I've been learning pour over, specifically so that I can make a single cup while working, which has me out in the woods with no electricity. Mostly watching this to choose a good reusable brewer. I've been just putting a store bought filter into a funnel, but I've had a lot of failures, due to having to hold the funnel, or build a stand for the funnel, which doesn't work on rocky ground.

Im here 5 years later and this video was still super helpful! Thanks for doing this and I hope you are still enjoying your passion =)

GREAT video series. Joe is knowledgeable, articulate and organized in his presentation. Thank you! Other SCG videos I've seen have been enjoyable to watch and somewhat informative. These are far better. Again, thank you.

Most concise and informative vlog on the subject I've seen today. Thanks for the info and respecting my time. Also, hand gestures and voice modulation are appreciated. I've seen at least half a dozen robots today. Well done!

Joe is like the Bill Nye of pour overs. Very informative tutorial! Keep it up, man!

You are unbelievably good at describing the taste or "results' of your coffee! WOW.

Nice explanation Joe. looking forward to the rest of your videos in this series.

Great timing!! I'm interested in making pour over coffee.

I've had clear cups out of the V60, is the Chemex really preferred? It's difficult to master. How does the Bonavita compare with the switch in pour over mode?

Hello, my small question is can I use Chanex filter with the Hario drip pot? I appreciate any answer:)

This guy is brilliant and understands coffee better than anyone I know! Great vid!

Thanks for this video. The pour over method is healthier than the French Press in the amount of oils extracted. I have the Melitta, and I will definitely start using it again I realized what I was doing wrong with it before.

love the action in your review the animation brings it to life

kudos for mentioning the woodneck! Spot on with describing the cup you get from one. I've honestly had my absolute best cups from that one... but not always repeatable. I usually use it in the afternoons when i'm already caffeinated since cleanup takes longer then brewing!

Great video, I can already see the need for different pour over systems in my future.

Already love this 3 part series!!

What do u think of a stovetop percolator for coffee?

Very informative. Thanks!

Never thought Calculus would come in handy on pour over method coffee brewing! 🤓

Very nice indeed. Looking forward to Part 2

you're awesome and helpul, thanks!

Great video! Small question. Between the chemex and the Hario you mention different filter thicknesses. Couldn't you just choose whatever filter and at that point just be choosing between more or less flow restriction or is there a pairing of the filter thickness that goes with each pour over?

Thank you for explaining the flow rate side of things. I was considering the v60 as my first but I think the kalita might work better for me, since I don't care THAT much about coffee (yet, at least lol) and I'm more likely to fuck it up, so the kalita might be the best for me (for now, at least) thank you!

Joe videos are great. Keep it up! :D

You guys are great! Just subbed

Such a great intro for a French press fan who wants to try pour over. Thank you.

GREAT CLASS!

Can you make good V 60s with water from a Zero Water filter?

Love to watch this sort of video, fascinating, informative. I love learning about coffee. However, just not sure pour over is for me. My perfect cup of coffee is a Turkish cup. I like my coffee to have a mouth feel like hot chocolate.

What size is the chemix? 6 cup or 8 cup?

I love these videos where Joe just doesn't describe the way that a specific coffee tastes. More videos just like these!

This really helped thank you

Great advise, this really helped!

You know when you play that game when someone stands behind you, you put your hands behind your back, they put their arms through your arm-holes and you both pretend that their arms are your arms?... How have you managed to recreate that as just one person?

Good video. Very informative.

This was thorough, concise and useful as fuck. Might be the best all-around video i've watched in a while. Nothing left to be desired. Most potential questions answered. Really really great! Thanks!

Haha love the animation ;)

Is this chemex 6 cups?

What's the one furthest on the right?

I was thinking about getting a pour over brewer but I feel as if I have to go to Coffee College or something how about a simple easy brew method that makes a great cup of Coffee?

Hi there, I would like to get a stainless steel paperless pour over filter, for example the "Bartelli" found on Amazon. I would like to hear you opinion on that versus the paper filter option as I like the idea of not using paper filters everyday. Another thing I am interested in is if it is possible to get crema on top of the coffee using a paperless pour over method? Thanks in advance

Thanks dude!

So Joe.... How much glassware have you accidentally smashed while talking to people around glassware?

Does flow restricted takes a long long time to flow or is it just me? I swear the coffee just drips 5 drips in 10 seconds.

Why do you say that you need a very careful pour for the Chemex ? I've used it with just normal electric kettle with good result. I mean it's easier to reproduce the exact same cup each time with thin spout pouring kettle but out of these 6 pour over devices Kalita,Hario V60 and Hario Woodneck indeed need a very careful pouring And I also highly recommend the Hario Woodneck for complex coffees such as Cup of Excellence winning coffees as you get very clean cup. Brazilian and some cleaner Indonesian coffees like Sumatra Raja Batak are also very good in the Hario Woodneck.

with regard to 'body' in pour over method, does paper filter produce lightest body, and cloth filter produce strongest body ? and metal filter in between ?

omg back

Love the video. Very informative. Screw the haters.

I find the woodneck far more forgiving than the v60 - I don't think I've ever made a bad brew on it, while the v60 has given me some frightening results if I'm "off" by any factor. Love 'em both, but I am surprised Joe puts the woodneck in last place for ease of use.

These videos are stressing me out! I'll just make my coffee and drink thanks. That said, I still want to be able to reproduce whatever Second Cup/Starbucks makes in these huge cylinders (what do people call these?). The Aeropress is good, but it's all boldness and no flavor. The siphon pot almost got me there but cloth filters are disgusting. I am waiting for my Hario V60 to ship so we'll see. I blame KZfaq for this endeavor xD

Immerkalation? Hey a new word I made just now!

I don't agree with your theory of flow restriction. The bottom hole of a Melitta style filter isn't very important for flow restriction or contact time and extraction at all, but you define the flow speed with grind size. Your grinder gives you all of control abot the flow speed you need, the amount of coffee controls the intensity of the flavor, and temperature is the instrument to find the desired balance between different components of flavor. Give it a try: Grind coffee very coarse as you would do for a french press and take it for pour-over coffee in an old-fashioned Melitta filter. The tiny hole at the bottom will never restrict flow speed enough for a proper extraction. A finer grind size will do.

what about a beehouse? those any good?

I think I'll stick with my French press. Thank you for the video!

Always in search of the better cup. After trying every brewing method known to mankind, I found my "roll your eyes in the back of my head" cup at the bottom of a Hario woodneck (quality of bean and roast withstanding). This being personal and subjective of course. You just have to work for it.

dude looks like he’s glitching out... chill man

Overall, an informative video. Although, I wish the reason why "body" is attributed to the flow restriction and I assume the immersion part of the hybrid. There are some other unclear parts but I don't think it could be covered in this video. I don't know if you can call controlling water flow by hand as "engineering." To me, parts of the video can be explained in a simpler manner, since the science is just mentioned and not explained. Not to say aspects of coffee making do not involve engineering with some chemistry knowledge but I feel that is calculated by the creator of the brewing method product and not necessarily the brewer. The video, while generally understandable, is a strange hybrid of a lot of overly positive and sometimes complicated verbs describing coffee flavor (which comes from a sales/marketing vibe), some knowledge and practical advice.

1. Grind 2. Technique 3. Coffee Beans 4. Brewer

Now we're talking!

What do you think of the Melitta Brewer?

impossible not to like this guy

The title brought me here and the bow tie kept me glued in.

Funny, given the thick filter, I find the Chemex to be more forgiving than the v60.

Perfectly timed video series; I've been looking at venturing from French press to pour over. Very informative.

I think Joe does an incredible job of going through the details. However, in all my research, I feel like his ratio might not represent the SCAA standard, which seems to be closer to 18:1 -- not 16.6:1 -- which you can read about here: www.scaa.org/PDF/SCAA-Certified-Home-Brewer-Booklet.pdf If you do the math of 1000/55 you get 18.1818....

I F%^@*# love coffee!

He doesn't seem to like hario or melitta. I love them all, done them all. He makes this sound like its driving an 18wheeler, its NOT. Damn guys, its just coffee!! Shutup and drink. Auhhhh. M, Il

This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzfaq.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

lmao at the way he described this. wtf is a meaty bodied coffee

I didn't know costume stores had a hipster section.

Just when I thought I couldn’t move past the poor guy’s jittery movements, he had to say “legitimate filter.” Then I was done.

If you like body get a French press

I've never heard a "coffee snob" talk before. I wish I could be one. My husband is my only critic and he used to chew coffee beans in the field so...not so good of a critic. Lol.

Why does he twist his whole torso like a twizzler? Dam, just stand still, I am getti dizzy.

omg very interesting but he moves a lot!

Cut those bangs boiiiii

Tokyo Ghoul

Good info but I honestly found it hard to concentrate because of your hand movements. Maybe that's just me

The way he moves his hands makes me nervous

TOO MUCH PERSONALITY. Couldn't watch past 5 minutes.

Good info but distracted by Joe's annoying antics. Maybe it's due to him overcompensating for a shop that dare calls itself "Portland Seattle Coffee Gear," so I will blame the owner.

so erratic

Love the fake science of making coffee..keeps professionals in jobs

Interesting, but sorry, it ain't brain surgery. ;-)

Your constant inflection is very distracting and then the exaggerated body movements made your video unbearable. Turned the video off after a minute and half.

Lay off the soy, bro

nerd

Very informative! Thanks!
