Aww thank you for the comments too! You're very welcome glad you liked the video!

A grid! Okay, I haven’t thought about thay thanks! I do have a coffee phin so I could test it out :3

What do you mean with "grid"?

@@mrgazillions like a flat tea strainer

I wish I understood what you are saying, but I can't picture in my mind what you are talking about. The 155 is better with a "grid," what does this mean? I have never heard of a coffee grid. What is a coffee phin?? You said there is a big difference between the 155 and 185 but didn't talk about the difference. Can you elaborate on this, and why those differences matter? If there is a big difference between the 155 or the 185, what makes someone get the 185 versus the 155? sorry to be a pain but I'm trying to learn

Single pour for everything! 😂

Yups that’s next to play with!

I have tried cold start and hot, I don’t notice a huge difference myself.

For the kalita wave 155 and the 185 as well 😅

So the size difference is just purely for like brew size. I also think smaller brewers are just better for brewing the "BEST" coffees. I think the larger the brewer the harder it is to make your coffee "perfect" so to speak. Having a larger dripper makes it so that you end up pouring from higher, which causes higher agitation (9.8m/s :P) so you end up getting a faster first drip. Also when your dripper is larger the diameter is larger so some kettles may need to be even higher up which causes a long distance for your first drip. That's something I do take into consideration heavily. I think if I want the "best" coffee possible I would use the 01, but the cup sizes are generally going to be smaller. I brew maximum 240g water on this. Where the 02's will just allow me to make larger cups for my customers so I use those!

@@kylelopez6219 The kalita would be similar to the 01 vs 02 issue ^^

Yeah most likely, I will try the BB dripper

Also the december bottomless dripper from Korea.

LMAO erics been waiting to drop this one

Let us know how it works for you!

Hey good question. I haven’t yet I’m very familiar with the melo though I have tried it out. It might actually be the perfect thing! Though I always think the rain loke part of it causes a massive amount of agitation but I’d have to test it out

@@TALESCOFFEE Check this out, uses the Gabi dripper: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZuKl8-fzp28YGQ.html

Nope not yet!

I do still expect to have a working dripper if they offer it right. I don’t have a very high opinion because I chose the metal one and I still expect it to work well. The reason I don’t like ceramics is because I do like to tap the drippers to get a good initial grind set. Ceramic ones have broken my cups/carafes even on a light tap so I avoid them. The origami is alright cause it uses a wood or plastic base.

@@TALESCOFFEE Then I think you will prefer the Tsubame version. Bottom design as the glass and ceramc, but in metal. Sadly also the most expensive one because handcrafted.

@@nicolainyenstadpetersen765 I have heard this! I do agree with this, but I only brew single cups for myself. Though I do think having a larger batch the kalita is best. I use the kalita only for 2-3 cups at once!

Yups so I’ve seen in the chat there’s soemthing I can add to prevent the clogging, I just don’t see why I need to get another device to help my dripper flow. It’s also hard to guarantee the most perfectly vertical pour to avoid uneven distribution of force on the three holes 😅

@@TALESCOFFEE not really another device just additional steps but i feel u on that. Im gonna get a v60 soon just to try the taste difference myself

Yesss! Let us know how yoh like the v60! Huge fan here. The 01 size is best for small cups, but the 02 is most convenient

You will love the video coming out this week then! Ohhh you are doing larger brews so it’s perfect yeah!

@@TALESCOFFEE I come from a world of pre ground beans and automatic drip machines, but I'm quickly venturing into the world of specialty coffee and technique. I noticed I haven't had to use as large of a dose, because using a somewhat competent pour over or French press method extracts so much more caffeine and flavor... But I do find myself missing a big pot of joe to sip on. Hence the big brew :) Thanks for the reply and helpful videos!

You’re welcome! Make sure to just ping me here if you have questions ~

😂 insomniac making a coffee related video to be watched by another insomniac 😂

Will definitely think more on the flow space. I tried wirh coarser grinds too. Maybe it’s my dripper it just ain’t flowing through well enough. The tamping is pretty funny though but maybe not the best idea. Still experimenting

@@TALESCOFFEE for sure! I’ve recently become a lot more fond of the kalita wave and had a ton of fun experimenting with it. I find that it allows me to grind finer than I would with a v60 and I often do an 18g dose to a 300g yield. Also, Scott Rao has popularized the idea of using a metal mesh placed at the bottom of the kalita wave in order to keep the filter above the brew bed and never clogging any holes. To give you context to my brewing personally, I do often bloom and do traditional style pour overs. I love your videos and I experiment and draw from your research but still do stick mostly to traditional brewing.

I think if we add something to the bottom it would make sense honestly. It would fix the flow rate issue probably. This is strictly a test with the original dripper and filter. I will definitely try a mesh under ^^

FYI on the ceramic version of the Kalita 185 the 'Y' shape at the bottom is more prominent which allows the filter to sit higher, and the holes are bigger. As a result I've never had an issue with clogging or uneven draining. You should try that one and see if it changes your opinion of the dripper, and enables you to come up with a better technique.

@@paulj.2273 yeah, the coffee chronicler did a video discussing that

Ah when I did this video my two holes weren’t dripping at all 😂 or extremely slowly. But either way I still find it a problem really .. yeah .. not a fan still 👉🏼👈🏼

Yeah I personally think cones are better too.

Yups. I plan to, also a friend of mine designed one so stay tuned for a video on his dripper! (I haven’t tried it yet who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Hahaha damn $3 USD? That’s crazy actually, Suji Wave eh? Interesting!

@@TALESCOFFEE i've just checked the official store from my country, they're bundling with the filter now 🤭🤭 so the price is IDR 75,000 or, around USD 5-6 maybe 🤭🤭

😂😂😂😂😂😂 gotta get eric to work on it
