Day 21 Zambian Coffee with Orea V4 Wide | Flat Bottom Goes Conical

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Note: During editing I noticed that the first brew came out faster than the second one. It should have been the opposite actually. So I think that the dryness in the first brew comes also from a bit of channelling. Probably that was cause from the finer grind size.

This series is a masterclass in pour over brewing at home. So helpful in thinking about variables to get a great cup. Thanks for doing this!

Yeah, I'm actually pulling almost all my cards out of my sleeves 😂 I'm very glad you enjoying it. Thanks for the feedback and the comment :)

Hi again great video! I tested this method as my 2nd try with this beans , my first v60 was horribly over ectractes, your recommendation was nice witha slight citrus note and spices. :)

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad to hear that. It makes me very happy :)

[@henrimartin1492]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I would appreciate some drawings on paper of the structure of the recipes as you explain them. Do you think that would be a good idea?

Yay! Finally my favorite dripper: Orea V4 w/Apex base. Grindsize could be much finer with Apex since it lets you brew much faster (if you use Hario VCF-01-100MK & it doesn´t clogg). Imho 26 clicks on standard axle result in an insanely coarse grindsize for V4 with Apex. That´s 780 Micron particle size (excluding fines). I personally never go coarser than 450 Micron Ok, it´s a washed & I do not brew washed coffee with Orea.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

I agree with you. Well yeah, I could have gone definitely finer but every time with a washed I start with coarser and then go finer. This is combination is also one of my favourite. So underrated !

Another great video! Since the Oreas - narrow and wide - both come with all 4 bases, would you consider doing this with the narrow? I have a V4 narrow, and while I’ve tried to adapt the V60 filters for the Apex base, the “narrowness” of the dripper makes creating folded V60 filters that fit tricky, and hasn’t led to very satisfying results.

[@matteofromtheswamps]

Thanks for the comment. I tasted many times conical with narrow, but it doesn't work very well. there is so much free paper at the end and a lot of bypassing. I explain this in the comparison in between V4 narrow vs wide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ25qnmrrsaKd8ksi=tmPu9hJBBB8usecn

@ That’s what I thought! Thanks!
