Liam Lam - Hong Kong | Home Coffee Brewing with April #49

This week, we’re bringing you the latest video from a series that we call Home Coffee Brewing with April. This week we are in Hong Kong, meeting with the winner of the April Brewers Cup Singapore Edition, Liam Lam.
We believe that innovation in coffee brewing starts at home, and that some of the most special and meaningful interactions with coffee can take place within your own kitchen.
As we are frequently travelling visiting our international partners, we decided to introduce this format as a way to interact with you on a different level whilst maintaining the frequency of our videos.
We have previously featured Liam on this channel before, in a video in which he shares his winning recipe from that competition and joined Patrik on a Zoom call to discuss his coffee philosophy.
In this video, Liam is brewing two different Ethiopian coffees from local roasters Oma, one Washed processed coffee and one Anaerobic Natural. He uses an April Plastic Dripper, paired with April Paper Filters. He grinds using a Comandate hand grinder, and weighs his dry dose and brew water weight with a scale from Acaia. He ties all of this together with a water blend from Aquacode, and serves each brew in porcelain cups from April.

Those are very good coffees produced by Elto and roasted by Oma 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mianchen7464]

Yes!!!!!! Oma’s Ethiopia beans never fail to impress. ❤

[@Maspas10019]

Very simple and straight forward answers to the questions from the home brewer , makes for and awesome listening and learning experience as a viewer 👍 Thanks for posting !

[@coffeewithapril]

Glad you enjoyed it. We will keep them coming.

[@Jtaann]

Oma roast of Elto is incredible 🔥 Best roaster in Asia 🔥

[@coffeewithapril]

It did taste really good. The peaberry was one of the better Ethiopian Coffee experiences we had in a while. Do you have any other recommendations for Asian roasters?

[@Jtaann]

@@coffeewithapril Would love to see my home country of Malaysia featured someday :One Half, the roast things JAPAN-Apollon Gold, Taiwan-19Coffee roasting lab and Oasis Korea - Ruber, Identity Out of Asia would love to see Picky Chemist(Belgium) Hydrangea or Prodigal in the US in channel some day

@@Jtaann We had done videos in KL.

[@NexusS4GIceJelly]

His home recipe I feel like it elevates more sweetness when you wait longer between pours

[@coffeewithapril]

Thank you for watching as always. It does seem to create a cup with more "structure" and that can be useful sometimes.

[@mianchen7464]

Oh! He brewed for me the Les Cenizos Geisha Natural:) I almost recognised him the April Champion SG! #he looks so different compared with his long hair 😂

[@coffeewithapril]

You both competed in the same competition!

[@BuyTheDrip.Coffee]

[@coffeewithapril]

Glad to hear. Thank you for watching and sharing. Is there anything specific you would like to see in future videos?

[@benesanchez3708]

So good 🙌

[@coffeewithapril]

Glad you like it. What's new in the coffee brewing world for you champ?

[@benesanchez3708]

@@coffeewithapril have you seen the portal by belka? No idea what it really does but I just saw it on an ig reel and thought it was interesting

[@coffeewithapril]

@@benesanchez3708 Don't believe we have. But we will keep an eye on it.

37:30 These long form videos are more difficult to follow especially with poor audio. I wish you'd post the recipes and summaries for each video. Get that book completed please!

[@coffeewithapril]

Thank you for sharing. We had some audio difficulties lately, and we are looking over our equipment in order to try to figure out where it comes from. Summaries are coming up for future videos.

[@dusanmozola1627]

During grinding is better not explain anything,...

[@coffeewithapril]

Thank you for watching and the input. We will take that into consideration for future videos. Did you feel you learned anything new from the video?

[@dusanmozola1627]

an external microphone would definitely help, even the sound is not quite clear... I got some information, the difference between washed and natural extractions regarding the temperature and grinding thickness... there are many videos on the Internet, but a summary of the techniques regarding the different coffees you have to put yourself together... otherwise I liked the video...
