I would never dream of not having enough time to do pour over. Life is too short. Takes 5 minutes if you have an electric kettle and an automatic burr grinder
I switched to cold brew during the first couple of months of my daughter's life because I needed something strong and immediate, but otherwise I will always be pour over for life
Just to add, a Chemex is so incredibly easy to clean. Rinse it out after every use and occasionally clean with a bottle brush
Didn't make it out to the farms this trip to Panama but did grab a few bags at the Riba Smith. Unido - cafe arabica en grano house blend of catuai & caturra Lamastus Elida Estate - catuai honey process They were out of the narural process whole bean that I like. Janson - geisha natural process
Damn it. I think a big reason I haven’t spent big bucks on a espresso machine is I’m afraid I’ll never produce a quality pull. Sticking to my pour overs for now and grab an espresso when I go to a coffee shop.
For what it’s worth, chasing a good one is fun and it tasted alright. Not great but alright. still do v60 Monday -Friday
How the fuck have i missed this thread? Just bought a grinder yesterday. fresh beans only, no foldgers for me from now on
So after months dialing in Chemex method, trying varying recipes… I’ve determined that v60 makes a superior cup & reigns supreme: 1. V60 2. Aeropress 3. Chemex
I'd probably go V60 Wave Clever French press SCAA approved drip Aeropress Aeropress is p convenient though
I just included my most used… always forget about the French press. Aeropress is predominately for travel & at work
For me, the aeropress is exclusively for travel and my wife, who drinks flavored stuff and uses augar anyways
I need some good decaf bean recommendations. I’d love to have a cup in the afternoon from time to time.
My last decaf order was from Broadsheet Coffee - they always have a pretty solid option. I’ve also had some from Little Wulf and Verve that I’ve liked in the past. I like Onyx Powernap - half caff / half decaf blend.
Dump grounds into compost bin, rinse under the faucet, set it on the dishrack to dry. Whole process takes 7.4 seconds
Tried a bunch of devices and ways and settled on this for taste and ease of cleanup: 5:1 ratio of water to coffee for 20 hours in the fridge Put the grounds in these bags in a mason jar/glass pitcher/storage vessel. I use a medium-coarse grind When finished, just toss the bag and keep in the fridge for up to a week or so
Clive Coffee's offering me $1000 to trade in my Profitec 300.. Tempted to upgrade it to either a Profitec 600 or Lelit Bianca. 600$ difference is a good chunk of change but it gets me a machine with rotary pump and flow control. I guess I can add flow control to Profitec 600 for 200$ or so. Decisions. Decisions.
Wanting to get in the pour over game. Can someone link me to what I need to get started, or point me to the page where this question has already been asked and answered 100 times? Thanks!
I have nothing. I have no frame of reference on how much this stuff costs. I know a chemex is around $40 or so. I don’t want top of the line stuff and I don’t want the cheapest stuff that will break or turn out a shitty product. I’d say mid level.
I started off with a baratza encore, a v60 size 01, cheap small scale, and a hario gooseneck pour over stovetop kettle. grinder makes the biggest difference
I got something on the way from Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/listing/977629464/wdt-tool-and-stand-for-espresso
I'd probably go: Encore (electric) or jx-pro (manual) grinder Bonavita variable electric gooseneck kettle A cheap american weigh kitchen scale (to .1 grams) A plastic v60 Most importantly, this to clean your grinder:
I bought it because I'm weak but I need you to send me the Kenya from Bold Bean a couple weeks back. Loved it and just finished the bag this morning.
https://boldbeancoffee.com/shop-coffee/p/kenyakagumoini Should still be available from them. Just ordered more yesterday.
Where do y’all buy your coffee? I have a Trade subscription for my drip maker, but wasn’t sure for the pour over stuff. I think Sump has a subscription service.
Fellow Drops. Directly from local roasters (George Howell, Broadsheet, Little Wulf) Sometimes, direct order from roasters but that’s going down (Onyx, Sey, Black and White) I cancelled trade after they reduced bag sizes from 12oz to 11oz without any announcements and the curation has been lacking.
Oh, I caved too. About 7 minutes after I posted about it being so expensive. I live about a half mile from BB… I’ll swing by to see if they still have it. Did you check their website? https://boldbeancoffee.com/. Probably cheaper as they have a free shipping code.
