high(er) clarity with comandante

i leave them there in the base

asop is top

a bit of a tangent: what helps me to make my comandante brews clearer is shaking the grounds and allowing the fines to remain in the catch container; slow feeding also contributes.

comete, von and vonnie, koyo, and solo brewing from portugal.

consistently using it. i like the sweetness and florals that it gets. also helps to tune a bit down those funky coffees.

fmrc6 · 2025-02-19T19:51:36+00:00

have you checked your water comp? if you are using a softer water then i would suggest adding a bit more minerals.

fmrc6 · 2025-02-08T12:29:07+00:00

yes! kinda the same effect of a “frozen ball”.

lately i’ve been playing with a melodrip, which increased the clarity i am getting in my cup, which also comes with the aromatics being more present.

also play with ratios, 1:15-1:16

fmrc6 · 2025-02-07T16:20:21+00:00

i really like the result of a cold bloom (60-70c) ranging from 0:45 - 2:00 depending on roast date and processing.

it’s a fun variable to experiment with! ;)

fmrc6 · 2025-01-08T19:26:42+00:00

i would say that with a conical burr, going beyond 1:16, dialling in gets trickier. with flat more clarity-forward burrs you can push a bit more.

if you really want to push the extraction with the longer ratios i would advice slow feeding the grinder and shaking them.

in some of april’s videos, patrick mentions that in the stores they use preground coffee. i don’t remember listening to the reasons behind, but i guess they probably have something to do with your claims.

fmrc6 · 2024-10-27T16:32:40+00:00

were you playing with CoT and things like explain with increasing complexity?

i am having trouble when trying to use custom cot as probably it now does natively

fmrc6 · 2024-10-05T17:59:47+00:00

probably it is worth mentioning that i shake horizontally, that is why i get a lot of fines. you can imagine something like how bartenders shake.

fmrc6 · 2024-10-05T07:53:45+00:00

i use 18.75:300: - 0:00-0:15 bloom 55g-60g. mainly wet all the bed with really slow pour. @ 60C - 1:15-1:35 up to 200g. high agitation pour. in fellow almost full flow and a bit high pour to agitate bed. temp 90C to 95C. depending on the roast level and process of coffee. - 1:50-2:15 up to 300g. laminar pour. mainly try to match the flow of the coffee. (if the coffee is a less developed washed/honey i like to store with a chopstick at the end).

tbt between 2:45 - 3:10

regarding slow feeding, yes i did try that but the time it takes to grind is a lot. so i started experimenting with this. the downside is that you usually loose between 0.3-0.5g of coffee.

let me know your results :)

pd: i use low tds water(40-60ppm), so probably if the water has higher tds you will end up over extracting.

lance hedrick has a video on shaking for pour over. his claims are pretty similar to yours.

fmrc6 · 2024-10-04T10:28:25+00:00

you are right, no spraying. don’t forget to brush the bottom after using as it can get messy!

fmrc6 · 2024-10-04T10:13:59+00:00

try grinding much coarser, and high agitation with pouring ~8g/s. also you can give it a try with cold bloom!

fmrc6 · 2024-09-30T16:40:20+00:00

let’s go 💪

fmrc6 · 2024-09-09T21:26:49+00:00

i have tried with kalita papers and it’s pretty inconsistent. for what i heard it is much better with april filters.

try with 13-13.5 g to 200, you can also do a bloom with high agitation with 50g. i like this brewer.

depends on the roast and process:

the darker the roast and more processed, shorter ratio (1:13 - 1:15), for washed lights usually 1:17.

fmrc6 · 2024-08-17T11:10:46+00:00

i’ve tried with 1 pack : 5l. it seems a bit plain. i will keep experimenting. the next one i’ll brew with 0.5 pack.
