This video was likely made for people brewing at home. If you’re just getting into pour over there’s a good chance you’re using a barazta encore as it’s a highly recommended entry level burr grinder. You can clearly see two other higher level grinders in this video.

Thanks Juan!

Thanks Arian 🙏🏼. Means a lot

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it. We like smaller coffee doses because of the higher yields so there isn’t too much liquid espresso at higher ratios. We experiment with 12 and 15 gram baskets and pull coffees 2.5:1 to 3:1 depending at 6.5 bars of pressure. Depending on the coffee, the smaller dose let’s us drop our group temperature by a few degrees as well. We also preinfuse for 5-7 seconds. Hope that helps :)

@@subtextcoffeeroasters652 Awesome thank you!!

Awesome Video. I'll definitely follow your work. One question, which 12g baskets do you guys use? Are you using any competition baskets or simply using the slayer ones?

@@hugoirm for 12g we use the Kees van der Westen baskets. Hoping a vst or similar eventually comes on the market but, not holding our breath, ha

Showing the ground coffee wouldn't help much given the size of the particles, hence the "Medium" recommendation. Instead you can gauge this based on brewing trial and error. It should only take 2.5 to 3.5 minutes total to clear out the water when brewing ~14g in the 155. Make sure you pour the water in a similar steady matter as in the video so you don't disturb the coffee bed at all. If you find your Kalita retaining a pool of water around the ~3.5 minute mark without revealing the bed, you need to grind your coffee more coarsely so it's able to fall through faster. If you find your Kalita revealing the bed prematurely, and not expanding the ground coffee into a muddy texture, you need to grind your coffee more finely to slow it down. I'd recommend investing in an electric conical grinder as they typically have a grind size dial ranging from Coarse->Medium->Fine->Extra Fine. Anywhere within the "Medium" section works best here, as recommended by the video and in my experience. Good luck.

Agree! I'd like to know what number setting the grinder was on. Ooops he does tell us, it's 15.

Hey David - all great questions. We prefer not to go higher than 16g. You can get away with close to 18 but anything higher we would look to other brewers: V60, Kalita 185, Fellow Stagg X. The time is going increase for sure as you up your ratio, that's totally normal. As long as your brew doesn't choke you can expect brew times to increase from 2:30 - 3:30 on the lower dose, to 3:30-4:30 with a higher dose, as a rough example

Hey George. It may seem like a small amount of coffee but it's more than sufficient for 1 cup. While we don't recommend putting more than 16g of coffee in the brewer, that's still more coffee than what's in a traditional double espresso. At higher, modern extraction percentages and average coffee strength (1.3%), that's almost a full 8oz of liquid. Not for people that want to throw a pot of coffee on, definitely for people that want to brew a single cup of coffee and have the iterative process of fine tuning their coffee with each brew.

@@subtextcoffeeroasters652 thanks for taking time to respond. We have different point of views. I typically drink a 14-16 oz (420-480ml) cup per day. So for me it's not worth the effort brewing such a small amount.

@@ggivensjr totally makes sense and the 185, large Chemex, or Fellow Stagg x are better choices for that quantity. Re grind size, that's great feedback. We'll definitely show the grind in more detail in future videos

It's coffee tools app for Ios. Also available on Android

For light roasted coffee I'm in the 27-30 clicks on most coffees at this recipe

Agree! What is it?
