From multiple online sources and Chinese enthusiast groups I'm in, apparently Cafec's light roast filter changed after being rebranded as T-92 (unlike in this video). It is SLOW. My drawdowns take at least 4 minutes with Hoffmann method and 15-250 ratio; sometimes I get 10 minute brews if I grind just slightly finer. However, I separated the brew at 3 min and tasted the latter part of stalled drawdown, surprised to find it quite sweet and not over-extracted at all. It does produce heavy body and sweetness if you are using VERY high quality, (VERY) light roasted beans. It almost acts like an immersion brew but with slightly more punchy flavor from faster percolation at the beginning.

THANK YOU! I've been saying different paper filters provide different results and people don't really grab onto that concept for some reason. I've done testing with cloth filters between different shaped pour overs (Wave 155, V60-01, Chemex 3-cup) and ended up using the same exact grind size and other settings/recipe for each brew device, which showed me it's not the filter *shape*, it's the filter *material* that matters and affects flavor. Using the paper filters for each of these brewers requires different recipes and grind sizes. While your test wasn't specifically about filter shape, it shows that all paper is not created equal.
@Sprometheus4 жыл бұрын
You’re welcome and thanks for the response. I do agree with you the filter material definitely matters, and in this video I think that’s clear. But I do think filter shape can definitely have an effect on extraction and taste. For example I find the Kalita 185 to have more body and texture than most V60’s as well as an easier time getting over 20% extractions. I thinks a lot of people look at filters as a one size fits all program, and don’t often question its effects on the cup. But I hope that this video, even though not hugely popular, will maybe help people consider filters as a variable just as important as grind, water temp, etc.

I was amazed at the difference it made. The Third Wave water extracts coffee much more effectively and the coffee it produces tastes much better than using the tap water I have available. Even the extraction times were very noticeably different. About 30-45 seconds faster for about 320 g water to draw down in the V60 with the Third Wave water vs. tap.

Ah, I realized when you said "Standard" paper filter it was also made by Cafec and not Hario etc. Any chance they intentionally make them considerably inferior to show a more stark difference? Also, I'm disappointed you didn't go the Hoffman route and taste some paper water! :p

I doubt they made their standard filters worse on purpose. I ditched the standard Hario for the CAFEC standards about a year ago as I preferred them. I considered adding in tasting the filter water, but considering it was a long video already I opted to skip it.

@@Sprometheus Maybe I'll give them a try. I tend to rotate between light and medium roasts and will likely just get one paper. Would you recommend one over the other as a good option for both?

Daniel Fogg if you like cleaner and brighter cups go for light. If you want more balance and heavier flavor go with the medium.
