@@coffeewithapril In the prep for the Brewers cup I learned a lot. 2 big points I took away as a home brewer: 1) get a base recipe and really understand it, for example, use the 12/200 2 pour April recipe or a 2 pour bloom recipe. I like a 15g to 240g with a 40g bloom and then the 200g with medium grind. Once you really understand it you can play with ratio, bloomtime and agitation to manipulate extraction and get what you want from a particular coffee. 2) Improve your palette by cupping as often as possible and consciously tasting everything.

Mariam can also increase contact time by slowing down the flow rate at the center pour part.

Today I brewed with the Chemex for the first time in a long time. I used light roasted Colombia Aponte honey that at 22 clicks on the Comandante brewed with Origami and V60 filter felt a little bit over extracted and not as clean as I had as a batch brew at a cafe recently. I then thought I might try it as a Chemex because I love high grown Colombians and Ethiopians in the Chemex. I took the grind size to my usual 26 Clicks for Chemex with paper filter. 31.5 grams to 500ml took about 4:30 min to drip through and it just felt under extracted and not so clean. I'm sure when saying very coarse you are using something closer to 30 clicks on the Comandante. James Hoffman says use the same grind size as for V60 and let it take longer time to filter through. I'm trying to find some middle ground here. Oh well taste is a spectrum.

@cr3at0rgamer677 күн бұрын
How I understand it, it kinda makes sense though. Taking a steady declining ror for example. If you reach fc at for example 6:48 minutes, that means that you have put much energy into the roast which now roasts the coffee faster til reach of a specific „roast color“. But now if you take the same steadily declining ror on a roast, that hit fc at 10:12, you now have less energy in the system taking the roast forward till it finishes. Which means you need to wait longer after fc for the roast to be at a specific roast degree. Just like you said. It is guided by time vs temperature. Or am I missing something here? Curious to know.

@@coffeewithapril In my opinion the sibarist booster helps you keeping a consistent flow rate even if you're not very good at pouring water, it sorts of allows more mistakes to be made when pouring since it creates some space between the base of the brewer and the paper filter which makes it really hard to clog, so.. it doesn't really make a lot of different when it comes to taste (if you're really good at brewing...) but makes it easier for home baristas, i use it all the time with my KALITA 155 and it really made a big different in flow rate.

Those I haven't tried but they're supposed to be pretty good, if you're wanting more clarity try slow feeding the coffee into the burrs. Also high extracting basket might help. If you want higher clarity you're probably better off upgrading to the SSP MP burrs rather than swapping to the 078s grinder, it was more of a balanced profile on that... not bad clarity but I would suspect DF64 with those burrs wouldn't be too far off from the 078s.
