    Good video, Kenneth. I remember hearing "the darker the roast, the less cafeine" about 20 years ago, from my dentist of all people. I thought "perfect" because I love a dark roast. Getting together for coffee is one of my favorite activities. Going for a ride and stopping for coffee, even better! Cheers Kenneth. Keep up your great spirit. Gordon. Kelowna, B.C. Where we'll be riding in about 5 weeks! Can hardly wait.

    You have great personality, Kenneth. I'm not really too much of a coffee person - i drink "coffee", if this thing coming in single cup packs with more dried milk and sugar than actual coffee powder could be still called it. But i just love to see your expression about your coffee. It's great to see a person who really like what they are doing. Your channel has some nicest vibe which makes it really difficult to stop watching :)
    I envy you a bit in this. Still can't figure out what i like in life, and it's like halfway gone already.

      Hehe well the coffee is laying on top of the water and is releasing it flavor components, and when I knock it it stirs up the water so that everything is even. You can stir if you want to, but then you’ll get a lot more sediment and bitterness in the coffee.

      Could you stir the coffee and then leave it for another minute or so. I always stir my Cafetiere coffee once the water is added and then I put the filter in just above the liquid. Finally plunging the filter gently up and down just a few millimeters at first and then gently all the way.

    Thanks for doing the video Kenneth. I like my coffee and I've definitely learnt a lost from this. I use a coarse grind in an Aeropress (inverted) and have been known to leave it for 10 minutes or more (I don't like hot coffee - I can't taste anything except hot...). I'm not much for measurements or time - I'll add a scoop plus a bit, then brew for 5 mins or so...
    Watching previous videos with coffee over the fire, I have wondered how you filter the grinds from the coffee - now I know!
    Interesting about the life-cycle of the coffee bean after roasting. I get a kilo every 4 weeks, so I'm obviously using it in its prime. I hadn't thought about it before. Forgive me - I use a local(ish) roaster as the shipping for your coffee is cost prohibitive - one day you will have to brew me a coffee. :-)
    Now, have to ask. The moose seems so dapper with his straw hat - does he have a name?

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you liked it 😊
      I am planning to make a video about aeropress too in a few weeks. It is one of my favourite ways to brew when traveling. The great thing about that is that it is a mix of filter and full emersion, and you have so many ways of doing it that all makes it taste very different.
      Yeah just pour carefully and you'll have very few grounds 🙂
      I'm glad you are getting the most out of your beans. Don't worry about who's coffee you are using. If you are buying it from a reputable source you know that it is ethically sourced and cared for the whole way. I know my shipping costs are a problem. Shipping international from Norway is expensive, and now during corona it has gone up even more. If I manage to sell enough coffee the prices will go down, but I am quite far off at the moment. Hopefully it will improve when I start my journey 😛
      On your next few shipments try to take out a few grams and save it for a couple of weeks or months. Then try to taste it all next to each other. One cup with 8 week old coffee, one with 6 weeks, one with 4 and so on. Then you'll be able to really taste how much it changes over time.
      Yeah the moose has become part of our story. he is on some of the coffee bags and in a lot of pictures. I don't really know the full history of it, but it is pretty old, and used to be in the old roastery before the one we are in now was built. I actually don't think it has a name yet, but we should give it one 😝

      @Life2ontour 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RidetheBean I tend to get a different bean every 4 weeks as I like to see what they taste like. I haven't yet had a bad bean.
      Will be interesting to see what different options you come up with with the Aeropress. I was gifted it by the better half, to use when out and about. It very soon became my coffee brew kit for home and for the office - we now have the mini version for taking out on the bikes (when we're allowed...).
      The moose should be called Bibendum (Bib for short) as this is the name of the Michelin man and why Michelin call their enduro tyre mousse "Bib mousse". A connection between the Moose and the T7. ;-)

    That was a great lesson for me.
    It seems I am using 3wrong coffee in my French press. I should use a coarser grind? Not filter.
    But if I depress the press after 15-20 seconds I should get a less bitter result, I think?
    And what are your thoughts on milk with it? Never seen you add any.
    A great lesson. Thanks.
    Happy travels

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It is all up to how you like it. People like what they like.
      But using set parameters makes it a lot easier to repeat the same brew.
      A French press is basically the same as cowboy coffee. So I would recommend using pretty course grinds. Filter ground coffee is much finer because water is meant to be poured over and gravity does the job of extracting. But with a full emersion brew you risk extractions too much. At the end of the process all the astringent tastes start to come out.
      When Making French press I do it the exact same way as I do with a cupping. I throw away the stamp and use a spoon to break the surface and scoop out the bitter foam.
      The reason people started to put milk in their coffee was because it tasted very bitter and the milk made it more balanced and pleasant.
      In my opinion the only reason to put milk in the coffee is if it is bad quality coffee or a bad brew.
      Milk takes all the good flavors away and leaves only the generic coffee taste.
      Unless it is in an espresso. Same thing applies here, but with espresso the milk can enhance or add to the flavor of the coffee. You still taste what the coffee tastes like, but you get more flavors as well.

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      All decent grinders can be adjusted for grind size. But what grind size is best is very difficult to say on camera. It depends on so many things. The hardness of the water you are using, the brew time, type of coffee etc. so it’s good to have a starting point, but you’ll have to try a few times to figure out the best one for where you are and how you brew 🙂

    Thanks for the tutorial. I love the smell of brewed coffee on cold crisp mornings. I, and most of my family, usually have a shot of skim milk in it. Would love to hear your thoughts on that, what do you even call all the stuff people dress their coffee with? I do, occasionally drink it black, and I know, my palette isn't as refined as yours but I don't think I've ever really got fruity notes. Can you suggest something to blow my hair back with fruity tones?

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you liked it 🙂
      Milk in coffee started as a way of making it more less bitter and more pleasant to drink. For most of history coffee was a bitter drink. But in the past few decades we have discovered that it can be so much more. It all depends on how it is picked, sorted, graded, transported, roasted and served. We never used to pay attention to all these things, but now we do and it has resulted in the explosion of specialty coffee you see around you these days. Starbucks started it and it just took off from there.
      It all depends on what it is you are looking for in the coffee. If you just want the caffeine most people drink it with milk. But if you want to taste the uniqueness of the coffee it has to be black.
      If you have not tasted fruity notes in your coffee yet I would guess you drink either generic or large coffee brands or pretty dark roasts.
      If you want to taste more details I would recommend getting your coffee from a specialty coffee shop. Not Starbucks or any of the chains or the supermarket.
      It does cost a bit more, but you can be sure that it is ethically sourced and that it tastes better.
      Go into a specialty shop and ask for a Natural Ethiopian coffee. ideally from the Guji region. As lightly roasted as you can find. And have them brew it as a pour over.
      That was how I got into coffee in the first place. The first time I tasted a natural Ethiopian I didn't understand what I was tasting. It was like strawberry juice.

    So, as long as I understood, stirring the coffee, in the end, is not a good idea? How different taste would be if I would make coffee in the cup? And most people put the coffee first, then pour the boiling water on the top and wait some time, would you suggest doing the opposite if I make it in the cup? But the water gets callder if I would pour it in the cup and then add coffee, would it still extract enough flavours? So I wonder what you think, what would it do to your coffee those different methods? Like you see- I need an advanced cowboy coffee making course :D BTW link to the coffee grinder would be appreciated :) Thank you!

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ideally you want the coffee to move as little as possible after it starts brewing. pouring water over the coffee or coffee on top of the water is the same. If you watched the episode from the roastery where I did a cupping it is the same just in a cup. But normally when making coffee I heat the water on a fire and instead of having several vessels I just brew it all in the pot. That way each cup dont get grounds in it.
      The water should ideally be a about 96 degrees Celsius. When the water boils it cools down a few degrees very quickly, so I like to start being within a minute of the boil.When using colder water you won't extract the same compounds so the taste will be much brighter, and almost Tate a bit acidic or underdeveloped.
      I could go into detail about things, but that is very geeky. If you start to really focus on the flavour you will notice a lot of details. every little thing you do affects the taste a little bit. But for most people they just want a good well balanced brew. I put the link in now Thanks for the tip.
