HOW TO POUROVER: Understanding Pourover Coffee / Percolation

[@TheGroundedCoffee]

The level bed and even bed illustration was an eye opener for me. I watched a lot of pour-over videos on HOW to do a pour-over, but this is the first video that thoroughly taught me WHY pour-overs are done in a certain way. The part about the bloom fase was particularly eye-opening. Subbed.

[@jeffthomas912]

Awesome! I'm fixing to add manual pourovers into my coffee brewing rotation. I started out with and still use a drip coffee maker but got really into espresso last year. I've watched a lot of great videos on brew recipes and the approximately 1,000 different options for various pourover methods and their accessories (and of course I love it), but this is such a great dive into the how/why. Another winner, Lance.

[@LanceHedrick]

Thanks, Jeff! Yes. I definitely like to nerd out. Would love to do a 2 hour video, but people struggle even with 30 min 🤣🤣🤣 Average watch for this so far is only 8min lol

[@jeffthomas912]

@@LanceHedrick Only 8 minutes? Man, there’s some great stuff throughout the video. My favorite is for sure the last 4-5 minutes on TDS. I can absolutely see myself getting a refractometer later on in my coffee journey and turning this into more of a science experiment haha. I think what has surprised me the most when learning about manual pourover options is the popularity of cone shaped drippers like the V60, Chemex, etc. I would have thought that a flat bottom to allow for an even bed would objectively be better (that’s what we aim for with puck preparation in brewing espresso, right?) But it seems like the V60 is a really popular and economical option for getting started with pourovers so super excited to dive in there and see what the conical drippers are all about.

[@LanceHedrick]

For sure. There are benefits to both, absolutely. I'll be sure to make a video dedicated to the benefits and downsides to both!

[@sammyb304]

Absolutely outstanding Lance. As I brew mainly with Chemex, I am looking forward to learning some new things in your upcoming Chemex video. A couple of challenges I have encountered with Chemex are: 1) stalling, 2) filter paper blocking spout, 3) total time not being affected by grind (I.e. grinder coarser does not necessarily result in shorter brew time), 4) large batches (72-75g coffee to 1200g water) are difficult. I recently changed my grinder from Lido 3 to Lagom P64 with high uniformity burrs and have noticed a decent uptick in taste, I hope to experiment with Unimodal burrs soon. I think many of the challenges with pour over relate to grind quality.

[@baconman9418]

I know it's been a year, but I'm curious why you use a chemex when you've noted so many issues? It seems odd to have such a nice grinder and even upgraded burrs and then assume the issue is the grind quality despite knowing the chemex is a challenging brewer.

[@sebas9504]

Phew. Siphon. Perhaps one of the three I despise the most 🤣🤣🤣 I'll see about doing one, but may be...a while to warm up to it 🤣🤣🤣

@@LanceHedrick I can see why. It's a little fickle but seeing physics doing its job is a marvel. Also I have a glass filter (a cona one), it's hard to avoid clogging but it's a breeze to clean compared to a cloth one.

Glass filter, huh? Nice! I didn't even think to include it. I have a Pureover which has zero filters, so I failed. Lol

Hahaha! I'm trying to get it out there.

[@QuinCarter]

@@LanceHedrick I'm personally more into espresso right now. But when I do brew with my pour over, I reach for my Chemex pretty much exclusively. I like the ultra bonded filters that they use and the cup I get. I can get a pretty similar cup on my v60 but in a side by side tasting, I almost always like the Chemex flavors more, especially with a fruity ethiopian or a peaberry. My favorite Chemex brew I've done was with an ethiopian from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters in DFW and it literally tasted like a blueberry pie a la mode. Very rich and probably one of my favorite beans.

Would love to learn how to get better coffee out of my Aero Press. My experience is that it has been overhyped…doesn’t make enough coffee and the coffee it does make, regardless of how much I mess with variables, tends to be weak/bitter (you can only dose so much and fill so much and it’s fidgety). I travel with a hand grinder, scale, a collapsible electric kettle and an Aero Press, so this would be most helpful. On a recent trip to Panama, after buying some very expensive Geisha, I bagged the Aero Press and bought a pour over setup at a local coffee shop in Panama City…lol.

[@vvalekk]

Nice! I would love to see a guide on the Hario woodneck with the cloth filter, because i haven't been able to brew a consistently good cup with that. It seems to drain really fast compared to other brewers

[@LanceHedrick]

Yeah. The cloth is going to make a fast drain because it is more porous. But I will do some stuff with cloth filters in the future!

[@ronaldsantosjapan]

My parents are from Puerto Rico. 30 years ago or so my mom started doing a pourover using a cloth filter due to the fact that her coffee machine had failed and she wanted to have coffee that very day. That coffee, mere Folgers from a can, was spectacular! (Especially after the cloth filter had been seasoned with a couple of brews.) It was a lot of work though, and the cloth filter was retired after a new coffee maker was obtained.

The more I watch these videos, the more I think I just need to do immersion brewing. There's so many variables to deal with when doing percolation.

[@LanceHedrick]

You're not wrong, but the cups are incomparably cleaner and more nuanced for the most part

[@6minus3minus2]

@@LanceHedrick Does percolation just pull out more nice flavors or is it the paper filter adding clarity and nuance? Cause I'm fine with pouring an immersion brew through a filter to clean it up. I just want to do each coffee justice and sometimes it's frustrating hunting for that ideal recipe, because of all the variables.

[@LanceHedrick]

So, think if it this way. When you percolate, you are pouring hot water over the bed, and it leaves. Then you pour more clean water into a partially spent bed and can extract more. Then it drains, and you replenish with clean water again. With immersion, you extract with coffee essentially.

[@paulj.2273]

I'd love to get your insights on brewing with the *ceramic* version of the Kalita wave 185. I've seen elsewhere critiques of the metal version pointing out exactly what you highlighted with the filter paper being more prone to clogging the holes due to the raised metal feature on the bottom being too low. The ceramic version doesn't have that problem, and also has larger drain holes than the metal one resulting in faster flow rate. So a generic "Kalita wave" recipe is useless without knowing if it's for the metal or ceramic version, and I own the ceramic one.

[@LanceHedrick]

This is somewhat true. I still have clogged ceramic kalitas, though not as often, certainly. Our cafes use ceramic. Issue with both ceramic and metal is they're so temperamental regarding temperature. But yes, you are correct in that there will be difference between the two, but to be honest, I can't imagine the difference being huge if neither clogs. The biggest difference in my estimation would be which was more efficient at holding temp

[@paulj.2273]

@@LanceHedrick Interesting point about the temperature. I would still expect the difference in flow rates to make a big difference if they are as significant as reported here: coffeechronicler.com/how-to-fix-the-stainless-steel-kalita-wave/ As I understand it, to get to the same brew time between the two would require very different grind sizes, which again makes one recipe invalid for the other.

[@LanceHedrick]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!

[@ttgsct]

Great content. Really appreciate all the details in plain English.

[@LanceHedrick]

No doubt! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Lance, I was just thinking about picking up a v60. Do you need a specific type of coffee for this brew method, or will my espresso blends work?

[@LanceHedrick]

Any coffee can be brewed on any device. "Espresso blends" can be on drip, french press, etc. And "filter blends" can be made on espresso. So, in short, nothing specific needed!

[@CNich90]

Do you have a video on French press? If not do you intend to ever make one? Curious to your thoughts on the fellow Clara. Also, based off the information presented in this video it seems like French press would be a superior method because there is no worry about flow rate or portion of grounds not in contact with water.

Awesome! I'm getting good info indeed! For future videos I'd love to know more about April's Pour Over and what are your thoughts.

[@LanceHedrick]

For sure. I love what patrik and the team do and definitely have some thoughts

[@devlevy]

ok so I have the Stanley "classic perfect-brew pour over" system that I got for camping and I am temporarily using it at home while waiting for my moka pot to arrive. I have no idea how to brew a good cup using that thing even though it is supposed to be effortless/versatile . I specifically want to eliminate the excess fine sediment that tends to go through the filter and sit at the bottom of the cup. Would love your input on how to brew a consistent cup. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video!

[@LanceHedrick]

Thank you for the love! This has been, sadly, my worst performing video even though I love it. So thanks for the kind words!

Great video mate, loved the content! Curious to see your thoughts on the Tricolate and Stagg X if you get a chance to review them.

[@LanceHedrick]

Absolutely will. I have a few videos on the tricolate on my IG TV you can check out, as well as the Stagg x (my favorite brewer)

[@krus54]

Lance Very interesting! Not sure if you're you're still reading comments from these old videos. My gf and I are looking for the perfect method for pour over coffee and have been watching a ton of videos from different people. It seems that each *expert*, including one who has won coffee championships, has different methods of doing their pour overs. Some say to agitate the grounds regularly during pour over, some say only once or twice. One says that we need to time the pouring and not go over a certain amount of time. Some say to bloom the grounds for 30 seconds and others say to let the grounds sit at least a minute to two minutes. Is this just a matter of trying everyone's methods and seeing which works best for us? Also, I found the more technical some people get in their videos about the science of brewing, the more I zone out. It also always helps to slow down in talking as it sometimes gets difficult to follow. Some talk fast so it seems they're teachers trying to fit an hour's worth of information into 45 minutes.

I’m a Third Wave user… Both the espresso formula and pour over/drip. formula. I noticed an big improvement in taste from the get go. I’m sure your other 2 products also work well. Totally worth it, and not really expensive at all.

[@JS2000mega]

Any thoughts on that Timemore Youth gooseneck kettle? Was thinking of getting one for myself

[@LanceHedrick]

Listen. Wait until the electric is available. That kettle is so good.

[@kaheldan]

What are the usual EYs and TDS do you see as a trend on Brewers Cup this past year?

[@LanceHedrick]

So, it varies greatly. Mine when I got second was around a 23%. I see 20-23% as the usual.

[@saltrocklamp199]

Is it possible that some amount of bypass is good? Seems like if it were universally bad, brewers like the V60 wouldn't have the ridges. Or is the implication that the ridges are there for cosmetic reasons in spite of their reduction in functionality?
