same here!

That depends on your Grinder profile. If It generates much fines, grinding finer will only make things worse.

I've been curious about Oxo's version. But yes, it seems like the turbulence and coverage could need a bit of a redesign.

Great to hear! Pretty much sums up my experience

What’s your go-to method with the drip assist?

@@hog_hedge I will usually do a 20g or 25g dose. But, use the same method for both. (I just adjust the ratios). I grind. (hard to tell you what size as beans and grinders will all be different). I pre-rinse filter. Then, I WDT the bed. Then I place the Hario DA on top. Tare. I do usually about a 30g pour inside/outside of DA to saturate the bed. Then I wait 1 min. Then I do about a 50g pour and then swirl. Then I wait 30 seconds. Then I do long slow pours on the outside of the DA. What I'm going for is a bed at the bottom remaining relatively undisturbed, and a nice layer of water on top. The idea is it should look like a lake, where the water is clear, and you can see down to the bottom. I generally keep the layer of clear water about 1-2 inches above the bed. If it starts getting higher, I pause for a bit and then return. I stop pouring when I've hit my ratio. I personally, usually go for a 1:17 ratio. But, that's just what I tend to like. Including the 1min bloom (and mini 30 sec second bloom), my brews tend to finish between 4-4:30. That's what works for me. Hope that helps. -Brent

Kindly inform,the outer diameter &inner diameter of the mason jar rings,as the adaptor between DripAssist and 1-cup dripper. Thank you.

Outer diameter is 8.7 cm, inner is 7.7 cm, thickness is 3 cm. @@ekosugitowidjajaseputro1175

Thanks, Micco. That's an interesting idea, actually! I think I would put my bet on this one.

The looks? It is a coffee tool that you put away in the cabinet or a drawer after using. It is not a display piece. Same goes for melodrip.

Actually haven't tried it, but maybe in the future!

Grind size for medium roast please.

try 500+ microns with assisted osmotic recipe.

@@T.H.Kim94 thanks

I got mine shipped from Japan

Thanks, that's great to hear. The DA only has a good fit on Wave 185.

Thanks! For the Wave, I'd probably use it for soft percolation during the last phase as in my old Wave recipe video

Don't think you can get the Oxo device outside the US. And of course, there's also a difference in shape: cone vs trapez.

I usually find myself grinding "a couple of clicks" finer, but it also depends on the overall turbulence introduced via the center pours

It's a great grinder, so you can grind fine if you want. However, even with grinders like this one, it's worth experimenting with coarse grounds for certain beans.

@@coffeechronicler Thanks. I am always game for some experimentation. Coffee gurus like you and others have definitely encouraged the "mad scientist" in me.

It will rest an inch inside the cone. Not perfect, but it can definitely work

If you already have it, it's still great. I'm talking more about new users who have to decide which one to get. Assuming Gabi will be more expensive, harder to find and might have QC issues. Flow wise the biggest difference between them is that you can't really create agitation with Gabi so you need to introduce kettle streams or shaking for that. With Drip Assist you can get sufficient turbulence with the center stream. I planned to mention this in the video but forgot :)

@@coffeechronicler got it with manual agitation. Would you recommend grinding finer than with Hario Assist? And a different brewing recipe?

@@Waisonian The way I usually use it, is with kettle pour(s) for the first 30-50% total volume and maybe some stirring/shaking. In that scenario, you don't need to grind especially fine. But if you exclusively use Gabi for all the water, you'd need a quite fine grind size to get proper extraction. This can taste outstanding with the right coffee, by the way!

@@coffeechronicler great tip! Would love to see a comparison video of the two brewing the same coffee!

Yes, the bigger one, not sure about 1-cup

I'm unsure whether it would fit that big of a dripper. However, although a slightly different concept, the Melodrip would be great for this.

Mainly, but probably a good idea to sprinkle a bit in the center as well.

Don't have one, but my guess is no

Due to the fins, it has an awkward fit on drippers that aren't round. However, you can easily swap Moccamaster's basket for a V60 and use it with that one. I have done that before :)

Sure, there are a couple of cheaper kettle alternatives. I think I meant that this also takes away some of the learning curve and get you to a decent place right away.

@@coffeechronicler That, it certainly looks like it does, I can't deny that :)

Not the ones I tested; Kono, Hario, Kalita...

There is the Karlsbad coffee maker in ceramic. And also a newer one in glass, that I don't remember the name of.

@@coffeechronicler Thank you for the response. I did not know about the Karlsbad, they look very exciting. Maybe the other brewer you are thinking of is the "Pure over"?
