What a bunch of bull! Coffee making is very simple: hot water should flow slowly through the grains. The water/Coffee ratio is up to what you enjoy. That's it. Anything else is bs.

Not sure why you have moved away from anaerobic processes. Even if you disagree with cofermentation using fruits/yeasts/etc, not all anaerobic processed coffee are cofermented. We now know anaerobic environment can be a useful tool for carefully controlling the fermentation process. The idea that you are actively trying to punish coffee farmers/processors attempting to improve their coffee seems befuddling. Not to mention some portion of the coffee is practically in anaerobic environment in washed processing anyway.

I feel like people are angry at the price point rather than the dripper. While I agree that the dripper is excessively expensive, why are people making 'pointless' criticisms? Lawsuits from Hario? The metal ball switch design is nearly prehistoric. It would be more reasonable for Melitta to file lawsuits against all the other coffee dripper companies.

So mega excited for your hand grinder releasing! Any hints as to whether we are talking early or late ‘25 launch?

Thank you for always sharing coffee knowledge and your perspective on coffee. I enjoy the home brewing videos as they show different ideas and perspectives as normal individuals see brewing and coffee in general, Hope to see more in 2025.

Development? You mean copy the Hario Switch but use a different filter, right? I know you’re going to rebuttal by claiming a previous design and you have a team of engineers (probably just one lawyer pointing out possible litigation). I still prefer the switch because their filters are less prone to water bypass. You could’ve at least change the look from the switch or make improvements.

Love home brewing videos! Keep them up!

any reason you arent doing aneroibics anymore when the industry seems to be pushing further towards them

I just got my April dripper and it made one of the best coffees I’ve ever had! Looking forward to what you guys do in 2025!

I really enjoyed spending 2024 with April Coffee and the Team. Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy a lot of delicious coffee and experience great equipment. Have a wonderful end of the year and take a good vacation! I’m looking forward to 2025 as well. So excited! In 2025, I want to explore not only brewing but also espresso. Currently, I’m extracting beans that are medium to dark roasted, but I’m having some difficulty extracting beans that are medium to light roasted. It would be great if you could introduce content related to this! 😊😊😊

Great insight, Tetsu talked about this temperature thing in his own way too, nice to hear another take

Nothing is sadder than the day you drop your Origami and it breaks in two. I know that sadness all too well!

Thank You Patrik and Pascal for sharing a video with full of insights and valuable takeaways. 😉😊😉 Pascal's Recipe 16.5g, 26 Clicks Commandante Grind Size 0:00 92°C, 60g Circle Pour (Increases level of extraction) 0:40 85°C, 60g Circle Pour + 100g Low Slow Center Pour (Increases flow rate and reduces astringency by providing an immersion effect) 2:15 OUT

Smart people. None with an American accent.

Hario switch?

What's a clics? To me, it's a kilometer, which it totally out of context 🤔

Absolutely love the ceramic and glass april brewers, even picked up the matte black ceramic one you guys released a while back. Hoping there will be a version of the Hybrid April that has no plastic parts in contact with the water at all - that‘d be a first on the market, as the Hario Switch doesn‘t have that either. Will pick one up in no time if you guys can make that happen 🙏🏼

I noticed it on the webshop a week ago but then was removed. Assumed it was sold out or pulled until I saw this video.

So you guys prefer a steep at the end of the brew, rather than at the start?

Nice color of the shirt! man

i use your recipie and it tastes good.tnks

Är du Jesus? 😮

Thanks for your sharing!

Really interesting episode! Listened many times and never boring. Maybe soon an update about the Istanbulite specialty coffee scene?

Hi Patrik, when dialling in a coffee for filter do you pre-grind the day before a scheduled dial-in time or do you grind as you brew in the hope that consistency and complexity increases after a day of resting? Thank you!

Just received my white plastic April brewer in Mexico, but it's my christmas gift so I'm not allowed to use it until that day haha. Looking forward to it.

Come to Finland please!

Hey Patrik, love drinking the Volcan Azul on Espresso. I was wondering how far off roast your pre ground filter brews tend to be in your stores? Thanks!

what would be your time limit for pre grinding coffee?

Where do you want our next April POP-UP to be?

Such a cool video! And the fact about the potato smell of Rwanda haha)))

In Patriks home brew video, he used an Ode 2, like many of us. And I believe the setting was 5.1 there, which is supposedly around 600 microns. Do you recommend going closer to setting 6 or even higher, or still suggest around 5.1 generally?

Just as important is the source of the hot water, if it's from a plastic filled hot water source, it defeats the purpose.

do you happen to know what would be an approximate conversion of 9 setting into microns? thanks!

3:05 You said you were grinding a bit finer than you usually go on the Timemore 078 at a 7. What setting do you usually grind at on the 078? Thank you.

It's great to see how you are constantly improving and giving us the opportunity to drink better coffee at home 👍 I liked the simplicity of your suggested pours with the "old" april filter better, 2 pours instead of 4 pours for 13g. Less room to make mistakes when brewing. What would you say, how big is the sensory difference in direct comparison?

What should be the water temperature?

Considering that one of the original advantages of the wave-shape flat-bottom filters is the slow flow rate (and the sweetness this brings), it's interesting to see that the faster flow rate of this Sibarist paper makes it more similar to the cone-shaped V60 filters.

Hi, It would be interesting to know if, after 5 years, you still follow the same approach to making espresso or if you changed the way you make it: ratio, volume, over- or underdosing the basket, ect. Any chance for an update?

Hyped ❤

This is very interesting. When will April Hybrid Brewer be available again?

Hello! What grind size what you recommend and contact time while brewing a batch ? Lets say for a liter of water

Hey Patrik! Why not having a monthly subscription option with paper filters included in it -- e.g. 1x 250g April filter + 1x paper filter? This makes sense especially for your followers outside Denmark, not having access to April's paper filters.

I've been looking forward to seeing fluteless flat bottom papers for the April brewer for some time. I'm curious, how are these different to the sibarist fast flat? Also, is the difference in the cup really worth 2.5x the price of April filters or 4x/5x the price of kalita papers. At this price I would probably hesitate to use them except for problematic beans, stalling issues particularly.

I love Sibarist filters and use them for other brewers as well such as Orea, V60, switch. Ordered 2 packs of these today, as soon as they were up on the site. Can’t wait to try them on April brewers

😮

For those worried about prolonged hot water contact with plastic leaching with the regular Aeropress, theres a fantastic solution I've been using with stellar results with an alternate brewing method using the original Aeropress. So simple and it's actually way more efficient than the regular way using a lot less grounds to get the same strength coffee. So simple, just boil enough water as if you were brewing to the 1.5 or 2.5 mark in the Aeropress but instead of putting it in the aeropress, just add about 1/2 to 3/4 scoop of grounds to a glass or stainless cup or 12-20 oz milk frothing pitcher and add the boiling water to the same vessel. What you're doing is brewing outside of the Aeropress in a non plastic container. The beauty of this method is you can leave the coffee brewing as long as you like and let it cool down to room temperature and get maximum extraction without bad flavors. Then after it has cooled, pour it into the Aeropress and press the cooled coffee. What you've made is a cooled down strong espresso type shot that had only a few seconds of contact time with the plastic. Now you just boil some water to add creamer to or steam some milk to dilute and bring the coffee back up to hot drinking temp. Seems to taste just as good as Brewing the regular way to me, if not better. The verdict is still out on that and I need to do more trials with various types of coffee. You can also use this method to Brew several batches in advance and store in the fridge for coffee concentrate always ready to use.
