After 60+ years on this earth I have just taken coffee drinking seriously. It will soon replace my pipe smoking. There is something about doing a process and expecting certain results that I need in my life. Finding good coffee and processing it correctly really interests me. Thanks for your videos. They will help me in this journey.

Forget about the jumper. I want a t-shirt that says "immersion percolation combination" - Sounds like a prog rock band...

I love how James takes out the refractometer right from his back pocket like he always has it right there all the time.

Everyone: sees James in a Xmas jumper "Oh, he's just a normal guy with things like the rest of us"
James: "This measures the speed of light through coffee"

It is so satisfying that the shot is perfectly squared. Look at the lower left corner. The shadow of the picture frame is perfectly aligned with the edge of the video!

Never thought a near impulse purchase of a Mokka pot at TJMaxx would lead to me THIS channel! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Even though I’m not a heavy coffee drinker I still appreciate ur content and the things it’s taught me about the nuances behind coffee. Keep doing what ur doing 👏 and on a different note: please do a review of all ur knitwear😍 🙏😍

I've been loving my Switch, thank you for the brew guide James. I'd encourage you to try and flip the tabbed Hario filters inside out. I did find that those filters clogged a lot, and flipping them has been a miracle solution. The outside of the filters has larger pores than the outside, which must accomplish a similar effect to the sibarist papers.

Oh James, you know us so well!

A tip for 4:25 Try placing a spoon handle or other long object on the edge of your glass or brewer when you pour. It lets the coffee glide along the spoon instead of pouring all over the surface you are working on.

For a faster draw down with the switch or the clever, I would suggest removing step 5 of waiting 15 seconds after the final stir before filtering the coffee. This allows the finer particles, which would typically clog the paper, to be suspended in the liquid and get caught on the upper portion of the filter while the larger particles of coffee would remain in the bed and allow for even flow.

I'll keep using my Clever Skipper. I've had one for a number of years now. And after all the different machines and gadgets, it's the one I go back to the most often for a good cup of coffee. 23g medium ground coffee+350g 200° H2O+bamboo filter+2:30 minutes(before drawdown)= AMAZING!

If you wanted the brew to happen faster you could push the water with a plunger, like in the aeropress. We're still waiting for that aeropress video 😉

I think the thing about fast draining paper filters is that you can brew shorter times and grind finer without sacrificing flavour. Because the previous theory of paper filters for pourovers or for immersion cones like the clever dripper run the risk of a clogging and delaying drain time if grounds are too fine. But with the variable of a fast-draining paper filter you can get faster brews, better brews with finer grinds and better body, flavour, and extraction (because of shorter paper-filter contact time) and also hotter coffee too! So many things lit up for me in this video as an avid coffee brewer and former barista and aeropress champion competitor! Thanks for this experimental video!
