I’m wondering if we should start a sticky post which contains everyone’s collection of Bean/Grinder+Setting/Brew method information as a reference. It’s always good to have a nice starting point.
I will update as comments come up.
| Bean | Grinder | Settings | Brew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speckled Ax - Early Bird | Encore ESP | 20 | Aeropress 11g - 200ml |
| Speckled Ax - Bird Dog Espresso | Encore ESP | 23 | Aeropress 11g - 200ml |
| Speckled Ax - Early Bird | Encore ESP | 21 | V60 15g - 280ml |
| Light Roast | Fellow Opus | 4.5 | Moka Pot |
| All | Encore | 16 | V60 |
| Light Roast | Encore | 18 | Chemex - 1 cup |
| Light Roast | Encore | 20 | Chemex 32g - 2 cups |
| Light Roast | Encore | 22 | Chemex - 3 cups |
| All | Jaffee J1 | 30 clicks | Switch 20g - 300ml |
For my V60 pourovers I mostly set my Encore to 16, sometimes varying by +/- 2 for different beans at different ages.
I think this is neat idea, but some days I’ll just vary it based on what I’m feeling, nevermind any fixed variable, so I personally just like knowing the starting point to play with for different grinders/brew methods.
I just ordered the V60 number 2 kit in brown. Should be here this week. I’m excited to take a try at pour over at home.
Hope you enjoy! It’s a very satisfying way to make coffee, even on those days where something doesn’t taste quite right.
First brew, sour lol might need a try s finer grind… Lol
Yeah, it’s just about those starting points.
