Why Japanese Brewing Methods Dominate - Why is Hario V60 so popular?

[@NiclasFagerholm]

Good start! I have lived in Japan for 5 years, and i do appreciate the recent coffee boom. But I think your view of European coffee culture is very focused on the idea of Italian coffee. In the nordic countries, we have the highest consumption per capita in the world. I like both pour-over, but i really like a good "coffee machine" coffee also.

Thanks for filling in that gap! I definitely can't speak for European coffee cultures/history as a real authority, So I'm sorry that I didn't do it justice. Thank you for watching!

Brilliant my friend. You just summed up and justified my hobby, and why it's my passion, to me! Very underrated video for the effort and on point explanation. Definitely sharing it out to the world. Good luck bro

[@TokyoCoffee]

Thanks for that! So kind!

So next interesting question would be, Why do the Japanese pour coffee the way they do? What some people would call an "uneven" extraction, small circles, never pouring close to the filter. I'm a true beginner to v60, live in Taiwan, and try to follow my barista's instructions, although there's a language barrier there. His hand drip is the best I've tasted.

I can't speak for everyone in Japan, but I think you'll find a variety of techniques depending on the person and the shop. Some are more traditional while others are keeping with the current trends.

@@TokyoCoffee that's exactly what I've found looking into it. Thanks for confirming.

Maybe Britain doesn't really count as Europe, but in my family, it was very much French press or nothing. I had actually never heard of a moka pot until I started getting into coffee

[@TokyoCoffee]

Fair enough! I am definitely not an expert so I appreciate the feedback :)

It's a really good program to give otherwise hopeless cases a creative outlet!
