Hi I am very confused atm….i mostly drin espresso so I have a Espresso Focus burrset.
I still tried to make some pourovers (v60) but my drawdown was always at like 5-8 min even when grinding coursee then the scale on my grinder. Ao i thought too many fines, lets get a handgrinder. So i got the Q air. On reddit i found some advoce that at around 60 klicks is a good pour over zone.
Again 8 min drawdown. Went to 90 klicks still 5min drawdown. The hell am I doing wrong ?
I do a 50g bloom and then two pours at 40 and 1:20.

I have been trying to dial in my V60 recipe for quite some time. I am consistently having an issue with lighter roast beans (mostly Ethiopian, but not always) and the draw down time.

I've watched countless videos, I've switched grind sizes. I recently even replaced my burrs in my Baratza Encore. I still consistently am getting my pours muddied up and stuck at over 6 minutes.

I've tried pouring closer to the V60, agitating the beans, pouring further away, less beans, more beans. I feel like I've tried everything haha.

My most recent pour with the Onyx Tropical Weather bean wasn't even done at 6 minutes on a 26 grind on my Baratza! Crazy. Obviously that's over extracted.

Here's my setup:

Hario V60

Baratza Encore (typically try it at 18, but have been going up to as coarse as 26 - which tastes terrible)

Distilled Water with Third Wave Water minerals

Scale.

Most recent method was the 4:6 method.

What am I doing wrong?
