Favourite Manual Brewing?
For me personally, I like the simplicity of doing Aeropress. The taste is less of a v60 pourover, but its faster.
You're viewing a single thread.
Aeropress was my first manual brewing method, and I loved the portability, especially when paired with a small grinder, like the hario mini - I could fit the grinder into the aeropress.
Got burnt by hot water a few times when using the inverted method though :(
Recently been using v60 a lot more, produces very clean results for me (less fines unlike the aeropress, especially if using a metal filter).
If it takes a more then 3 mins for your v60 pourover, can consider a coarse grind methinks.
I agree that v60 gives out more clean body. But it takes a greater skill. A skill I wish to have. Still learning though. Any tips for a fellow v60 beginner?
I’m mostly following the James Hoffman technique, but some stuff I felt made a difference for me are:
- rinsing the filter before use - somehow a wet filter finishes faster than an unwashed one
- pour around the edge of the cone, vs directly in the middle
- good grind consistency - I’m using a 1zpresso grinder, and the consistency I get now makes the extraction a lot faster.
In a pinch, if there extraction is too slow with your current set up, try going (a lot) coarser and see if the results taste better
