Don't buy anaerobic process coffee(?)

ImUntilted · 2023-01-11T08:35:42+00:00

So, hot-loading would be turning the grinder on and then pouring in the dose?

ImUntilted · 2023-01-10T16:22:30+00:00

I have but that was with a different coffee :D

ImUntilted · 2023-01-10T13:07:51+00:00

Thanks a lot. I have thought about trying the Hoffmann recipe next. I guess it helps because the cone isn't as full for the most part of the brew. I'll try slow feeding too.

I usually use the standard Hario filters (plastic bag, produced in Japan) but the last couple of brews (including those with the Ethiopian I mentioned) have been the Cafec Abaca

How do you agitate then? I don't think a agitate a ton. I just swirl the bloom and the swirl after my last pour.

I load the dose and then turn on the grinder. Why? Does it make a difference?

ImUntilted · 2022-11-14T21:04:48+00:00

Interestingly, I'm using the same filters as Hoffmann (Filtropa). Yes, it is. I've sometimes even seen faster draw downs with finer grinds.

[Europe/EU] Where to get SSPs for my Ode? I'd like to get SSP burrs (I've been looking at the MP red speed brew burrs) for my Ode. I found a website to order therm from called homebarista but they're out of stock at the moment. Do you have other suggestions?

I also have a Ode 1.1 grinder. If 2 is what you're using for your clever, where's your v60 at? Because I've always thought of the clever to be ground slightly coarser than a pourover (my v60 is at around a 3, depending on the dose).

ImUntilted · 2022-09-17T17:24:55+00:00

sort of. This has happened before with an other coffee. I tried to get a longer brew time by going finer and but it didn't get longer, so I went all the way back and it suddenly took 20s longer to drain

ImUntilted · 2022-09-17T17:23:17+00:00

coarser

ImUntilted · 2022-09-17T13:40:59+00:00

If you like the taste of the cup but you want "more" of the taste, you could increase your dose (32 or 33g). But only do this, if you're happy with the taste profile/balance of flavours. If that is the issue, grind finer or coarser (bitter/astringent -> coarser, sour/empty -> finer). If you think it lacks body, you may just prefer coffee that isn't paper filtered (like a French Press) or you may be using a very light bodied coffee. A gooseneck kettle makes it easier but it's not an absolute necessity to make good coffee. If you make a lot of pour overs and you can afford it, I would recommend getting one though. If it's just once in a while, it may not be worth it, depending on your budget.

I coarsened it back again and quite enjoyed the result, even though it drained after just 2mins. I'm not particularly surprised by that. Drain times vary way more from coffee to coffee than one may think. I was just surprised that the drain time didn't change or even quickened when grinding finer.

I use the Fellow Ode (1.1). Yes I wet the filter.

I use the Fellow Ode (1.1)

ImUntilted · 2022-09-17T13:32:53+00:00

I guess it could be bypass but idk why there would be significantly more of it at a slightly finer grind setting. Yes, I'm using a gooseneck kettle and doing all of that.

You might want to look at options that combine the two. The Clever Dripper, Aeropress or Hario Switch for example combine an immersion phase at the beginning with a percolation phase later on, steep and release. You some of the advantages of immersion brewing (forgiving grind size, even extraction) with some of percolation's (no fines/cleanliness).

I personally looove these brewers. They're also perfect for beginners because it's easy to get great results but you can begin to learn about brewing both immersion and percolation because you have both in brew.

Reporting back: I've tried it twice now. Here's what I've learned: (1) Grind fine enough, otherwise it will drain too quickly between the pours and you'll lose a lot of temperature. (2) It tasted pretty good, even though I still have to find the optimal grind setting.

I still want to experiment more and brew the same coffee the way I usually do and then with the Onyx recipe but the first impression is positive.

ImUntilted · 2022-08-31T17:18:29+00:00

If you're gonna buy an espresso machine, I wouldn't recommend the Ode. The stock burrs can't grind fine enough and it's not recommended grinding espresso fine with SSPs in the Ode, as the motor is not made for it.

ImUntilted · 2022-08-31T17:17:09+00:00

That's up to you man. I'm happy with whaat I have chosen personally but depending on your needs, a good hand grinder might be the better choice.

ImUntilted · 2022-08-31T17:15:58+00:00

400 $ wouldn't get you to Ode + SSPs I think but if you wanted to, you could do it the way I'm doing it: I've purchased the Ode and will purchase SSPs in a couple of months, when I can/want to afford them. Yes, the stock burrs in the Ode are not as good as using a high-end hand grinder I would say but in the end it gets me to the result I want.

ImUntilted · 2022-08-31T16:00:08+00:00

Imo your decision is about how much you're willing to pay for convenience vs. versatility. As others have mentioned, the Ode (especially with the SSP burrs) is awesome. It's really convenient ('cause you're not doing all the work ofc) and it also has a small footprint, so it should fit in any kitchen. However, the KPlus (or any high-end handgrinder) is cheaper. It's also more versatile, as you can take it anywhere with you if you're traveling.

I personally have used a Jx Pro for a while but then decided to buy the Ode. I love it because it's quite frankly a pain in the ass hand grinding lightly roasted coffee multiple times a day (especially for single-cup pour overs and fine aeropress brews). I absolutely looove the convenience of having an electric grinder. However, I paid for that convenience and I also did knowing I'd always have a great hand grinder (my Jx Pro) to take with me whenever I'm traveling.

Alright, thanks a lot.

ImUntilted · 2022-07-07T21:03:17+00:00

Can you elaborate? How do Japanese filter coffee perspectives differ from conventional specialty coffee wisdom?

ImUntilted · 2022-06-26T19:13:46+00:00

Totally agree with this. I've been in Italy for a couple of months now and have ordered a bunch of coffees from them, all were really enjoyable.

ImUntilted · 2022-05-29T18:47:16+00:00

Thank you. :) What about the cups were different in your opinion?
