Obviously coffee has a SOUL to it. So brewing coffee with just calculations isn't what I do. I just think about these different things and how it affects each other as I brew. Sometimes I wake up more tired then other days and my initial pour is a little more heavy handed. It's about understanding how much agitation you need and which options you have to work with AS you are brewing.

The brewing process is a LIVING PROCESS, as it is being brewed the different signs tell you what it wants and in that moment you can use different things to adjust how much agitation you need to finish the brew :3

This was, by far, one of the most helpful videos you’ve put out. Thank you for talking through this, without the “distraction” of having you talk while you brew! I understand the process so much better.

Hi Vincent! When I looking your last videos I feel a kind of tension from yourself. Dude, relax. Everything fine in life. Do all what you want and get some kind of vibe. Just brewing. A little bit less to thinking about amazing actions around beans. Breath in and breath out. Good luck. Life is wonderful!

Every time I’ve tried to bloom within 50g, it’s a struggle. I like the single pour, starting in the middle, watching the darker grinds come up, working to the edge, back in and swirling. Seems easy, but takes repetition to get it down. Because of your videos, I’m more conscious of the roast levels, water temp, bed setting and reacting to what the coffee is telling me. Thanks a mil!

This channel has completely transformed the way I think about brewing coffee! Thanks Vince :) Would love to see a video showing how to spot errors in your brew based on how the post-brew dome looks.

For example, if the sides are left with too many grounds on them post-brew, what does that mean and how do I fix it?

How about if after stirring, there's still no dome and the dome is flat? What does that mean and how do I fix it?

If the dome is too pasty, what does that mean and how do I fix it?

Same question for unusually long and unusually short brew times :)

Just an idea. These are all still burning questions in my mind. Or maybe you already have a video on it? In any case, thanks so much Vince! Love your channel

Great discussion! It is good to talk about the fundamentals and a little bit of science behind brewing coffee. I find most coffee brewing videos are only presenting recipes and that causes people just going around chasing recipes after recipes like they are looking for the holy grail. There are so many variables in coffee brewing. I think it is best if we stick to the fundamentals first and find or even come up with a recipe that makes sense to you based on your understanding of the fundamentals and stick to it. Then you can make adjustments based on the variables when brewing different coffees.

Looking forward to the rest of the series. Things like "flush", etc., don't make immediate sense to me, but I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I'm learning so much from this channel... Thank you so much!

[wolfsburg]

I like your content and thought process. Im excited to see how the channel grows.
One note, It looks like you're wearing a Lav mic, try to only use that one in your videos and not camera audio or room mic. Your room sound (echo) is quite loud and a bit distracting.

Good luck with your channel! Look forward to more good coffee content.

Hi Vincent!

Juz here, been very interested in this method so far. I do want to raise some concerns I had with the drawdown phase. Noticed mine is faster compared to the brews in your vids. Bed ends up flat with all the gasses in the middle with pasty sides. I've been more mindful of my pours but I just cant seem to nail the drawdown + stir.

I use the ff:
V60 02
water around 95C
light roast coffee
1:15 ratio for 20g coffee

Looking forward to the next videos!

Hey, grate topic!
Today I straggled to make bigger butch with your grate switch metod.

Usually if I need more coffee I do 250ml for 40 seconds, and after opening switch I continue to pure rest of the water.
Once I tried to make more concentrated coffee (like 1:12) and passthrough then, but it's turns out disgusting)))
Interested in your ideas!

[Tiera-kvlq]

Thank you for sharing all the info! Can't wait to try ur coffee

[Jahloveipraise]

I know you said you’re going to tackle a constant grind size but I’m curious. Do you leave your grinder at the same setting? I feel like you’d still end up with a different grind each time you use it tho whether that’s from coffee losing co2 as it ages or a new variety, roast, process etc. I’m assuming you have an “acceptable” range that you can still control the variables you’re talking about tho so as long as you’re in the ballpark you’re all good

Have you read “The Science of Filter Coffee” by Jonathan Gagne?
Fascinating stuff in there!
I’ve found good success with a bloom + 1 pour.

[Andrew-wpbz]

Hey Vincent, have you tried the Orea v3? I recently got my hands on it and it’s a very fun brewer to play around with!

[taylorwhite]

"wet wdt" can help get the "pasty" fines to the edge of the filter like you show. That's what I have found
