Recently become a rather big fan of this channel after years of being preoccupied with strong coffee rather than good. 30 or so videos binged later, I recall I have a neat looking book about coffee, half forgotten on a shelf that a sibling-of-an-ex once gave me for Christmas (all she knew about me was that I liked coffee). So I grab it out while watching yet another of James's videos. "This book looks nicer than I remember" I thought, looking at the Hessian style cover. One double-take later; it's The World Atlas of Coffee by the good sir here and my mind is slightly blown.

Just a small note regarding your conclusion about the Origami: it comes with a choice of base! The wooden one is definitely more beautiful, but because it’s a completely round opening it definitely makes it harder to be level and stable. The plastic one doesn’t always look quite as nice, but it does have little ridges in it that fit to the dripper, keeping it much more level and upright. It’s also a lot easier to clean, compared to wood!
@fistsofpanda3 жыл бұрын
You can also find a no brand wooden one with notches which does a perfect job of keeping the dripper level. I use an origami often but the original wooden base is kind of a joke.

Something that I've learned about coffee is that once you get into grinding your own coffee and experimenting with brew methods, you're just getting slight variations of really good coffee. It's easy to start obsessing over minor details and telling yourself that it's a huge difference, when it's really not. All of these brewers are just slight variations that have very little impact on the coffee you're brewing. Good beans and good grinders are by far the biggest factors in the end result.

With the Origami brewer: the wood base is very pretty, but they also offer a plastic resin base that is more practical. The hole in the plastic base is serrated, so the brewer effectively self-levels when you insert it, and the serrations sort of lock it in place and prevent it from sliding askew.

My favorite thing with James' videos is that for as knowledgeable as he is and just his sheer level of expertise surrounding all things coffee, he isn't jaded or snobbish about any of this stuff. He still understands that no matter what at the end of the day, if it's something you're drinking and making for yourself just do what makes you happy and you enjoy the most.

You know, there's a really interesting brewer out there wich aparrently you forgot to include. It's called the aeropress, you should look into it :)
@Palshoej3 жыл бұрын
I think one of the great thing with the Origami dripper, you can use V60 style filter, and Kalita wave filters, and it altering the taste. It is my favorite to use. The ability to shift between flatbed and cone shape in one brewer is a nice touch.

Not too surprised the Fellow product was a favorite. They have such amazing products. A little surprised about the origami as there have been quite a few positive reviews Would have been interesting to have the Chemex's Funnex reviewed as well as it seems to fit well into these line of brewers. Great content as always James, very interesting

The espro looks like the December , but it's brewing technique is a world different . It can brew super fine and get the highest extraction over any other . On another note .. I can't wait to see you review the tricolate

Awesome to see this video today. I have been following the Coffee with April channel for a while and it is nice to see them having a shout out from you James! Patrik and his team do really make great videos with tons of interesting and useful information. The reasons behind Patrik’s brewing technique can be heard in many of their videos. I have been interested in the April brewing kit for a while and I can now be even more confident in spending my money on it after this video. Another note on the April brewer: they have just released their custom paper filter (which is a little bit difficult to get a hold of as of the time of this comment), but it will be interesting to see you revisit this brewer in the future with more in-depth review of their technique and paper filters. Love your videos as always, James!

Hey James, I've been trying to experiment and understand the effect grind size has on the dosage. I was wondering if you would be interested in putting up a video explaining the science and logic behind the same and how one should adjust their grind size to suit the amount they want to brew (say ranging from 150ml-500ml). Would really be very helpful!
@missknight9 Жыл бұрын
Amazing video!! I love how thorough you were with the 2 rounds of testing using consistent vs customized technique. Thank you! As for the thought experiment channel ged, I think you can hack most brewers to tweak the extraction closer to your preference. For me the winner is the brewer that can do that most efficiently (both ease of use & accessory cost wise)

James, you mentioned that you swapped the burrs on the Ode for SSP burrs. Have you noticed an improvement with the new burrs? At that point it's nearly a $500 grinder, so how well would you say it stacks up against other grinders in the price range?
@craigpaterson74453 жыл бұрын
James, I have the Stagg XL, which allows one to make coffee for two or three people. The container for the paper filter is taller. The metal ring is to sit on top of the paper to guide the water around into the coffee rather than going down between the filter and metal wall. The glass carafe also has a lid to have the coffee sitting in the breakfast table. I like that about it.

I just found this channel and can't stop watching. I didn't realize that filters and brewing cones made such a big difference. I've got some exp coffee gear but have been using bamboo paper filters with a cheap Bed Bath and Beyond cone. I thought it was just the coffee I was using that im not satisfied with. Now I have to rethink the whole thing all over again
