty weak flavor). I do prefer an underextracted brew because I don’t mind a more “tea-like” cup, but I haven’t found too many great guides for iced coffee that align with my tastes. Although, this was very informative and I did incorporate some of this into the iced coffee I just brewed and it did turn out very balanced so maybe this is all I needed! 😅

I’d be curious to hear your general approach for lightly roasted natural ethiopians. Do you favor more or less agitation since there’s the issue of lots of fines with ethiopians countering the need for greater agitation for light roasts. Do you generally find natural ethiopians to be better at the lower ends of your extraction range? I ask because of all the coffees these are definitely the ones I and others seems to have the most consistent issue getting good cups with.
