CommonShore posted:anyone have a good playlist of v60 pourover recipes? I have a particular recipe I've been using for a while that my local shop uses, but then someone gave me a chemex over the holidays and I went and watched a few chemex recipes and then went and tried out 4 or 5 more recipes since then. I've posted this recipe a few times in the thread, but it's easily the best tasting recipe I've ever used. The video uses a Kalita Wave, but it works just as well with a V60. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjsGf3R9mc0 Pay particular attention to the section on pour height. That makes a huge difference in adequately churning the coffee bed.

This is a good, straightforward method. It's basically the same broader approach as Hoffman's updated "small pour" v60 method, but with two pours instead of four, and pretty similar to what I've been doing lately since I started researching different approaches. Could be in the OP.

I'm beginning my adventure in a multi day grinder head to head battle between the Baratza encore esp and the fellow opus a kind goon sent my way. The winner will live on in glory, the loser will be donated to one of my piss coffee drinking friends along with an AeroPress and a scale.

I knocked my aeropress over this morning while topping up to 200g in an inverted brew. It splashed scalding coffee and grounds onto everything around, notably my sweatpants and feet. I'm pretty sure the scale is ruined, but I'll get a new one, whatever. I said a bunch of loud swears and my 5 year old got scared and ran off then came back with a stuffed animal for me and asked if she could get me a cold glass of water. Then I just made a Starbucks via because one was there and I was too mad to grind more of my good beans. I put my crocs on the back porch because they were a mess and a bird poo poo on one.

That’s why I’ll never do an inverted brew for Aeropress. The gains are so minimal for the non-trivial risk of making an absolute mess.

I only inverted a few times and that was enough to see potential scalding hot disaster. Regular works just fine.

The biggest advantage of the conical pourover has gotta be how easy it is to clean. You chuck the filter, you rinse it out. Easy. I've toyed with my aeropress and tricolate every now and then but I inevitably get frustrated by the mess and the tendency for me to pour scalding water on myself when using them

I think everyone that has tried to do inverted has spilled it at least once. Probably could make a stand for it to make it slightly less sketchy. Or just don't do it.

I once accidentally filled the hollow of my aeropress' plunger with water, then spent thirty seconds trying to figure out why things weren't working how they should. Not my finest hour.

Another alternative to inverted is to stick the plunger in just a bit to create a vacuum that should hold the brew in. There'll be some drippage in the few seconds it takes to get the plunger in, but not enough to really affect anything in my experience

yeah, inverted seems like too much risk for a very minimal reward. before I got mine, Hoffmann had already released his videos on it, and even just his mentioned risk of the plunger popping out when you flip, if it isn’t in deep enough, was enough for me to take a vow never to do inverted.

I think doing inverted is what shortened the life of the rubber stopper on the plunger of my Aeropress. It's an easily replaceable part, but the rubber literally started dissolving after a pretty short while and the only thing I can figure was that it was the extended contact with hot coffee slurry.

It's an easily replaceable part, but the rubber literally started dissolving after a pretty short while and the only thing I can figure was that it was the extended contact with hot coffee slurry. Ok this is the only logic I'll listen to. Here's the real reason I'm doing it inverted: I'm using a metal filter and my own roasted beans. The filter has just a little more porosity than paper, and because the beans are so fresh, it takes a while for the bloom to die down enough to get the full 200g of water in, during which time more has escaped into the cup than with paper or store beans. I guess over time the filter will clog up a little and this will happen less. Alternately, I could just pour till the bloom hits the top and cap it, and then top up to 200g in the cup kind of like an Americano.

Key with inverted is to put the top on and gently press out the air. Extremely satisfying watching the filter suddenly darken as the liquid meets it. That way your plunger is further in and there's minimal chance of accidents.

There's currently a big Reddit panic (yeah I know, sorry) about the new Gaggia Classic Pro EVOs. Allegedly the non-stick coating inside the boiler is flaking off and coming out it tiny chunks. Its most obvious when running the steam wand into an empty cup. Whole Latte Love and Gaggia themselves are looking in to it. Not sure if anyone here has a new EVO, but its worth keeping an eye on if this turns out to be more than a Reddit circlejerk.

Crocs are literally the best in this situation, other than muck boots. I hose them off and dry them and that's it. Well crocs without the holes would have been best, but it still would have made it in the top no matter what I was wearing. Crocs around the house make my plantar fasciitis all but disappear, there's no argument against them that I care about anymore.

What’s the going rate for a bag of beans from y’alls roaster of choice? This afternoon the baristas at my local place were discussing the owner’s most recent price change that took their cheap blend bag from $16 to $18.50, or the old price for their better single origin bags.

We pick up a monthly 2lb bag from Hyperion for $28, typically single origin but not always. This month we got a natural processed Ethiopian that’s pretty good.

It’s pretty rare to find something decent for under like $22. But then again NYC. My cost factor may be broken. Pilfered Pallbearers fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Okay it’s pretty bad everywhere, thanks all. We found a $23 bag of 2lb grocery store beans that makes a good enough cup for most weekday mornings. Pilfered Pallbearers posted:$18.50 for a better single origin is quite cheap. It’s pretty rare to find something decent for under like $22. $18.50 is the old price when we went there in the Before Times - now all their single origins are $22+ per 12oz.

17-23$ for single origin (12oz) is pretty good still in most places. $23 for 2# of decent blended beans is still about 4$ cheaper than what I can find, but we may have different opinions about what makes a decent daily driver. I haven’t found a good single origin for under $17 in about 4 years.
