Agree. Want to see more dialing in videos from Lance, where he iterates and discusses which variable to change when for this particular bag of coffee. Like a series “Coffee of the week dialing in”. The community would suggest the coffee to dial in
Lance I never comment but this might be a long one. I was drawn into specialty coffee when my mind was blown that a naturally processed coffee could taste like cranberry. I was like are you serious, nothing but natural coffee in this cup? So I'm actually super turned off when I see anaerobic processing fruit fermentation stuff because it's going in the complete opposite direction that I feel the soul of this thing is - showcasing the natural beauty of coffee. I love what you are doing helping bring a washed process to the stage and I want to tell you that while the recipes yielded by the competition may not be helpful to me, the insight you provided into the process of dialing for competition I find extremely helpful for dialing in general or for a particular audience. High marks for the video and the direction you are going. I'd like to see more competitions or maybe divisions that exclude heavily processed coffees. Thanks Lance!
Lance, you're a special one! I'm glad that someone with your status in the coffee industry made a video like this. I put my money mainly on washed coffees. I honestly prefer them! And ironically they're often related with roasters that pay fairly to the farmers ;) Cheers
This is pretty close to what I was looking for. Analyzing your coffee "specs" to determine the best flavor. Not saying there's one true flavor for the coffee, but using the right method to make a coffee that fits your personal taste. Would you be open to do a video regarding this? Knowing which method to use can reduce wasted trial and error of brewing but still not achieving that right taste.
Absolutely Fantastic Video!!! Nice to hear someone pointing out the reality of WC brewing. Interesting that you didn't put a mesh screen under the filter. I've found that addition balances clarity and body brilliantly in flat bottom brewers. And that MK cup shape is soooo nice too 😅
I have tried similar to this but find the absolute best flavor comes from slightly finer, not much, but only wetting the coffee a total a 2 times. I do a bloom of about 100 ML, or whatever is needed. After I push as much water through as evenly as possible. If I can't get enough and it's going to overflow, I simply add the water to the bottom. If adding a 3rd time I find there is less flavor extraction but more of the old bean taste.
I remember you mentioning that you measured competitors’ low extractions in a previous video, but you didn’t get into it as it would have been off the video’s topic. So glad you really went into detail in this one. Thanks as always, Lance!
This video shows how you created a singular pour-over recipe using different tools and techniques to showcase very rarified coffee--how do we as enthusiasts begin to deconstruct the beans available to us to create our own masterpieces? How do we decode what is available to us? I've upgraded enough different tools in the process--an excellent grinder, good water, multiple good pour-over brewers and papers, studied pouring technique etc.--how do I unpack all that and reliably "Lance Hendrick" our own coffee experience? (Short of buying Cometeer!) I would love a video series where you go and visit a local roaster, select say a single origin bag of beans---see the tasting notes on the bag and then turn said bag into pour-over magic, perhaps with the local roaster discussing the experience along the way. I'd love to see what tools and techniques you would you break out.
Super interesting video. I started using the recipe you gave on the Hario Switch Pulsar Percolation and Immersion video and it's been fabulous for home brewing. Best pour over for my taste that I've ever used. thanks for that.
Lance, thanks so much for addressing this and bringing to light these types of information, as niche as they may be, but still lingering in our minds. I love the openness and the transparency.
Fantastic video Lance: A peek behind the veil of what goes on inside these brewer competitions - you're totally correct in your assessment regarding the elitism, however there is, as you noted, a benefit to the wider coffee community in regards to helping drive awareness for coffee farmers through the ambassadorships of the winners. My extraction yield on this video was high! 😁
Thank you Lance! I finally had the opportunity to get my hands on some rather exotic processed coffee, and the more traditional brewing recipes just didn't seem to make sense. It tasted so overwhelming on both espresso and filter, like a mix between a heavy porter beer mixed with some funky new age IPA and soysauce 😅 It felt a bit wrong to put a Frenchpress grind size in a pourover, but it made this thermic processed coffee much more enjoyable 😂 Now I finally get why everyone in the coffee community is talking about high transparency brewing and grinding coarser!
Noticed those Tim Kenya beans in the background, can you post the lotus water you use, v60 recipe and grind setting on your Pietro brew burrs? Would be cool to get as close to what you taste out of it as possible, Appreciate grind size is just approx due to tolerances/alignment and bean variation etc...
First of all…it was a real pleasure to meet you personally in Athens last Thursday. To the Video: By far the most interesting one about brewing championships I have ever seen…kinda triggers me now to do some training…who knows where it will lead me to ;)
Learnt so much here...thx heaps Lance. I'd love to see a series based on a similar premise - each episode you have a random bag of beans and then manipulate all your brewing levers to get the best taste based on the bean make-up eg. density, processing, varietal, roast, etc
Just tried to replicate this recipe with my V60 it was okay. Brew time was quite fast and I have been finding that with my current coffee which is an El Salvador honey giesha I have been enjoying a longer brew time. Even my stalled brews that are going for 6+ minutes have been tasting good. Albeit with a little astrigency when warm. I'm currently using the df64 with SSP mps installed in them.
Hey Lance, you talk about how things affect your sensory experience, and enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee while watching your videos is always a treat for me!
AAHHH, that's my all-time favorite coffee ever, and I still have frozen doses of it here! 😻 I usually enjoy Takesi Gesha at a ratio of 1: 16-1: 18, depending on its age, brewed at 96°C, using Aquacode water 😸
Hiii, I'm curious to try it, I just bought it 🎉, how would you brew it 😊, do you have a recipe for v 60 ? 👀 also I have 1zpresso x pro and I always feel like I waste half of a bag trying to dial it in 😅😂
@@johnatansidwell4432 hey! Unfortunately I brewed the Collectiv’s Takesi Gesha with a flat bottom brewer but do check its roast date as it depends! When it’s new (a week post roast), I brew it with two pours, aiming for 1: 16.
Really cool recipe! I actually had this coffee at home as well and really enjoyed it. Super expensive coffee though and I would had love to have tried yours and Kians recipe before I had finish the bag. 👍🏾
and maan the scoring of the coffee is so in depth and complex. Very hard for me to give gradings for each aspects of a coffee without taking the hole coffee in consideration 🤯
Hearing that most competition coffee is infused surprised me. Never heard anybody admit that in their presentation. Really like how you explain this dail in. Very usefull. Gonna listen again to take notes. I have a disliking to the heavily processed stuff maybe now i can find a way to enjoy some of it.
I love processed coffees. I enjoy it all, though. I don’t view different processing techniques as more or less pure than one versus the other. Adding s’mores flavoring is another story, but anaerobic processing isn’t “less pure” to me. It’s just different
How much of a difference does it make when the brewer is sitting on top of the carafe at an angle? Looks like that was the case here cause the coffee drips from one point around the edge of the bottom.
When you have really long blooms, isn't there a question of whether to reboil the water or not? What temperature are you actually using if you wait 2+ mins to do the big pour?
I actually tried brewing the same coffee in the past at 100°C, but with finer grinds and a 1: 18 ratio. However, I don't think the resulting taste was “competition worthy”; instead, it was light and sweet 😸 Anyway, I believe age is also a factor. I'm really tempted to replicate your recipe right now, especially since I still have some doses that were frozen exactly one month after the roast date for this year's batch just to pique my curiosity.. then I might use an April brewer since that’s the closest brewer I have right now 🤭
Lance, have you tried the 1zpresso K-max, and if yes - which setting do you guess would match the coarseness that you used in this video? and in which range would you typically be for pour over on this grinder? I'm usually at 6
I'm not gonna lie ... this is waaay over my head. I could care less about what a judge thinks is good. I'm all about what I think is good since I am my own end user--which is basically what this video is all about. BUT, I want to thank you for highlighting specialty coffee. You said in one video that the most important item in coffee brewing is not the grinder, the brewer, etc., but the COFFEE. After I heard that I found a local coffee roaster who ethically sources their beans. I ordered an array of beans that I thought I would enjoy ... and I do! AND PS. I ordered the beans on day one, the beans were roasted on day two (they roast to order 3 days a week), and the beans arrived at my house on day three.
Great as always! Are cupping samples provided with the competitor's finished product as well? In not, it seems like that would be a better way to showcase which direction they took the roasted product/offering. Otherwise it's a bit more of a battle to show who has the best product in its category (or plural) with the fewest roast defects, no?
20:26 Next month Fabiana is coming to Spain for a 2 day course of the Coffee Sensorium at Hola Coffee Academy, and guess who's going!! Pretty excited for it
This cool and helpful insight especially for folks interested in competition.. But I think I'm learning the limits of what I care about when just enjoying coffee at home. My brewing has become too much of a hobby in the pursuit of marginal gains, overshadowing just enjoying a cup in the morning.
I watch every one of your method episodes and my mental buffer inevitably overloads about 15% of the way through. But it’s still interesting to watch as performance art.
Specific question here, but you said you'd look forward to chatting with us in the comments - If I have dialed in this Takesi Gesha from Coffee Collective using a long-steep version of James Hoffmann's Switch recipe, how much deliciousness am I leaving behind by not dialing it in again with your multi-pour percolation recipe? As the expensive bag is only 120g, I'm wary to mess around with it too much!
This video was exceptionally interesting. Your videos are always good, but this one really took the cake in terms of a topic that is unfamiliar to me as part of a hobby that I really enjoy.
Hey Lance, just wondered if you or anyone you know has developed a pour over recieipe designed for pre-ground coffee? Very grateful to get free coffee at work, but it is preground out of the bag stuff (wierd grind size)
thank you for the insight, very interesting indeed. with these Championships, it seems to me like the roasting is not talked about a whole lot? as in - who does it? is it important even? is it easier to get right than the other aspects maybe?
I do agree with the processing part. It is what I would call, tantamount to "cheating". However, that said, I do enjoy some of the fruit infused carbonic maceration that the Riverdale Estate does in Chikmagalur. But I do come back to conventional washed processes after a few months.
Cea mai mare placere sa ma uit la joc pe zoomul de pe youtube in loc sa fie mai mare video-ul. Doar iubire,mai avem nevoie sa nu aveti bani de bere asa avem content.❤
on an aside, id love to se a video interview or discussion with an old espresso barista like someone in their 70's or 80s who could talk about how espresso flavour profiles have changed, I had an espresso in Italy at a old cafe that was totally different than an espresso I imagined it would be, I think if we tasted espresso from 50 years ago to today would we even drink the old version? ive seen lots of videos about modern espresso profiles but id love to hear the changes
Someone should do a "poor-man's routine" where you present the judges with the simplest but also innovative ways possible to brew. Like start with a cast-iron pot-boiled cowboy coffee and dose it with pipe-tobacco steeped in fresh cow's milk, then follow that with a Cafe Bustelo cold-brew, then finish with an espresso make by a homemade lever machine where they use Folgers beaten to fine with a hammer. Oh and the judges to the hammering.
4:31 , am I over extracting all my coffee then maybe? I was feeling bad using 1g of ground to 10g of brewed doing a sproover. I've played with 60g to 1kg for sproover and i just get dry mouth feel, lots of flavor but lots of tannins regardless of temperature or grind size. Sometimes it's not bad when I grind "super fine" for a sproover for tannins, but mostly I get dry tongue effect even though the flavour/ body is there. For a while I was doing 18-19g of ground to 150g brewed and it was amazing always almost regardless of grind size unless I went super coarse or super fine but I felt bad using that much coffee, so I'm trying to find a way to maximize the ratio but not get dry tannins on the finish.
i also still think that a pourover device that is basically the same design as an angel food cake pan is the best for even extraction. this is purely just thought but i feel it's accurate in principle and more than likely in practice.
I feel like there should be a new competition, or a co-competition with a standard coffee that all competitors must use and try to optimize as best they can.
@@sebastianbjoernestad Oh, well there you go then. Why do people focus on the one with $1k beans when looking to copy technique when it's not relevant to everyday coffee brewing at all.
@@0whitestone waow I never thought of that! Those recipes should honestly be shared by the competitors. It's been right there in front of everyone's eyes and yet we've all missed it 😑
Reminds me of the scene in Sideways where the friend asks “when do we drink it” Are there any competitions around just good drinkable coffee, instead of this abstract stuff?
What if there were ranked categories for different coffee bean types. Like a common, rare, unique bean varietal. We have brew method categories already.
This was by far the most extensive and grounded presentation of brewer's cup I've ever heard. Thanks Lance as always!
Indeed
Word, this was really enlightening. The amount of time really dialing in a brew must take is extraordinary.
💯
Bruh, how did this end up in my feed? This is a whole world I didn’t even know existed. I loved every minute
Buying equipment is easy, dialing in is hard. If you made a series of videos like this where you dial in a brew, I’d watch every video multiple times.
This would be so great, seeing the approach and the thoughts made in the process.
Agree. Want to see more dialing in videos from Lance, where he iterates and discusses which variable to change when for this particular bag of coffee. Like a series “Coffee of the week dialing in”. The community would suggest the coffee to dial in
Agreed! A whole “Dialing” series would be amazing.

Except watching Lance Hendrick while roasting coffee beans that is.
Watching Lance and sipping espresso out of a strippers bellybutton.

Sometimes it's not bad when I grind "super fine" for a sproover for tannins, but mostly I get dry tongue effect even though the flavour/ body is there. For a while I was doing 18-19g of ground to 150g brewed and it was amazing always almost regardless of grind size unless I went super coarse or super fine but I felt bad using that much coffee, so I'm trying to find a way to maximize the ratio but not get dry tannins on the finish.
i also still think that a pourover device that is basically the same design as an angel food cake pan is the best for even extraction.
this is purely just thought but i feel it's accurate in principle and more than likely in practice.
also have you tried any png lately?
I had a chance to taste the Takesi geisha from Coffee Collective. It is very delicious and clean.
What a fudgen stallion ! Lance Hendrick everyone 👏
I feel like there should be a new competition, or a co-competition with a standard coffee that all competitors must use and try to optimize as best they can.
That's literally already a part of brewer's cup!
@@sebastianbjoernestad Oh, well there you go then. Why do people focus on the one with $1k beans when looking to copy technique when it's not relevant to everyday coffee brewing at all.
@@0whitestone waow I never thought of that! Those recipes should honestly be shared by the competitors.
It's been right there in front of everyone's eyes and yet we've all missed it 😑
Why roasters don't put these details on the pack? Like the temp and brew method that would best present their coffee?
What is that lever machine in the background there?
Reminds me of the scene in Sideways where the friend asks “when do we drink it”
Are there any competitions around just good drinkable coffee, instead of this abstract stuff?
What if there were ranked categories for different coffee bean types. Like a common, rare, unique bean varietal. We have brew method categories already.
