Coffee Recipe of the week: V60 – pouring differently

What’s new in this recipe? 
The factor I am exploring is the pouring. 

All other variables stayed the same, and the only thing I am changing is the way I pour. In one of the last videos of James Hoffmann where he is exploring different pour over brewers, he mentioned that April Brewer has a special recipe for it.  And since then the thing that I wanted to try was to use that recipe brewing a V60. 

The main feature of it is using a combined pour – 100 grams of water in 10 seconds, divided into 30 grams circular pour (roughly around 2 circles) and 70 grams right in the center.

One more V60 this week – this time exploring such factors as bloom time, the influence of preheating the ceramic and using just one long steady continuous pour! All of it to make enough coffee for 2 people in less than 4 minutes.

Coffee Recipe of the week: Moka Pot

This time I am gonna explore with you a recipe for a device that is extremely popular between coffee drinkers, and hugely underestimated by coffee enthusiasts. Moka Pot. Most probably you’ll find it in every house, and most probably even your grandmother can share with you her recipe.

The main feature of this recipe is using 3 equal pours and extended blooming time (up to 1 minute). I have also learned something from the previous recipe, so I let the V60 to cool down before brewing.

The recipe that I am featuring today is some sort of an adjustment of the George Howells recipe for the Chemex.

The main feature of this recipe is using 3 equal pours and extended blooming time (up to 1 minute). I have also learned something from the previous recipe, so I let the V60 to cool down before brewing.

Coffee Recipe of the week: V60

Today I am trying out the recipe of Chad Wang, the winner of 2017th Brewers Cup

The key concept of his V60 recipe – no circular motion when pouring, and pre-heating with 300 grams of hot water – and then letting it to cool down for 10-15 minutes! The recipe itself is super simple, so the key here is precision, good water and exceptional coffee.

The funny thing about this recipe is that you have to really control the brewing temperature – the water tends to cool down rapidly, so make sure you are not starting to brew at 92, but then dropping to 88 or 86. It matters.
