You mean March LSOL ?

March's April beans, yes

This morning's entry. Having some issues getting the lighting right. Using the flash would probably make sense. I only give myself a 6 in this instance.

Today's 2nd v60.

Are you keeping the water level quite low there? I'd give that a 6.5/10 ☺

Today's second v60 with my brand new vario steel burrs

The water level peaked at just over half way up the v60 sides. I did 3 equal pours after the bloom. Do you think that is low?

Mark you've given @Elcee brew slurry paranoia now!

 

[fatboyslim]

Very delicious defrosted LSOL brew. Another single continuous pour where I let water level get pretty high (please don't let that be a source of anxiety ;-)

Here are pics of 4 stages of the bed.

How long did it take? Looks a bit coarser than I normally do

This brew was with 21 grams of coffee with a bloom of 50 g water, then three pours 40 seconds apart of 150 g, 75 g and 75g. Full draw down at 3 mins 40 secs.

It's remarkable that you managed to take pictures in between pours [emoji6]

I did a brew video awhile back but I've learnt a lot since then. Linked below anyway. I used a car phone holder mounted to my cupboard ?

Cool video! I currently also add 200g of water, but I like a higher ratio with 13.3g of coffee instead of 12g. Thanks for sharing

Yeh I use 14g into 230ml and almost always use Kalita wave now except for very difficult coffees. That is quite a high brew ratio you're using! Wonder how it affects your brew slurry!

Actually we use roughly the same brew ratio. I do 200+20g water / 13.3g coffee = 16.5

You do 16.4 [emoji5]

I've never used a Kalita though. It's the difference very noticeable?

I get greater consistency from Kalita. That's the main reason. That and I've also got 400 filter papers for it ?

V60 (01) James Gourmet LSOL beans. 13.5g 225g (2_4g extra water always added as I pit the grinds into dry paper, allows for soakage), six pours, bed drained in 3.17

Got to be a good 8/10.....

Excellent level bed. Indeed worthy of a 8/10 but an outstanding 10/10 for the photography and a 1/10 for getting your LSOL before me and I bloody paid for the whole lot!
