@Clint Ashlock I brew with a Kalita too and skip the center pour in the brew guides for a spiral pour. I find that center pours work better for cone shaped brewers with deeper coffee beds vs flat b...

Brewed on my modded Kalita today and dang it's good. Loving the sweetness and body it has. Tasting how it changes as it cools down is fun too and shows how complex the coffee  is. Probably my ...

Guessing there is a need to change this technique for a flatter Kalita 185? Even with a lower kettle height, I tend to get a volcano shape when pouring down the center. That in mind, I've been pre...

@Danny Lovell Hey Danny, the heavy center pour is intended to agitate the whole "cone-shaped" brew bed. It's not unique to our approach to the Origami, but can also be used in the V60 for sure!

@Mark Cizdziel She points out that the kettle spout (the Fellow Stagg EKG) should not be very high up when doing the heavy pour; if it's too high, the water will channel straight down and fail...

1st brew: espresso for Americanosubtle sweet aroma like doughnuts. Taste reminded me of a single origin dark chocolate bar, punchy and complex. 2nd brew: V60Much stronger aroma - kind of like ceda...

@Danny Lovell I'm not from Onyx but I had the same question about the initial center pour. I noticed it was recommended in their v60 video brew guide for this exact coffee (available here on YouTub...

While this is certainly less bitter than yesterdays presentation. I'm not getting any of the promised sweetness. I get some sour notes that dissipate quickly, even as it cools I'm not getting the s...

@Jake Mason I haven't done research yet or found any conversion charts, great question though. Looking at both grinders side-by-side, it seems that they are identicial and the grind wheel at the fr...

This is a welcome and tasty relief from yesterday's Kenya, and the most interesting flavor journey so far. I am having a very hard time articulating what I'm tasting, and it is changing with every ...

For my fellow 1Zpresso K-Ultra users, I tried 8.7 on the grind setting but will tweak it for my second cup. Had to set my Ember mug to a lower drink temperature after seeing the suggestions on lett...

@Onyx  regarding brew instructions: I have never used an Origami, nor had I tried the initial heavy center pour before starting the 2023 Advent. Is that technique highly recommended to complim...

@Tom Apple I've found this for some of the days, too. The only issue is I swear it looks like it's written in a foreign language to me I'm newer to espresso and using a Breville Barista Express, so...

For the first brew I enjoyed the coffee only after it cooled, but I adjusted my grind setting down on my second brew and enjoyed the entire cup.Method: Aeropress: 12g/200g 20 second bloom 120 seco...

@Jordan Sadler @Nick Valaitis  I haven't made my brew yet, but the cooling factor improving the taste is quite interesting. I wonder if that means something like a Japanese style iced coffee (...

I am a day ahead right now and wanted to know the brew guide for this coffee?  I made a 19g pourover this morning in the Next Level Pulsar. Ground it coarse (setting 7.2) in my Fellow Ode with...

I love it when the tasting notes are spot on.   Sweet piquant grapefruit with a very nice mouth feel for such a coffee.   Aftertaste does linger on the sides and tip of the tongue in a go...

@Nick Valaitis Agreed on the lack of lingering on this one. A few seconds and it was gone. Like night and day vs yesterdays, which sat with me too long!

I loved this cup, as again, a fan of African coffees. I definitely got a sense of sweetness and bright flavors. It does have a great citrus note with some tartness and sweetness mixed nicely togeth...

Total opposite to yesterdays Kenyan.  This was a nice cup. Although i didn't get the intensly sweet flavor.  Some sweetness, and definitely the dried cherry. Agree with the other poster,...

This one improved a lot after cooling, it becomes more honey tasting and complex. My first taste was a feeling of astringency, and then there is definitely that silk on the tongue. A nice, sweet fi...

@Courtney Arias @Florence Wood I found the espresso brew guides by going directly to the page where you can buy the beans. Here is the link for this one. https://onyxcoffeelab.com/products/co...

@Florence Wood I'm in the same boat. I only drink espresso at home and I'm finding this to be such a frustrating experience. I wish it would've been clearly stated that there would not be specific ...

@Stefan Unertl do you know if there is a conversion chart for Ode 2 to Ode 1? I presumed they were the same but perhaps this isn't the case. I also have an Ode 1 and want to make sure I’m get...
