The only instructions I heard were to bloom the coffee and use regular (not distilled) water. I came for tips on temperature, grind, coffee/water ratio, and brewing time, for which I'm grateful to have heard ranges and expected effects.

This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

[@folktraditionvintage]

I started using "pour over coffee" when I was too cheap to buy a coffee maker. Bought a plastic one at Walmart for like $5. I have a friend that calls it a "camper's brew" which I like better. Its real simple to use and I think the fact that you don't need electricity for a good cup of coffee is what makes it special.

[@a3a14613]

Exactly. I'm off grid and any electric coffee makers I've found require 1500 watts, a big, noisy generator.

[@impossibilidades2092]

The thing about water temperature.... it's kind of the opposite

[@Ma_Ba]

You caught their mistake about the dark roast and light roast temperatures! Dark roasts are already broken down by the roasting, so more permeable at a lower temp compared to the light roasts needing a higher temp for solvent. They didn't make a mistake about saying to drink at a lower temperature though. This is for health AND ability to appreciate taste better at a lower temperature. (History and epidemiology: Eastern Euro countries used a samovar for heat AND as a boiler for tea. They have lowered the high occurence of throat cancers -of non smokers, non alcoholics- by reducing the temp of tea drinks by just a few degrees. See NIH study summaries.)

[@truder55]

I believe that is how it was originally taken by the caravan guys way way back when. Before they figured out how to make a drink with coffee beans it was a kinda trail mix to keep'em going through the long nights treks thru the desert.

[@rbnhd1976]

WeAlmostDied I nibble a bean here and there, also grind a fine bit on a cheese cake, trust me it's great

[@littleprincess4615]

Why stop there. Snort it

[@ryanb783]

I believe you would typically use lower temp water on darker roasts and hotter for lighter roasts.

[@DonTestosterone]

I was searching through the comments, to see if this was pointed out by others.

[@DonTestosterone]

believw you are right on that

[@explorebrew]

I agree with this.

[@ddewittfulton]

I like the pour over method very much. I appreciate the lack of sediment. It also seems to be ready temperature-friendly for drinking faster than other methods. I think grind size is a very important consideration because I have found that if it is too fine (including medium fine. That's a setting just before my finest burr setting on my KitchenAid attachment) the filtering takes too long and the first cup is no longer an ideal temperature. A pleasant surprise... I have had good success with pre-ground coffee from Trader Joe's. I usually keep a bag for when I just want a quick cup with milk and perhaps sweetener or when I want iced coffee. The grind size of that TJs uses is actually ideal for pour over and I get terrific results even though it might not as fresh as whole-bean. I've read that pour over is a better method for lighter roasts than dark roasts, but that difference is probably missed by my palate.

[@thebreakofdawnzinaz2898]

U used to let all these tips and exactness scare me. Now I just make a pour over and it is always amazing!

[@guymangus3797]

Some sure fire info in this. I've been making pour over coffee for several years off and on with mixed results. I was making a couple of the mistakes shown in this video and corrected them and made my best pour over ever! Many thanks!

[@lectorintellegat]

Combining metric with imperial measurements - great idea, guys. When I’m tired on a morning and I need coffee, I’ll be sure to recite those conversion tables I’ve obviously memorised.

[@j.d.5709]

NathanLPaylor I’ve personally found the process of pour over to actually help wake me up.

[@himynameisntbob1]

As an American student with different teachers that use both systems, I can easily convert both. I’m sure anyone under like 25 can as well.

[@LordRzeznik6]

Isn't the temperature thing exactly opposite to what You said? (3:20)

[@Anonyhouse]

I only drink pour-over coffee now, Hario v60 dripper & paper, and an ELECTRIC gooseneck kettle heated to exactly 95°c for water. Even bought a hand grinder cause why not... feels like the extra effort makes the coffee taste better.

[@Lagunaturbia]

Can someone explain to me the tip at 3:20 ? Shouldn't it be the other way around...?

[@drizer4real]

It really works btw, tried it this way today and the coffee indeed had a much more pronounced flavour

[@coffeeandpeach]

i put coffee in the filter and pour boiling water on it and then i wait til it‘s done. tastes amazing every time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@JayFunningham]

Lots of things taste amazing till we experience them taken to the next level.

[@benedux]

"pour boiling water on it", I'm guessing it already cools down by the time you pour it or I just don't believe you. No good coffee is made with boiling water

[@kalavining2737]

That's because you haven't had it done right, or at least close to right 😂 once you do, you will see why that tastes awful

[@LennyandSandi]

Great...thanks! I clicked on the link, where is the guide located?

The webpage mentioned at 4:42 doesn't exist anymore. :(

[@Rache_777]

above all steps mentioned my question is will the coffee taste better if it's freshly grinded ?

[@m.s.flores]

I've heard there's a huge debate on this! And the difference between manual and electric ground is hotly contested too as far as i know. I think for the average layperson the taste is nominal especially if you're adding anything to your coffee. ❤

thank you for a very descriptive video - I now make a very delicious cup of coffee

[@drunksaru]

for someone who has been trying to perfect my own pour over techniques, I have nothing bad to say about these tips. It would be interesting to see a part two of this video that goes over more in-depth information on technique. One thing I've noticed (which is something I haven't heard anyone talk about in youtube videos) is depending on how much coffee you decide to brew, using the right gooseneck kettle is essential. I usually pour one cup at a time which is about 8-12 oz using my Hario V60 Size 01. With this, I use a kettle with a very small spout which helps with my control of how much water goes in = maintain a slower drip, increasing better extraction while producing more bubbles to give me a smoother texture. They say while your pouring the water, don't get too close to the edge and the rule i've been taught is leave about 1cm of space from the wall/edge. With a kettle that has a very small spout, I can get about 0.5 cm from the wall without screwing things up because of the control you have. Does this change the taste? not really, but when I like to show off, it's fun. Of course, If I use a larger dripper that makes 4-8 cups of coffee, using more coffee grounds, I'll use a larger spout kettle. This is something I learned in the last couple of years after my mentor advised me with trying different kettles.

[@ssofft]

@3:19 I think you have it backwards. Lighter roasts usually require higher temperatures, and darker roasts are more tolerant to water that's not as hot.

[@kayedal-haddad]

What's the name of the glass that the coffee is stored initially in?

[@ericw4377]

Does anyone in the UK have a good suggestion for water please? What do you use? Thanks!

You can say what you want but I really like to do this as my own little morning ritual, morning air the scent of grinded beans, lofi hiphop on the background, it is the best

[@knowall5792]

For me, the most important is to grind the coffee immediately before brewing. Rest I leave to my coffee percolator.

[@freddieslaughter1107]

I use city water, but I filter it with my Berkey filter. When using a tea kettle on the stove, what do you use to check your temperature, how do you maintain an even temperature? I use coffee beans and grind my own, what is the best grams of coffee for 15 oz mug?

[@iwangmail]

My ratio for coffee is 1:15, 10g coffee with 150ml hot water. 1oz=30ml 15oz=450ml If use ratio 1:15, for 15 Oz need 30g coffee

[@Fatima-fq9gr]

I dont use a scale but make the best poot over every morning but the fold and wet the filter is new thanx. No machines for me anymore.

[@ivanivan-tf9si]

Thanks for advices.

[@julialyutenko3480]

Thanks for sharing this useful video. Can't wait to start practicing my first pour-over coffee

[@svd348]

Tell me why I shouldn't pour around the sides? I would think that would help bring coffee that sticks around the top of the funnel back down and so get more flavor out of all the grinds instead of just the bottom... There's probably something I don't understand. Tell me! Thanks.

[@rustler08]

Because pouring around the sides will lift and push the grounds inward, which will result in that water not flowing through the grounds. Thus, you will get less extraction, resulting in weaker/more watery coffee.

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Excellent point. Thanks for sharing!

[@ahagamama]

make sure your cup, mug or carafe is preheated. I just fill them with very hot water and let them sit while I grind.

[@ilhammagribi]

what's the point of preheated actually?

[@MaliohammadDesigns]

Keeps your coffee hotter for longer.@@ilhammagribi

[@aeonjoey3d]

Meh

[@Carlos-ig6oo]

Where can I get that little stovetop?

[@redsquirrel6131]

I use a metal pour over and it said I don't need a paper filter and I like that because... Trees... But the water runs through really really fast. Like a 12 ounce cup is done in under a minute. Am I doing something wrong here? Am I going to be forced to use paper filters?

[@xteric1]

What’s Brand is your gas stove?

[@RayCornett]

I have that kettle! Well, not yet. It's on its way. But, if you only pour into the center, how is this involving the grounds on the outter edge of the grounds? Wouldn't you want all grounds involved in the process the entire time?

[@marijamusic9259]

Great info.

[@Selena-ee6ch]

I got a pour over coffee thing today on a whim because I thought it would be simpler than pulling out the coffee maker every morning. But I'm learning from several videos that I can't use tap water and need a special kettle......

[@CanoeToNewOrleans]

Why should I fold the paper filter?

[@arnarne]

Looks like he is using a porcelain Melitta filter holder. Are they still available?

[@balladstar]

Having a hard time finding the list on your site.

[@misZdharlynJOY]

Which is better the French press or pour over .. also is the Vietnamese coffee filter a type of pour over ?

[@MrAndroid1337]

misZdharlynJOY I’m sure you found an answer but just Incase you didn’t, and for others. There isn’t really a better one as those are on white opposite sides of the spectrum of flavors. It’s more of a personal preference as a french press is usually more of a bolder cup of coffee and a pour over, such as the Chemex is more of a tastier. And when I say tastier, I mean clearer and less bold. That doesn’t mean the french press is not tasty as that’s all I’ve been drinking. I have yet to try a pour over because I’m intimidated by all the techniques and what not but i hope this helped. Side note however, there are pour over methods such as the v60 or even others that are more bold than the Chemex but less bold than the frenchpress. There’s even hybrid immersion pour over brewers too. Hoped this helped

[@unclebensrice4702]

This vid is so useful

[@LukemjRN]

I just want to ask where did you purchase you coffee glass. I just love it. Can you get it online?

[@ProductivitySoftwareResearch]

Tip #4 ditch the old style ceramic that you are using and switch over to a Hario v60 I used to use the same ceramic as you. I have found that with Hario I can use same amount of water with 30% less coffee grind and get the same flavor. Try Hario and you'll switch almost instantly. They are that good.

[@gigglybeast]

"7g of coffee for every 4oz of water" - This will cause European heads to explode.

[@josephbohme7917]

18-23 grams for 16 oz of water.. A person decides how strong, not a pretentious barista. Ever hear a chef ask rare or medium rare medium or.....eeeehhhh well done, They do not select, the customer does.

At least oz is easy to convert into metrics. I just multiply it with 30 to get milliliters.

[@beniaminlacatus3576]

World health organisation giving good advices? When was the last time that happened? Thank you for the video.

[@Wit]

Question - does it make much of a difference to use paper filters in a ceramic brewer or no paper filters at all in a metal mesh brewer? If not then that would eliminate one step by not having to wet the paper filter before brewing. Would either type of brewer be more significantly preferred?

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Paper vs Metal filter makes huge difference. With paper filter you'll have "cleaner" cup of coffee (less coffee oils and etc.,). Enjoy your coffee!

[@Wit]

But the oils from the coffee bean is what adds to the flavor so paper filters might give you a "cleaner" cup of coffee but not a better cup of coffee, right? Was that what you meant?

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

I don't think "better" is correct. It will be different. Some people like it some not. Enjoy your coffee!

[@susanchapinmusicant7048]

[@ericachacon8337]

I have that same "DRINK COFFEE" sign... it's hanging in my kitchen. Thanks for the tips- I usually have French Press but I've been thinking about trying pour-over, for the cafestol reduction (trying to lower my cholesterol).

[@connorl5868]

👍 Good Video

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Thanks 👍

[@galaxytraveler5779]

ive been doing this for years now and seldom does it yield good results. I don't know what the temperature of my water is, so I generally wait 1 minute after it reaches a boil before i begin pouring.

[@bobmoore727]

Coffee Dripper I have the stainless steel cone pour over coffee dripper (no filter) and I love it but after making my first of 3 - ½ - ¾ cups of coffee, the dripper starts dripping very slow, if at all. I have to push up the coffee grinds to get it to start dripping again. When I fill the dripper up with water it drips through but when it gets half way down, it slows down or stops. I use 3 tablespoons of coffee grinds. I clean both sides with hot water. Any ideas?

[@gigglybeast]

Bob Moore - Your coffee grounds might be too fine.

[@mariocean808]

Paper, metal, or cloth filters.....which is "better"?

[@davidfibarrav3630]

None is better just different, paper filter traps coffee oils that are more bitter while metal lets them through, paper filtered results in a very tasty accented coffee, metal filtered has more "body", clothe filtered coffee is in between both.

[@iwangmail]

@@davidfibarrav3630 agree

[@gingybun]

i ordered a dripper online and it's still on the way. but i couldnt wait so i wrapped the filter paper over a cup and made myself a coffee :3

[@KrishnenduKes]

Very well illustrated.

[@kartos.]

Infograph link is dead :(

[@alfonsodaleja3702]

any particular reason why you should aim for such a time? been using a v60 for awhile and ive been try to rationalize it. what if i want to make a larger cup? obviously it'll take more time so you have to adjust your variables such as grind size, pour speed etc. but why aim for such a time? thanks!

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

So you'll get perfect extraction (this method). But your results might vary. Enjoy your coffee!

[@ThomasFrank126]

[@rickd1412]

Can I just use instant ?

[@roxanne1951]

You can do whatever you want

[@mariomichel]

Of course, but you have to put a tablespoon of instant coffee in your mouth and then drink some boiling water. Much easier, no?

[@nicolasgrossen7848]

What setting do you guys use on the Hario Skerton for this setup? :) (I'm struggling to find the grind size that gives me the right extraction time). Also, does the dripper in the video have 1 or more holes? :) Would love an answer from you guys! Cheers

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Hello Nicolas. Please take a look this video Hario Ceramic Coffee Grinder Instructions - How to Use, Adjust the Grind Setting and Clean kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqmeZd9Z5p9fLc. Dripper we use have 3 holes.

[@nicolasgrossen7848]

Hey, I did watch the video already (and read the description), but it seems odd to me that you guys use the 3 setting for drip cones, as this gives me a way too long extraction time, granted I have only 1 hole in my dripper. I use a 5-6 setting depending on the beans and even that gives me an extraction time that is on the longer end... Thanks for the answer :)

chart says 1 - 1.5 tbs ground coffee. Is this measured beans or measured ground?

[@knownuser0815]

measured ground. I'd get a kitchen scale and measure weight, not volume :) I usually take 6 grams per 100ml, that's exactly one 'coffee measure spoon' of coffee beans. fellowproducts.com/the-golden-ratio-for-coffee-brewing/

[@shaloskyj6898]

What are you thoughts on Chemex pour over brewers? Is a goose neck kettle necessary or would a regular kettle or measuring cup suffice?

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

We love Chemex. And yes gooseneck kettle (www.frenchpresscoffee.com/collections/hot-water-kettles-for-coffee-and-tea) highly recommended to control the water flow accurately. Enjoy your coffee!

[@oskarthor5707]

what are the benefits of this over a pour over coffee machine, I grind my high quality beans just before I brew I feel like the coffee from my machine is good but I would like to give this a try also

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Main benefit is that you can fully control everything (water temp, brew time and etc.). Drip machines will not allow you to do that at all. Plus you really involve with coffee and as result you'll get the best cup of coffee. Enjoy!

[@oskarthor5707]

Ok I see, thanks for the quick reply, I am just starting my coffee drinking and I decided I wanted proper coffee from the get go rather than sipping on some cheap, and bitter coffee at work. this channel has been a great inspiration to try new methods and learning something new :D

[@Frenchpresscoffeelove]

Great to hear it. Thank you and enjoy your coffee!

[@BadfingerFan]

Pour over coffee is healthier because of glass and stainless materials vs. plastic that is used in electric pour overs. Also, the electric coffee makers are harder to clean and maintain and can develop scale, which of course can be removed with a de-scaler. It's better to filter your water before brewing. I use Brita. If I don't filter before boiling in a Hario kettle, the bottom of the pot will develop deposits. If I filter the water, the pot stays clean.

[@KrishnenduKes]

The notes that you would get, the flavours and with experimenting with the ratios, you can control how you want the notes to come out. It is a beautiful coffee world out there.
