I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!
There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What’s your brew method of the day/week?
I would highly recommend taking a peak at James Hoffmann’s method. I feel it has been the most efficient method in removing that sludge at the bottom of the cup.
So I gave James Hoffmann’s method a shot this morning. I think I prefer the his method (and recipe) from a flavor perspective independent of any silt reduction. From the reduction of silt perspective it was a significant improvement but not silt free. I think I need a larger press since my tiny press makes getting in there with a spoon a bit awkward and I’m probably disturbing the silt in my efforts to get a full mug’s worth. I suspect using a larger press at half capacity would help with both issues.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! If you are looking for a suggestion, I have the Fellow Clara. It’s a bit pricey, but it has been absolutely awesome.
I honestly just love Fellow products, I have yet to be disappointed by anything they’ve made. To be fair though, I know many have been dissatisfied with their Carter line of travel mugs, as many have gotten a roasted garlic smell in the mug that they can’t get rid of. But I’ve currently got 4 of them, and haven’t experienced it once.
That’s a nice looking press. Yet another thing to add to the backlog of coffee toys to potentially buy. :)
