    Lovely video. Thanks for the measurements and info in the description! Also, love the hand grinder. Speaking of grounds, my wife and I have a clause in our prenup that states any vertical videos either of us shoot on our phone is grounds for divorce.

    Possibly a silly question... is the brew time measured after all of the water has heen added - 300g in this case? Should the entire process take 3:30 to 4:00 - or just after 300g of water has been added? Thanks for the video and info!!

      Yes, 3 min to 4min brewtime should be good with 18 grams.

    ok just to understand what you are doing.. 1:18. regular Chemex paper...medium grind not medium -coarse? Sounds great. Am I on the right track?

    • @TheBaristaGame

      Hey,
      i am doing a 1:16,66 Ratio with regular Chemex paper. Grindsize depends on your dose: 18 Grams are more medium fine, 36 Grams more medium / medium-coarse. Try to aim for 3-5mins extractiontime :).

    What always gets me is , rinsing the filter , then pouring that same water back through the filter to the sink?

      It's not going through the filter when poured out, ha ha ha... come on dude, educated yourself! Chemex has a pouring channel. Water doesn't touch the filter when pouring.

      Dex Ezekiel yes, try it out! Through the little shaking the coffeebeans are all the time in contact with the water. I use this method every day! ☺️

    How much water was pour after the bloom? Seems like a lot more than 60%? I can’t get my brew time past 3min using 18grams/300ml

    • @TheBaristaGame
      @TheBaristaGame  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It should be round about 60% and in the end I am aiming for almost 4mins to get all these flavors through the filter.
      Maybe you pouring too fast or the grounds are too coarse 😊

      He wouldn’t be upset, he’d just be disappointed. Guy kept disturbing his coffee while it was steeping. Would still end up with quite good coffee though, but in the British sense of the phrase.

    Can we use the same technic with more coffee?

      @TheBaristaGame  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! :)
      Yes, you can use the same method. You probably need to grind a little more coarser to prevent bitterness at the end. But if you aim for ≈4mins you are on a good way!

      The „budget“ version of the Hario Skerton. But I would recommend the Porlex Tall for beginners.

    It’s ridiculous how this method has you make a little divot with your finger and then you swirl the carafe to flatten the bed of coffee again. Why?
