- This week, we’re bringing you the latest video from a series that we call Home Coffee Brewing with April. This episode was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa during a recent trip hosting the very first April Brewers Cup in the African continent.
We believe that innovation in coffee brewing starts at home, and that some of the most special and meaningful interactions with coffee can take place within your own kitchen.
As we are frequently travelling visiting our international partners, we decided to introduce this format as a way to interact with you on a different level whilst maintaining the frequency of our videos.
In this video, John brews a frozen coffee roasted in Taiwan. The coffee was grown and processed in Colombia, and had been co-fermented with kumquat. John chose to grind this coffee using an Orbit grinder from Acaia, fitted with SSP burrs and an additional Ion Beam attachment to reduce static. He chose the April Plastic Brewer, combined with Kalita 185 paper filters and poured his brew water using an Electric Gooseneck Kettle from Fellow. The water he used was a reverse osmosis treated tap water, with additional minerals added via Perfect Cup from GC Water.

Great video and amazing setup! We do offer the choice of either the Mazzer 33M or SSP Multi-Purpose burrs when purchasing the Orbit. The Space Gray version has an additional option for the SSP Lab Sweet V3 burrs 🙂
That sounds great.
Love the setup, also have an orbit grinder and really enjoy it.
Thank you for watching. Do you have any recommendations on how to use the Orbit?
@@coffeewithapril from the video it seemed like he was unaware of the ability to change the rpms from the three default presets. Grinder allows you to have three different preset settings that you can switch between.
@@JT-zy2ft that's interesting. That said, we haven't experienced much value in terms of taste quality in changing RPM in general. Do you have another experience with that?
Awesome video. Very geeky setup and outfit too!
Thank you for watching as always. What was the main takeaway from this video, apart from the geeky outfit?
@@coffeewithapril The importance of April Filter to me can really help with dialing-in the coffee in a very consistent and predictable manner :)
Amazing !
“Cooperation coffee “is my favorite coffee in Taiwan !! 🇹🇼
Glad to hear that and thank you for watching. What is your favorite coffee from them?
@@coffeewithapril
I like coffee beans with a good sweetness. Their espresso and pour-over beans both have excellent flavor complexity and sweetness. As a coffee novice, paired with April Brewer, it has become my favorite coffee time of the day.
@@coffeewithapril also thank you for sharing !!!
Very interesting to hear about the filters. I never knew they were produced that way. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you for watching. There is always a lot to learn. What paper filters are you using today?
@@coffeewithapril i’ve been primarily using Cafec filters. Mostly Abaca and T90’s. Some Hario white tabbed as well. I’m finding it difficult to find your filters in the USA. 😔
@@bradsyoutube You can get the April Paper Filters via SlowPour SUPPLY.
@@coffeewithapril thank you. Unfortunately, they have been out of stock for the past several weeks. You can’t buy them in a bundle or separately. 😔
I was actually considering purchasing directly from your website as that is the only place I can find filters in stock.
I never ever stalled my April Brewer. Then again, I strictly use the April Filter which fits perfectly with the German made polycarbonate April Brewer
Same here.
Hi Patrick, what is the composition of your water in the roastery? I‘m useing Lotus Water Drops and want to replicate your water when brewing your coffee. Thank you and nice video!
From what I remember, he mentioned in his home brewing video from his own place that he picks up those 5L jugs of distilled water and dissolves one sachet of TWW in them.
If that‘s roughly what they use at the april roastery, I don‘t know.
We use a BWT RO system in the roastery which means very clean water with added magnesium. So the closest you can get is adding just magnesium.
Great video! Would love to see these homebrewers doing a 1st time brew (similar to the Miriam video). Getting their perspectives on what settings/ratios etc they’re using (and how they’re making those decisions and adjusting) would be super helpful!
Thank you for watching. We will make sure to look into that for future videos. Thank you for the input.
