Ingredients you'll need:
Well done comparison! would have been cool to add one extra layer with the v60 papers just to focus on the dripper pattern/size and see if that changed the cup feel in any way, especially since "cleaness" often is related to paper thickness and effectiveness
Oh that's a good point. I'll definitely have to look at that in the future
Just gotten mine. [Type 00/ 1-2 cups] [also got a crystal B75]
Still need to find suitable small size filters.
with some folding a NO2/NO4 filter looks to fit fine. its not the most elegant solution, but it works.
its also the most economical at just 1ct per filter. compared to 8-16ct per V60/155 filter
Not sure what effect it would have on taste and such
I've got the glass crystal eye and really happy with it so far. Thinking of trying the V60 papers to see if any difference. I'm travelling so can't really justify carrying a V60 as well. Nice comparison 🤘
Thanks for stopping by! Yeaa I think that if you're moving about, and if you're happy with the coffee it produces, then no harm sticking with it
Nice comparison. I currently have the crystal eye dripper. Because of your review I'm planning to get a hario v60 now.
Awesome! I was honestly pretty surprised at the difference in taste that the two brewed!
Did you buy v60? Was that different?
I think the differences would be less if you used the same filter papers for both. Have you tried doing that?
I have actually. I'd say I still prefer the V60 as a whole, but my go-to these days is actually the aeropress due to the convenience
@@wearenotchefs2241 Been stepping up my pour-over game lately! I had the Crystal eye for a while but recently got the V60 (both plastic) and I'm liking the acidity and brightness more in the V60, I think I just did one or two direct comparisons so far, but I thought the Crystal eye seemed like it toned down the brightness (and I already have the B75 for that!) I think I might also be getting more clarity in the V60, I like it! I was surprised they're so different because they appear to just have small differences. Also more water seems to be retained in the grooves of the Crystal Eye after rinsing!
It seems to me that Timemore has a bigger spotlight in Asian countries, and Hario in American/European?
Anyway, nice look at the brewing!
Maybe do visual of how muddy/clear the coffee is with the different filter thickness
That's a very good question actually. So far, I've only seen one place carry it where I'm from, with the bigger names being more popular.
And that's actually a great idea. I'll look into that for my next coffee videos!
Hello there, can i know what the other filter you use in this vids?
Thanks for the review, its really helpfull for me.
Welcome!
The other filter papers are the Japanese variant of Hario's unbleached filter papers. You should be able to find it on amazon or any decent cafe. Sometimes they only sell the bleached ones but I find that as long as it's the Japanese variants, it will be fine
I think this comparison is useless cause u didnt even use the same paper filter.
I this this comment misses the point of the comparison cause u literally left out every aspect of the comparison, while not understanding why different papers were used.
However, as thanks for a free view, and a comment, I'll shed some light as to why different papers were used:
1) It wouldn't make sense to use papers that didnt come with the Timemore as the point is to test what comes in the box. It's pitted against the v60, using what's possibly one of the most commonly used papers because, well, it is one of the most commonly used papers.
2) We're not comparing the effectiveness of the papers/how they function in each brewer. If we were, using the same papers would make more sense. Keep in mind, the comparison of the coffees they brew are between what Timemore provides in the box, and what someone buying a Hario V60 would probably purchase with said brewer. If we comparing the effectiveness and differences in what the papers would produce, then it would make sense to brew 2 cups each with each brewer, using Hario's and Timemore's papers.
So, hopefully this helps you understand how/why comparisons are done they way that they are.
Still, thanks for stopping by
Ummm plastic always retains heat better than glass or ceramic. Put glass ceramic and plastic in a refrigerator and tell me which is warmer to the touch after removed from refrigerator
Both of the review drippers were plastic.
@@serjhermanThere was a statement in the earlier part of the vid where he implied that glass and ceramics are better in heat retention
I think the general consensus is that plastic is actually the better material for Brewers like this although I hate the idea of mixing hot water with plastics! Ceramic and glass have better thermal stability due to higher mass. Once they're cold they're cold longer once hot they're hot longer. However it also acts as a heatsinks so the initial pre heating is very important with heavier ceramic or glass brewers. Plastic is a better insulator keeping the hot water hot.
A thin double walled glass brewer might be ideal but then it's more fragile.
