Day 18: Rwandan Coffee with Kalita 155 Sagan | High Strength, Low Dryness

[@maratmarat9496]

Good afternoon I have one question. How does the shape of an espresso filter affect the taste of coffee? Is it better for it to be low and wide or narrow and high? P/S I apologize for the automatic translation.

[@mcignatz]

For a similarly fast alternate brewer, would an Orea V4 work? I don't know which base would be most comparable to the Kalita's...

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Maybe the narrow V4 with fast base can match this kalita

[@TheMcMagnus]

When using a flat bottom dripper and flat bottom filter, why aren't there filters that only allow the coffee to drip through the bottom? Now, you risk water escaping through the sides.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

You need to grind coarser to avoid that

[@TheMcMagnus]

@matteofromtheswamps Yes, since there obviously are no such filters available. I'm a bit surprised nobody thought of it. You could try it by putting a plastic cylinder into a flat bottom filter and the coffee in the cylinder.
