Can you please do a review of Tales coffee no bloom single pour recipe? It's very interesting and one I've been using lately with the Hario switch, "stalling the fall" at to 30 seconds then stirring with a chop stick. Delicious!
Very well done! I love your calm style and brevity.
Edit: I wanted to add that your summaries and links in the description are also top notch!
I love you for writing out the times and information for each segment. You are GREAT! Thank you.
Great video! I like much more when the coffee techniques are explained right to the point, without long explanations. Thanks!
Awesome material, thank you for including us.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Carl, for introducing me to April.
Great video Carl! But judging from the t-shirt you were already on team April to begin with 😉
😅😉
I came here to write the same; he beat me to it 😄
Pour so aggressive that I called the cops on it.
Thanks for compiling! Looking forward with dabbling with each of these methods :)
Great video! This is the first comparison I've came across. Very helpful!
This is a great video! Super helpful with a thorough break down. Great job! Thanks for the video.
Great video. Short and precise, no wasting of the viewer's time. Thanks
You're the MVP for recipes in the description, definitely bookmarking this video. Also really liked the calm vibe while explaining each of the methods. Overall great stuff, thanks for sharing!
Great video Carl! I have all my favorite recipes in one spot now!
Thanks for watching!
This video is amazing! April technique resulted in the best v60 brew I've made so far
Very good video Carl! Also the description below is very convenient!
Damn, this video was such a nice change of pace for me, I have been using the James Hoffmann method but will try the other ones for sure. Keep up the great content!
Thanks a lot!
Ohhhh Lovely comparison of the styles! I especially love how precise your descriptions are of the resulting brew. Awesome! Also, I enjoy your super chill video style. Subscribed and followed on IG!
Okay, now that is amazing :D
I loved that comparison! Subscribed!
Thank You!
Great stuff. I'm also a big fan of the April brewer. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Carl! This was wonderful. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching!
LEGEND, well done lad, love the vids.
Thank you for sharing your video. The April coffee pour over method looks interesting. I shall give that a try!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Good walk-through, nice tempo, simple setup and a nice look and feel of your video. Well done. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Great video 👏🏼👏🏼
Always testing/dialing in different recipes is definitely one of the funniest part of making coffee imho
Keep up the good work ✌🏼
Very nice video! I look forward to trying the recipes. Thank you 😀
A very professional and informative video. Great camera work showing the methods; very clear, concise and helpful information presented very well. Great job! :)
I'm a big fan of Hoffman's method but you've convinced me to try April's. Thanks for the home brewing inspiration!
Great video, thanks. I'm going to make all variations starting tomorrow morning.
Great video! I really think your channel has huge potential, keep it up!
I was just having my afternoon coffee with James Hoffman brew method. I'll try other methods tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Insanely good very informative vid, thanks a lot 👍🏼
I like this format, to the point right away.
Thank you!
Wow this is very well done. I'll have to try them all. Love the tasting notes.
Thanks! good luck :)
thank you so much for sharing your video. it's simple with clear instructions. perfect for newbies like me :)
Carl i sincerely want to thank you. I have been using the Hoffman recipe for like a year, and had such a hard time finding the balance. Your video made me realise i did it wrong in one stage. After 1:15 i have been waiting for 1:45 and continued to pour at that time point. Instead of keep pouring but slower and more gentle. I really looking forward to brew a cup of coffee now knowing what i did wrong. 🙏
Any updates on how the adjustment to technique worked out for you? I'm more or less just getting into making my own filter coffee properly so am still rather amazed at how small nuances can influence the resulting cup
@@Lyander25 I have actually changed method :-). But it worked wonders to follow Carls instructions. One important insight i have learned is that when it tastes sour you might have gone to course on the grind, and if its bitter it might be to fine grind. At least its a good starting point. For me the balance is all about grind size and pour effectiveness (rotation speed, flow speed). Either changing the pour or the grind (when using Hario V60 because Kalita evens the pour out a bit). Brewing methods affects sour/bitter results a lot. When you are affected by channeling, water running in small tunnels through the coffee bed instead of extracting it even, you get a kind of sour empty taste. And when you pour for example too slow with a fine grind, the coffee might be over extracted (But not necessarily!! :-)). So its important to kind of find a method and work on it, learn how changes affect taste. What happened when i poured more aggressiv? Stearing up the coffee bed? What if i use courser coffee? And then you have all the small things to worry about like cleaning the filter, grinder and storing the beans at a good location etc. :D Its a fun craft! Others please fill in if i missed something or misunderstood something!
I really enjoyed my 19grams Coffee X-mas calender, I hope you liked it too :-)
My go-to method is the James Hoffmann method, but I will try the other ones you presented here as well. Thanks for sharing!
That was a very nice video, I'm surprised no one had made the comparison yet. I would suggest adding a brief summary of the resulting taste in the description. Hope your channel grows!!
Good idea. Thanks for watching!
Nice video man, real concise and helpful 👍
Thanks!
My personal experience is also that the April method is the most delicious and the coffee actually tastes like the notes on the bag. I finally tasted the jasmine tea or orange peel. Other methods were either too bitter for me or too bland.
I feel like I'm still getting my grind size wrong. What grind size would be good on a Baratza Encore or 1Zpresso JX?
@@ram_bam I dont brew with a V60 but for the Chemex I use around 22 to 24 on my Baratza Encore. Lence Hedrick brought out a Video with his v60 method and he says the grind size for the v60 its around 12 or 13 on a Baratza Encore. I would try his grind size and when its to bitter or to watery you always can adjust the grind size from there.
@@ryurenyama Thanks! This is helpful.
@@ram_bam no problem, I can highly recommend Lences videos for more information on pour over, expresso and more, cuz he explains a lot of useful coffee theory very nicely. In his v60 video he also mentions the grind size he uses in microns if you really wanna be precise xD
@@ryurenyama Yeah Lance is great. I've been using his pour over technique exclusively as of late. He brings the passion!
Thank you 🙏 brilliant presentation 👌
I wanted to search for some alternate V60 recipes to the one of James Hoffmann!
So I am actually super gald that this video got recommended to me!
Very well done video!!
Great video! Helped me with my V60, thank you!
Glad I could help :)
Thanks for this now I know what I am doing this weekend
I love this young man's videos :)
Thanks!
This was really useful, I was actually looking for a video showing how to do a smaller cup using the Hoffman method
Great video. I’ll go try these out 👊
Your video is a most excellent, and concise pour-over production I have yet seen, amigo. Count me as a new subscriber.
Thanks for the great video!
👏 great vid!! 🙌
Great video, thank you.
Great work on the video! Feels like a more easier recipe to follow than the original counterparts
Thanks!
Nice. Definitely gonna try these out tomorrow
Happy that I could help!
Cool video, I was on Hoffman side for the whole time but all recipes caught my attention, and will definetly try them out.
Good luck!
Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
Good job on the video!
This is actually a really cool video!
Thank you!
Great vid!
Nice and succinct, great video!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video. Great to see new people on the coffee youtube, cheers
Thanks for watching!
Great video man!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for amazing video 👍
Just tried April method, produced excellent results, explosion floral and long after sweet taste
Nice!
Great video! Thanks!
Your welcome !
Thank you!
Is there a difference when using a single cup V60 vs double cup V60 (while using the same amount of coffee grounds/water in both)?
Great video. 🍹
Lovely video. I am a practitioner of Kasuya's 4:6 method and even got his model of v60 for it. I love the consistency and characteristics of it, especially for my setup. However, I'm really glad you highlighted his "new" method as I am both very curious about it but also skeptical? It feels as though it needs a bit of workshopping but I am excited by the results that you got and would love to try it out, as well as all the other methods you noted!
It’s a very small cup
Great video 👌🏻💯
Wow nice video, just recently got into coffee and only been using James technique. It does make sense that some technique are not suitable for small batch brew. I usually only brew 15-20g of coffee so I definitely will try April technique next.
Nice 👍🏼 happy new year dear Carl & may god bless you 😇
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here! Thank you for sharing your coffee insights with us💯
Thank you for watching!
Wow I've been using Hoffman's method but tried out April Coffee's one cause of this video and the difference was ridiculous, definitely will be using April Coffee's method from now on
Glad I could help you make better coffee!
whats the difference
Great content
Neat video love it :)
Does it making any difference in test, because of the slightly different brewing method!!!!
Late to the party here. I would like to argue that Kurasu’s (Kyoto) method is the best. Using a blend of all these techniques (except the aggressive pouring). I do however feel that most recipes don’t use quite enough coffee. I go around 45 grams per 500ml and grind slightly coarser than you do. Gives a bit more of a chocolaty taste and less of an almost-tea-feeling. I learned to up the amount of coffee by own of the best baristas in Sweden by the way.
Great vid! In methods like April's, if you were to do a larger brew (350-500ml), would you suggest splitting the pours from 4 to instead 5-6 equal pours and grinding a bit coarser?
Yes, just keep doing 50 g ours every 30 seconds and go a bit coarser
I see that you are using a 1zpresso. Could you possibly tell me how many clicks on a 1zpresso Q2? or at least tell me how many did you use on yours? I'm looking specifically for April's v60 recipe. Thanks!
April mathod seems to be a simplized version of 4-6 mathod. Nice filmed vids. Good job dude.
Just subbed, great video keep it up!
Thank you!
Amazing content! Just got into pour over after being an espresso and hoffman snub for sometime. Found this video aaaandd subscribed! Thanks for making this video, can’t wait to try them out! I have also been making mistake with the hoffman technique so thanks for that as well.
Edited: I have been using the adjusted chemex recipe. Looks like there aren’t chemex alternatives for some of these. FWIW April does have a non single cup different recipe for the chemex
Very interesting. My recipe is very basic, 15g coffee 90C, 30ml bloom. Then I just fill up the V60 and keep it topped up until 250mls of water has been poured. I preferred that to Hoffmans and Kasuya's - however April Coffee's one is piquing my interest with letting the coffee 'relax' between pours
Great Video Carl, especially for a pourover Newbie like me. It would be helpful to share the Type of Grinder and used Settings for the recipes. Despite different Coffees...
Thanks for your helpful Videos!
In this video I used the JS grinder from 1Zpresso. Will add settings in future videos. Thanks for watching!
Happy new year kiddo!
You too!
Great vid 👍
Thanks for watching!
I was hoping you were going to do Tetsu's 4:6 method. I did his sweet version, and it blew my mind how sweet the coffee smelled compared to how I used to do pour over
I'm using Hoffman's pour as I find it more balanced. You should do 120ml of water at 60% since you did 30ml already for the bloom. Also I find less grounds stuck on wall if you stir and swirl less aggressively. Great vid.
Thanks for the recommendations! Will definitely implement next time I brew the Hoffmann V60 recipe
How much time did you take to pour first 60percent and next 40percent, in consideration with 250ml of total volume
@@rishoo007 Timing really varies on the grind and filter type. Right now I'm brewing 22g of coffee with 350ml using the original hario v60 02 untabbed bleached filters as they have faster brew time. My timing (from start to finish) is usually 45seconds, 1:35 and 2:15. Roughly as it aslo depends on how fast your pouring.
Hi Carl
Great video thank you. I tend to use the Jane H recipe but have not tried the final pour as a more “centre pour”. I’m keen to try the April recipe, how would you advise scaling it up? 26g coffee, 400g water and 4 x 100g pours every 30 seconds?
Thanks for the advice!!
James H, not Jane H
4 * 100 grams every 30 seconds works well, but you will have to adjust your grind size coarser
Excellent video! Very easy to follow, and I really appreciate your top down view so we can see exactly what’s going on during the brew. What grinder is that?
The JS grinder from 1Zprezzo. Thanks for watching!
Great video! you have a new subscriptor, grettings from Argentina!
Dank je wel!
Thanks for this video. I hadn't ever heard of the April method and am excited to try it out. Could you please share the grind settings you used on your JX? Is that basic or pro?
It is actually the JS grinder from 1Zpresso, so the grindsettings wont work on JX. Thank you for watching
How would you brew April’s recipe for 500g of water? Would you do 4 pours of 125g of water every 30 seconds?
April coffee themselves have done a video on that topic: czcams.com/video/X-fXQKqkYxI/video.html Thanks for watching!
Great video! Can I ask how you would upscale the April recipe for a 20g/300ml brew? Thanks
Continue doing 50 g pours every 30 seconds and go a tiny bit coarser
Great video, I just tried the April recipe for the first time and I made a really good cup even with rather cheap discounter beans! I tweaked it a little bit because of my current beans but yeah. How would it compare to the original tetsu kasuya method? Or overall other methods that consist of multiple short pours
It's simpler which is really important for dialling in a new coffee. Tetsu's original recipe is very customisable so it's hard to compare
Great video！！！keep going
If you wanted to make a 2 cup (400-500ml) serving, would you just do every ratio twice on the same brew? Thank you
For the first 2 check out the video links in the description - they are both originally 2 cup recipes. On the other 2 you have to calculate the ratio and use that to figure out the 2 cup recipe
Do you happen to remember the rotations / numbers (10 per rotation) used on the 1Zpresso JX for each recipe? Just curious... of course it will depend on the type of coffee, brew size, etc. but wondering if mine are in the same range as yours.
I use the JS grinder so I don't know if it translates to Jx. RAO: 2 rotations minus 5 clicks HOFFMANN: 2 rotations minus 5 clicks. TETSU: 1 and a half rotations + 2 clicks (I think) APRIL: 2 rotations + 2 clickdy
I used a KINU hand grinder. Can you let me know where you recommend I grind for each ?
@@josephk8248 I unfortunately don't have the Kind so I don't know
Just tried the Tetsu Kasuya brew method with Columbian & Honduran beans and it was actually sweeter! The aftertaste was muted tho.
Can’t wait to try it with Ethiopian beans for an even sweater cup.
Awesome video!
Tetsu also noted himself that the aftertaste was quite short. Thanks for watching!
Cool comparison. I will the April method a try. BTW Have you tried osmotic flow? If I do it well (which is not always possible) the resulting coffee is very rich with pronounced taste. It has been my go-to in the last few months.
I have tried it. Big fan
