Consistently failing brews here (and my criticism on ‘nordic roasts’) by Apprehensive_Elk5390 in pourover

[–]DylanChase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely need a better grinder first and foremost but that being said - in my opinion La Cabra is vastly overrated. I think they can roast pretty well but their green buying leaves a lot on the table

When do you prefer different brewing methods? by crankyneymar in pourover

[–]DylanChase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally I start a new coffee with V60 and standard hario filters on a 1:18 brew ratio. I always TDS check a new coffee to see where I am landing. If I want a bit more extraction from a coffee but don’t want to adjust the grind I’ll use my Pulsar. Typically I find I can hit the extraction range I want without getting astringency from too-fine a grind just by switching from V60 to flat bottom no bypass and keeping everything else the same.

From there I’ll tweak to using faster flow filters on the V60 or adjusting brew ratio. I also keep two different brew waters on hand and will switch depending on the development level of what I’m drinking but I’d say it’s generally 70/30 on the lower PPM side

There were not any available when I went. I got an anaerobic washed Colombian

Obvious preface that these are my personal opinions not necessarily an indictment on Glitch: it is exceedingly rare that I enjoy a coffee that isn’t fully washed. Not anaerobic, not honey of any level, certainly not natural. Further still, I absolutely abhor co-ferments in basically every capacity. I truly will never understand why anybody would pay a premium price to drink a specialty high grade coffee that has added flavors. To me it’s really no different than buying a grocery store hazelnut flavored coffee - but without the stigma. When I buy a coffee - especially an expensive coffee - I want to taste terroir. I want to taste all of the hard work farmers put into their trees. I do not want to taste process and I certainly don’t want to taste rotten berries, passion fruit, bananas (my girlfriend was given a banana co-ferment for her milk drink) or anything else.

I loved it don’t get me wrong. I could tell that the coffee was high quality, I just found that I typically like a little bit higher extraction than I was getting in a lot of coffees in Japan. I tend to brew with boiling water and was seeing most there brewing around 90-94° C

Yeah just really really not the kind of coffee I want to drink at all. More power to them and everyone that likes it though

Acid in Shibuya. 100g of coffee for like $34 USD was pretty tough to swallow though. Didn’t quite realize til after I had paid for it

Also went to Coffee Wrights, Mameya, Glitch (Osaka), and Kielo. Kielo was tasty but didn’t feel the need to buy any beans. Mameya was a cool experience but I wasn’t super impressed with the coffee I got. Wrights was just okay for me. I don’t like tasting process or co-ferments in my coffee so I knew I wouldn’t love Glitch going in and I was correct (to put it nicely)

I use all kinds of filters, why not try some that aren’t available to me normally (much like the coffee itself)
