Thanks Evan for your motivating comment. Have been learning how to record & edit videos and taste coffee at the same time 😄 hard work but enjoying it and appreciate your support.
Hi there. As regards heating of the dripper, I have been testing using the Hario Switch base (it can accommodate all "removable" Hario drippers") as a way to keep very hot water in contact with my ceramic dripper (not a Hario one). That is, placing the ceramic dripper on top of the Hario Switch, closing the switch and then pouring boiling water on top. I think this warmed well enough the dripper.
How does the Aiden compare with a moccamaster...especially as a batch brewer. I make 1.25 liters every morning can the Aiden do that? Wonder what the difference in flavor would be
same here tried stirring and increasing the number of pours but I got bitter notes. can't remember which video but I remember seeing a flatter bed. Could be for larger batch brews
Is it bitter and hollow/empty or just a hint of bitterness with good body. If the latter I would probably try to increase the coffee dose slightly (around 0.5-1.0g) and keep the grind size the same
I think it was more hollow bitterness. I added more grinds but it got more bitter. Ended up reducing the ratio from 1:15 to 1:16 (400g : 25g). Was still bitter. Made the grind coarser and made my first smooth cup. No bitterness. I saw a Fellow video that says Aiden extracts efficiently. This grind is maybe like French press. Uncomfortably coarse. But the tweaks continue. Probably need a coffee spectrometer.
Well done. I like your channel. Keep up good work!🎉

Turm the glass v60 the other way to preheat on your kettle. Have a watch of the q&a on the James Hoffmann better 1 cup v60 method

@@sotirisdiamantopoulos231 ahh I didn’t know that it works with different drippers. Will check it out thanks 🙏

Thanks! previously I tried inverting the dripper but without any filter paper. condensation water was dripping all over my kettle base 😂

I've found you have to open the lid and stir the grounds in the Aiden for single serve. Still producing bitter coffee for me.

@@SimonAndrewCoffee I'm experimenting with grind size to go coarser 🙏

👍 my next video is about identifying your coffee taste and the adjustments to make. Hope it will be helpful for you as well
