• November Echelon: Colombia Nestor Lasso Ombligon

  @Ed F My original dial-in was 650 microns. I enjoyed the finer grind settings, so that is likely why the grinder was set where it was, as I described in the video. I apologize for the discrepancy. ...

  Hey everyone, We should be approaching the 3-week mark I recommended as the PEAK. If you find it a subtle cup, feel free to add an extra 0.5-1g. Finer is a good note for low-fine grinders.  ...

• Corrected: August Echelon Sebastian Ramirez

  It was not completely dry in between my pours. The late stage was simply stalling. A small contributor to the different drain times could be the different grinders. I was surprised that I had to go...

  @Jensen Suther would you mind sharing the details of how you are brewing? Are you trying to follow the recipe (do as I write, not as I do cause I'm a dum dum)? I'd be curious what kind of water you...

  @Philip Sanchez Thanks for sharing! That's one reason that I like some variance in my grinder. More complexity. I think we can make our own adjustments for clarity in the cup, but I like a little v...

  @Ed F Considering you grinder is producing less fines (and higher uniformity) a faster time isn't surprising. I think that opens up your ability to grind even more finely. Not necessarily to hit th...

  Hey Matthew, While the pours start in the center, I reference a Spiral Pour for each of these stages. That should help. Also, the pour time isn't indicative of drain time in between pulses. Ex. th...

  @Jensen Suther Hello! I recommend resting about 14days. I do mention my preference for long rest with this coffee in the brew video. You are right, its a light roast and from this farm is particula...

  @Josh Riley Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'm glad both the coffee and recipe can continue to improve! Or at least, that I can continue to get better at brewing crazy coffees. Eugenioides for t...

  @Richard Brose The Origami adds more versatility! I started with the recipe I shared last year and then played with it since it was acting differently than the last crop.

  @Jensen Suther Sorry for the late reply, I had trouble logging into the forum whenever I was notified of this question. I wouldn't be too worried about it! Translating from a flat burr (Vario+) to ...

  @Mykel Tso Thanks for the share. How was the cup quality? The chart is based on grind setting, we don't actually grind on each of the grinders. I suspect more boulders in the conical C40 than in fl...

• February Brew Guide

  @Jensen Suther I recommend this recipe after a week of rest. Transferring to a C40 (conical) vs the Vario + (flat) I would recommend maybe 2-4clix coarser for this same recipe. A muddy brew could b...

• Day 5: Mexico Puebla Zapotitlan #2

  @John Bruszer Hi John, I wouldn't get to hung up on exact drain times if you are using a different dripper. The Chemex, with its very thick filter paper, will traditionally drain much longer. Altho...

• Day 4: Colombia Aponte Village

  @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!
