Might be good to provide a small correction at 6:27 ;)

Are you sure that using more coffee for same amount of water leads to better extraction? More water = more extraction. You need tighter ratios for darker roasts.

[abraxas]

Lovely video with great info about ratios, would add : using higher temperature for light roast (97 degree and lower for dark around 91 degree.
I like how your hands talking :)

I would love to see you guys do a video recipe on best practice for the Hario V60 Switch. I bought the newer 03 version recently which holds up to 500g of water.

[allenjeng]

OMG ❤ This is the best pour-over how-to instructional video! Thank you 🙏

[franceskaneeve]

How long do you usually bloom your coffee? Always curious about different methods.

Excuse me but you tell that lighter roasts needs to reduce the coffee water ratio which is not right and vice versa for darker ones..
You need to increase your ratio in lighter roasrs (1:17 for example) to increase the capability of extraction as more water means more extraction, while in darker roasts you have to reduce the ratio (1:14 for example)to decrease extraction otherwise you will extract more bitterness in your cup from the darker beans

Good video ! I have a coffee for you guys. Greetings from the Peruvian highlands !

[devilmc]

Great informative video. And please do not lose that accent!

"If the water drains too quickly, try a finer grind." Yep sounds right. "If it draws too fast, try a coarser grind." What?

[hobyycafes]

For Brazilian coffees, If i pour the water only three times as she did, the Coffee gets sour... i usually pour 5 times..

[matttrach]

I have not seen any pour over tutorials with a larger amount of coffee in mind, try a 1ltr pour over. Interestingly, the exposure time seems to be the same (3min), but with the higher volume you have to pour faster. How do you make a 1ltr pour over with commodity coffee taste... acceptable?

[DiggingRob]

I learned more from this video, than the 5000 past YouTube videos all put together. Thanks for sharing

[Zbear]

Water ratio for light roast should more water than dark roast, keep simple because light roast need more time or more more water extraction than dark roast . It avoids over or under extraction!

[vaibhavsabharwal]

You said - If the water drains, too quickly, try a finer grind. If it drains too "fast" try a coarser grind. I think you meant to say "slow" instead of "fast" for a coarser grind.

[joepal]

Is V60 better than a stovetop Bialetti?

[mmsdmmsd]

Is this an ad? You dont need expensive equipment for a great pour over. I use a plastic dripper and supermarket filters. I use a cheap grinder and get a perfect course grind. I make a much bigger cup of coffee. 30gm for 500 ml. 2 minute bloom. And swirl the dripper while the water is extracting. Perfect every time, even with cheaper beans like Trader Joes or Chock Full of Nuts, both medium roasts. The key is just pouring slowly and being consistent.
