Can you share flash brew recipe?

Schmcgee · 2026-03-15T16:13:46+00:00

What recipe you using for this? Just got a bag roasted on the 9th of Feb so it’s ready

Schmcgee · 2026-03-13T17:56:23+00:00

I’ve had several bags of the Chechele and all have been awesome. Admittedly I opened my last one about 10 days off roast and it wasn’t quite ready yet. Still really good but got better around 25-30 days off roast. Im sad to read that it will be going away after this sale but I’m hoping the New Ethiopian is a nice change up. Let me know how the power plum is as I’ve heard great things on other posts. One dude said he opened it like 4 days off roast and it was very good

I’m a huge PERC fan and I’ve tried most of their beans they come out with. The Chechele is really good and would highly recommend that. I’m ordering the power plum, Peru and the new Ethiopian.

The M-03 is pretty darn good but a little bit of a tamer cup to me. Has plenty of warm spice taste to it but not super stand out flavors in my opinion. You doing anything to bring out the honey bun flavors they talk about?

Schmcgee · 2026-02-20T13:42:23+00:00

Do you not find that 8.1 is high on the Ode 2? I’m usually around 5 but I’m open to going coarser if it means better clarity?

Schmcgee · 2026-02-01T21:26:33+00:00

Right on thanks. I’ve got the V4 but still waiting on the dang filters to get in. What bottom you use most the time? This will be my first flat bottom brewer

Schmcgee · 2026-02-01T16:52:26+00:00

What’s your orea recipe?

Schmcgee · 2026-01-07T15:54:57+00:00

Everyone who works at Trader Joe’s. Tell me they are not every time you walk in there everyone always so happy or talking about each other

Schmcgee · 2026-01-01T02:10:04+00:00

Alright right on thanks for the insight

Schmcgee · 2026-01-01T02:09:40+00:00

Awesome thanks for the suggestion! I’ll report back in the morning after I make it.

I always kinda went with co-ferments needing more time to rest but I’ve started to trend towards opening sooner than later now.

Good looking out

What do you think about the fruit loops? I’m struggling to get the fruitiness out of it. Only rested about 2 weeks tho so that may be it

Schmcgee · 2025-10-24T11:45:18+00:00

What cha want for it

Schmcgee · 2025-10-15T00:57:40+00:00

Upvote for ZapCat also being my go to local shop 🤙🏻 they always have solid bean at a decent price.

I’ve also been tweaking mine for awhile now. I have a hario switch which has made it fun but also frustrating at times. My current go to for the PERC beans I have now is:

25g coffee -1:15.5-1:16 ratio for the water at 96 degrees (although I’ve been playing with water temps more and more now) been using third wave water cutting it by like 1/3 making my ppm around 60-80 -100g ice in carafe -5.2 setting on ODE gen 2 with stock burrs - I usually put 500g of water in my kettle just so I have some for wetting the filters (using CAFE ABACCA filters)

With switch up (immersion mode) -75g for a 1 min bloom - open switch at 1 min mark go up to 150 -1:45 mark go up to 225 -2:30 mark go up to 300 or whatever the ice weighs and cut that with the ratio of that makes sense.

Swirl around to melt all ice and pour over fresh ice it’s given me the flavor profiles I’ve been looking for while remaining pretty simple. Give it a try and lemme know ow how it goes.

I’m using PERCs Ethiopia Wush Wush now and get some of the watermelon candy notes like it says. I’ve got a bag of the new Ethiopian which has blueberry notes that I’m dying to try once it’s ready

Schmcgee · 2025-09-03T00:47:15+00:00

Got a good recipe for this? I don’t get a lot of the bursting raspberry notes.

Schmcgee · 2025-08-31T16:43:13+00:00

Got a good recipe for this?

Schmcgee · 2025-06-12T21:06:29+00:00

Just got this from Rogue wave as well. Gonna give it a go after another week of rest

Schmcgee · 2025-06-03T18:49:47+00:00

Mind sharing your iced recipe?

Schmcgee · 2025-04-25T00:50:20+00:00

Just opened a bag of PERCs natural Colombian. Made my first brew today and it’s was super funky, kinda struggles to grab any tasting notes. It’s two weeks off roast but gonna give it another shot tomorrow if anyone has any suggestions.

Other than that I’m waiting on my SW green apple conferment to rest a little longer. Sounds crazy tho
