[@harvdog26]

Kyle you're the man! Thanks for the helpful tips

[@Zeratul1981]

Wow. That was the most response I've ever had to a post on youtube. Thanks guys I'm touched.

[@JXC59]

excellent work!!

[@pkboyee]

ive got a silvia too... it's not easy to use, but so fun

[@lovingromance]

i don't use a siphon that way...but then again, he's winning competitions and i'm just making coffee in a coffee shop

[@espressoplanet]

Do you still tap the portafilter with your tamper before brewing? I had thought that it would cause cracks in the coffee bed and would only hinder your espresso by helping the water travel down the path of least resistence, causing channeling.

[@Chiro75]

This guy is a real scientist! Interesting!

[@Zeratul1981]

At 3:20 did he say "burnt wheat" or "burnt meat"? I listened to it 5 times and couldn't quite make up my mind.

[@klarinetta]

@jdharding2 What kind of grinder do you have ?

[@yourmartyr]

Anybody know what brand of vacuum pot he was using?

[@klarinetta]

I sometimes get confused when watching these coffee videos from USA. F° and Oz(ok I'm beginning to get comfortable with Oz) but F° I don't get. I'm on the other hand very familiar with C° and ml or liter.

[@roman21000]

It's funny how he says "I set between fine and extran fine" LOL
that grinder sucks not fine enough...

[@JmanEspresso]

Its a Yama TCA-5 Syphon.

[@HotDogLA]

the best coffee ever! woohooo

[@XxCH33SEC4KExX]

He defffffffffinitely says 'Wheat'

[@sebcreative]

how about a tripod? camera work would highly benefit it.

[@tyothai]

even though kyle set it coarser after the first pull?

[@vicarious1984]

so 2008!

[@MaynardLD50]

He's definitely saying burnt meat, that horrible smell that a burger gives when you forget to flip it.

[@brunogalati3498]

thats what he needs to get

[@snarephan]

I'm pretty sure he said wheat.
