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.
Who has ever looked for winning aeropress recipes and tried to repeat them at home? I am guilty, I’ve tried. And I am almost sure that if you are here, reading this – you have done it as well.
How were the results?
Mine… Were controversial. I mean, those are the winning recipes, they must taste very good – that’s the point, no? But they kinda were tasting just ok. Just fine. In the beginning. And when the coffee cooled down – they were not tasty anymore.

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.
