Just bought one myself. What I’m gonna try and you should too is I’m gonna pre rinse my coffee before I vac it. Just for kicks and giggles. See if it will change the flavour, my take away some bitterness? I figure they do that with green tea in china?
You mean pre rinse green tea? Well if you mean put a little water to let the leaves absorb water then yes. If you mean rinse the leaves then discard the water then no. Actually it's no longer popular to "wash the tea leaves"
I really enjoy these coffee journey/experiment videos that you make! It's fun going on a journey when you don't know exactly what the destination is going to look like, and you're a great narrator!
Jacob, thank you so much! I never feel super confident going into these experiments, so it's nice to be reminded that it's also about the journey. I'll be going on more journeys in the near future!
This was really cool and you have a cool style. You are seriously underrated and I hope you don't get discouraged from making videos. I used to make TH-cam videos too and getting over that initial hump is really tough but you've got an eye for this I hope you go far. Subbed
Mohammad, this is so kind of you. Thank you very much for telling me this. To be honest, it comes at the right time! I do have more videos in the works, but life is so good at taking over. I will continue with renewed inspiration. I hope you are well and enjoying your weekend.
Also, Stephan, havenyou seen or used the Clover coffee brewing system. It had a vaccum devicein a vertical space with a sort of piston, and you would get your coffee brewed. The Clover System was bought out by Starbucks, and Charbucks just then pretended that it did not exist. See if you can find info on the Clover, it was a new, innovative coffee brewing machine. In 2003 or 2004, I got to try out the Clover, and drank a few cups of coffee made in it, it was pretty good. But it was bought by a large corporation who immediately shelved the Clover to the point that nobody seems to even know about it any more.
Sid, I'm glad you brought this up! I have indeed heard of Clover, but never had the opportunity to try it. Starbucks pulled the system because of a lack of customer interest. However, there were people who swore by it, and many would say that the pull was due to a failure to promote or market. It is what it is. I'm reading that they're trying again with an upgraded version - the Clover Vertica. I'll be sure to try it! The vacuum press technology sounds similar.
You could have used the inexpensive Foodsaver non chamber vacuum sealer with the hose attachment & lid for mason jars. Dump the grounds in the jar with the water or use your cold brew filter, then vacuum seal the jar. Pour the infused water (coffee) & grounds through a cheese cloth/coffee sock to filter the grounds or remove your cold brew filter and you have the desired coffee. Mason jars gives you the verticals ability you talked about without needing a single use device. Your Anova has the ability to hook up the mason jar hose and do the process I described. Larger & more expensive chamber vacs do have the ability to hold small mason jars in the chamber but using the hose attachment is better since you can use larger jars. And you also don’t need to vacuum out as much air.
Thank you very much for this amazing idea! I feel kind of dumb for not thinking of using a mason jar sooner. I knew that the Anova had an accessory port for a hose, but I didn't really look beyond that. Hopefully I can find the right aftermarket lid attachment for it. As for using a Foodsaver, most of the models have pumps with wattage rated only as high as 128W. The Anova is 280W and I suspect that's why it can pull enough pressure for water to boil at room temp in the vacuum. I've tried searching for whether or not a Foodsaver can do this but I'm not having any luck - do you know if it's able to?
@@stephenthorsteinsson I don’t see any reason for you feel dumb. I’ve done vacuum sealing for a while so it’s something that’s crossed my mind. But I never thought about making coffee that way. We both got good ideas from your video. I have seen videos of Foodsavers boiling water but I cannot be sure of the model. So you could be right, the typical Foodsaver might not have the power to pull enough pressure. I let my neighbor use my Foodsaver, we can try & let you know. But if you are going to vacuum seal, chamber is the way to go. The quality & price of bags are reason enough. I use a JVR Vac100 now. Something I just thought of. As Foodsaver & your Anova are oil less pump vacuum sealers, won’t this introduced water vapor into your pump, reducing the life? Doubt it will be an issue just trying but if done often?
Wouldn't it be just easier to have a vaccuum filtration like in labs? A Buchner filter its called. Then you can just run the water/coffee cold through the grind beans as often as needed to get the extraction desired XD
Hi, thanks for your comment! And sorry for the delayed response. So, what I believe you're talking about is a little bit different, but yes, totally a thing. I've seen a pourover cone made by a specialty brand based off of a Buchner filter, and I kept looking for the brand over the past day but couldn't find it. There's another product on the market called VacOne and I believe it works off a similar concept. I say 'different' because a chamber vacuum pulls a full vacuum and it's 'boiling' the water to brew the coffee, whereas with a Buchner-style filter there's simply a little extra force used to help pull the water through finer grounds at a quicker rate than what gravity can provide. I'm not sure why you'd need to re-circulate because ideally the grounds would be fine enough to extract enough for a single pass. But if you're interested in a brewer that explores that concept then you should check out the Osma, if you don't already know about it.
Interesting way to brew a cup of coffee. But, seeing as how much the vaccum device costs, I will stick to using my stainless steel Bodum French Presses. Maybe, I will buy Fellow travel mug. BTW, The Fellow Ode Gen 2 grinder is working very well.
French Press for the win! The chamber vacuum makes an interesting and delightful cup of coffee, but I'd only recommend it to those who were looking for a vacuum sealer to begin with.
Don't sell it. Keep it. If you did, we'll send you another. Keep playing! Try sous vide coffee next.
I kept it! Having too much fun. Can't wait!
Sous vide coffee is so amazing! BTW, I absolutely love my Anova Precision cooker.
Anova how about you don't scam your own consumers instead of glazing content creators?
Just bought one myself. What I’m gonna try and you should too is I’m gonna pre rinse my coffee before I vac it. Just for kicks and giggles. See if it will change the flavour, my take away some bitterness? I figure they do that with green tea in china?
I’m skeptical, but absolutely willing to give it a try. Could be a thing!

This was so funny loved it 😂
🙌
i look at the snazzy labs video, exact same thought, yes vacuum brew, search youtube, this, lovely
What can I say, great minds think alike! 🤣
But seriously, I'm very happy to find someone else who had the same thought. Thank you for the comment!

Super weird science plus coffee…you’ve won me over!!
Amazing! Thanks for watching!

Funny, thought provoking, coffee.
Good video, 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Next time try it with empty tea bags and fill them with coffee. That probably will work
That's a great idea! That will certainly allow for more diffusion.
