I'm privileged to work in the same building as Joe Bean Roasters and LOVE the attention to detail that they put in to every cup! Staggeringly good coffee, every time. And they'll take the time to explain things at the level of detail in this video to anyone who asks any time. Really cool group of people.

this guy is a good barista as well as more importantly a Very Humble person and that is the best part..

That's a good guy right there. Hard working man. Respect brother.

i wonder what the elon musk in the background is thinking so hard about.

I dig this post. I work at Southside Espresso in the Midtown area of Houston. We do slow bars such as this sometimes. I love that he talked about his methods being done with a great deal of finess. Chefs make incredible dishes weighing every ingredient they use and making sure temperatures are accurate. They do this so that they can write a recipe and repeat thier results exactly and consistently. Scientists make sure that all the variables that could be kept fixed are fixed so that they could replicate thier results consistently. Perhaps our friend here sounded a bit pretentious to some people be he is trying to get a great point across. In society we leave good bread to the bakers and good tech support to technicians. Why not leave good coffee to baristas? He is trying to get the message out that the coffee takes THAT MUCH MORE EFFORT to get you THAT MUCH MORE FLAVOR. Also, visit local coffee shops. They don't make much money but they know their stuff and they love what they do. At least I know i do.

3:12-3:42, first pour to second pour, exactly 30 seconds like he says. This answered a big question for me. I was not waiting long enough, and the taste was extremely under-extracted. You can also smell the difference after about 20 seconds, you smell the sweetness and richness of the grounds so you know it's time to pour. Great vid, thanks Joe! You talk about/do it like it's second nature. Really appreciate this expertise. Edit: Thanks Whole Latte Love, too!

Thanks.....nice job. We are Five Lakes Coffee Roasters of northern Michigan. We understand why you put so much care into preparing coffee.

The art of pour over coffee by Joe Bean coffee roaster is really amazing. I really like the way they've done it over time and all the specifications are educative as well.

The dude in the background alone looks like he's a coffer drinker expert or he thought he was having vodka shots.

Thank you Joe Bean Coffee Roasters for a great presentation!

Great explanation of his method. I've ran the gamut of counter-top coffee machines and French press experimentation and finally arrived at hand-drip about a year ago. The level of control is absolutely greater which gives you the ability to adjust and find those nuanced flavors in your coffee. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

The best reason is that... we put so much effort for your coffee is that we find love in our crafts just to get your best coffee that you deserve...

I would love to know what this guy could ever do to make you mad. Like, he's so sweet and humble. To anyone who ever picked a fight with this guy? Guess what, you were wrong ☺️

They have amazing pour over. Their Nicaragua Don Roger is just excellent!

To everyone who think this is a hipster trend, think about craft beer. You have pilsner, brown ale, red ale, stout, cream ale, lagger etc. So many different flavors and no one tells you you're a hipster for not liking Budweiser or Coors light, so why can't it be the same with coffee. People already drink lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos so why can't people get pour overs?

this guy has real passion for coffee.

I like how much he loves this craft, a lot of passion and care here.

I love that guy in the back tasting the coffee and thinking to himself: "the the hell is this fuss all about? It's just coffee, stop filming me"

wow...you guys really think he's a hipster? This man owns and runs a coffee shop. He clearly wants to give each customer only the very best. Pour over coffee is widely known to be the best form of coffee. I am not a hipster at all, and I make all of my coffee for guests with pour over, and I had guests that usually add cream to coffee drink it black instead- raving about how flavorful it is. Does Folgers auto drip have it's time and place? Sure, I use it on Sunday mornings when I'm in a rush, and it is delicious to me, but nothing beats the relaxing process of pouring coffee over grounds and watching that almond brown froth bubble up into your senses. Handmade gives a fine touch of love that so much in this world lacks.

That was amazing! You go by the numbers and the numbers never never lie. Precision and attention to detail is a Lost Art form these days... you got it spot on😃... thanks for posting this and all the best!

Well done! Great to see someone who cares about his work. Thank you!

When this was uploaded this may have been seen as over fussy, now seven years later this is the norm. Some people are even more fussy! You guys were ahead of the game. I expect you've continued learning and still are!

Cool, thanks for a well explained run through of the pour over.Nicely done

I have watched this vid several times.. it is a great vid. And Ben is an impressive salesman for the best of coffee. Thanks, Ben.

There is something very soothing and meditative about doing this process every morning for me

I dig the process and love people who get into their passions.

Whole Latte Love--thanks for this video. I have been using pour over method for years. I somehow got a plastic travel size that I carried with me everywhere along with filters. I prefer a bad cup of pour over than a bad cup from a dirty coffee maker. I have read how to do this before: use filtered water, keep the water from boiling, wet the filter, measure the coffee, wet the coffee, and pour slowly and evenly. This gentleman has elevated this to an art. I will save and refer to it. Thanks!

I have always been intrigued by different coffee making techniques and styles. I started off on an auto drip, then got my first French press a couple years ago. Love the flavor and boldness from the French press. Decided to try a pourover with espresso roast and now that is all I get when I go out for coffee. It is definitely much more balanced, and flavorful than a coffee machine.

After some months into coffee brewing I found again the video that inspired me to get serious about coffee

He makes coffee as if every sip you take will make cry tears of joy

This video just popped up in my feed and the memories! This was the video I watched to learn the pour over method. Time flies.

Using a Chemex is just such a beautiful experience. The design to it and the process is just pure art. It makes preparing coffee so much fun, and after experimenting with many different methods of making coffee, I just don't find the same exact taste anywhere else. Pour over style is definitely the process that kept pulling me back after trying other methods, and I have made it my #1 favorite type of coffee ever since.

Passion is the key to success, thanks for making this great tutorial:)

In this video: apparently rocket science

The passion this guy has for coffee is astonishing and fascinating

still excellent. thank you, Ben.

yeah this is another way of doing a cup of coffee i love it

what a cool guy!

My first Pour Over was at Thinking Cup on Newbury in Boston (recommended by a new friend), earlier this week. I chose an Ecuadorian bean. I'd say the process took less than 5 mins, though I didn't time it. I was intrigued by the method as I'd never heard of it but was interested. Now, watching this video has explained every question I had concerning the method. Well done! I really drink tea more than coffee but I am going to purchase the items required to brew pour overs so I can enjoy a cup every so often. A great conversation while entertaining guests is another reason why I love the method! Another Boston hot spot for pour overs is Barismo...checking it out next time I'm in bean town.

This is without a doubt, the best pour over brew video I have ever seen. The guy is the real deal

Great video. Thanks!

Great video! I love coffee as a nice drink to have on weekday mornings or before I head to work ( graveyard shift ) I want more out of my coffee so pour-coffee is the next step for me. And this video was super helpful with the process! Thank you!

When it comes to coffee, the details make all the difference. People often don't think they do, but the more time you take learning and improving it becomes clear that really is the case. It's worth taking the time to improve your quality of life. I never even knew what I was missing until I delved deeper into it

Thank you ! Very well presented with usable information !

The many negative comments here are interesting ... apparently the Zen of simple things done well and attentively is a quickly dying art in our fast paced instant gratification world. Too bad .... god is in the details.

Hahaha wow man he wasn't kidding, he LOVES consistency!

Excellent informative video- The flavor from the our over method is so pure, so wonderful!!

I didn't know if I could trust this man and then I saw the flat cap and I knew ... he GETS IT.

This guy Ben is the best pour over specialist in youtube. Believe me I watched it all.

wow! learned a lot - thanks for this!

Thank you for the video. My hubby and I love coffee. We have never had one made like this but are intrigued by the flavor difference the precise measurements would have on a cup. We will have to give this a try.

Awesome video and explanation of process. Some people just have a deep and intimate connection with coffee, from the time it starts to grow to the very end of the little bean's life within the cup.

nice technique mate, its n art well done!

The three big methods of extraction have their own interest: pouring, pressure and infusion. There is a lot of ways of making coffee. See turkish or cuban coffee for example. These two are with foam. The paper filter doesn't give you that foam nore the "oil" of the coffee. It's a matter of taste. Some people want a clean coffee. My best methods for now are the cow-boy coffee and the french press with foam. For the cow-boy coffee, just drop the coffee powder at the surface of the hot water and do not mix; juste move de mug a little. And for the french press, first put some water on the coffee powder, wait for the gaz to escape, then put the rest of water. Before you press, take out the foam with a spoon and put it in your cup. Turkish coffee is really good also, with a generous foam.

What sort of thermometer is this (brand, any other relevant information)? Thank-you in advance.

Thanks for going over this stuff. I'm slowly becoming a real coffee lover. Once you taste freshly ground, correctly brewed coffee it's so hard to go back. People that insist on loading it with flavoring haven't had it prepared properly. Great video.

A lot of people saying hipster. Hipster is being different for th sake of being different. Properly brewed coffee is amazing. I prefer Aeropress though

I love the attention to detail. This was fascinating to watch.

I invested in a Hario V60 like the one in the video. What I love is that it is small and doesn't take up much space (dorm room kitchen man) and that it makes a an almost sweet coffee (as someone who likes sweet coffee with milk, I just add a bit of milk). If you are considering buying a pour over thingy, I recommend the buying the gooseneck kettle 100% because using my standard electric kettle to pour is hell. And also, think about time. While it is worth it, it does take some time.

Ty for showing the coffee grinds as you do this video!

Guys if you get a kettle as shown in the video, make sure it is dry when not in use. Rust.

great video for the pour over, nice job

Great and the most detailed video about a good coffee in YT. Did it his way and got an amazing result.

Now this is a guy who knows how to make coffee the proper way. STEP by STEP with high concentration, precision and consistency with each drop, like a systems analyst. Great job!

This was a really good pour-over tutorial. It answered a lot of questions I've had since I've started doing pour-over at home with a Kalita Wave. I've read that a good, standard ratio is 25 grams of fresh ground to 350 grams of water. Does that sound about right?

@Ted Miles Thermometer is similar to this:www.wholelattelove.com/products/frothing-thermometer-32d390ee-8e57-4acf-b112-74f81e2d24a5

I am new to the art of pour over coffee, but found the detail in your process very helpful. When it's right, coffee can be the most satisfying beverage. You appear to have it sorted, sir.

Thank you Sir, excellent tutorial. Best of luck with your coffee shop.

Ziltoid demands your finest cup of coffee! :D

Do a simple thing. Do that simple thing in an extraordinary way.

This was great. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the great explanation, great job!!!!

Lot of negative comments in this thread. Gotta love all the people who, with zero experience, just have to chime in with their enlightened commentary. I guess some people live their lives with low expectations never thinking there might be a better way. Suppose that's why there's Crapswell House coffee.

Great video. Love the guy inte the background. Looks so relaxing and just contemplating about life in general :)

OMG Keep the dome moist and even and the bed level... Could this be the revelation I've been waiting for?? I'll let you know!! Thank you for the fabulous post, and to Cafe ad astra for directing me here!!

Love what you’re doing. Keep it going 💪🏽

Not a fan of the hipster scene but I have to admit it's a big difference over my previous morning drip machine brew, like night and day.

I’m getting a Ryan Gosling vibe from this guy.

Very pleasant and informative video. I've watched people do this but usually not right in front of me and it was great to know the "why" of things. I have been French pressing just because I don't want the waste, but since I compost now I am definitely going to try this now that I know how. Thank you

Interesting vid, any tips for avoiding the well/dip in the coffee bed when pouring?

insightful video. the spoon routine seems like a good twist.

nice presentation, covers all the parameters well! I esp like his weighing the brewed mass, which is important for true consistency.

Thank you for sharing this! I reference it a lot to continue getting the best brew I can.

Thank Ya man... Very informative and I will try this on my next cup. Thank you thank you

the stainless steel container that the coffee is weighed in--what is it called and where do i get one?

That's it? man its about time to start brewing my coffee home!! Starbucks is too much money...Thanks a lot Subscribed ;)

Great video, thank you so much!

Awesome... gotta get some of that coffee.

My Grandma was so proud of her plastic made coffeemachine in the early 70's...

Why can’t people be nice picking on the guy in the background or the wonderful young man making coffee is unnecessary. Don’t like it turn it off. Thanks for a great job.

This is awesome

This guy is really proud of his shop, good on you! 👍🏼☕️☕️☕️🍪🍪

please try cofe from indonesia

The froth development is impressive for coffee.

Well done; I'm glad you mentioned the amount of water at the end.

where did you get the tiny thermometer that fits in the kettle? What brand and model? Thanks.

I tend to use a 1gram to 10ml ratio. I find that for single origins you get more of the specific flavors into the cup.

Looks great, I find it especially enjoyable brewing a cup of coffee "right' (as much as I can get it without being too elaborate), and then drink it throughout the day :/, I brew into a thermos. The first sip is always the best, then the aromas tend to dissipate

Thanks Joe that's the best explanation of v60 without over complicating

thank's for share ...
