r/pourover

Ever since I saw the YouTube video of these guys, I’d wanted to come check them out.

So to my knowledge they’re generally known for their hand drip technique, very slowly done. Center pour, bloom slowly built up. Dark roast beans are common. I decided to get a standard hot cup of a dark roast and see how it fared, while my wife went with a medium (lightest thing on the menu) iced Kenyan.

Dark roast? Pretty good, very drinkable “classic” coffee taste. The lower temp they use definitely lends itself to a sweeter sort of profile. Very akin to the nel drip recipes that use a much stronger coffee:water ratio.

Kenyan? Fucking fantastic. Super heavy on the typical tomato soup notes that only Kenyan coffees provide. I stole my wife’s cup several times just to get a little more of it. Highly recommended!

All in all it was fun to finally see this little van in person, and the wonderful people that run it.

Hope some more of you can get over there someday!

It’s my first time spending a little more on a coffee and the truth is that it was 100% worth it. I just tried the coffee in the image and it has left me speechless, I have finally found super marked notes in a coffee, and it is really very tasty. It has a juicy and intense strawberry flavour with a sweet touch of cream. As for the aroma, you can also appreciate 100% those same notes. I don’t know if it’s just this particular batch or if Néstor Lasso really nails it in all his coffees, but for now, I would recommend everyone to try this coffee at least once in their life.

Spoiled myself for the next few weeks with a couple of really special coffees I hope I can do justice to and few very solid ones too that I’ve had before. First time trying Sioptec roasters and happy that it’s a collab with the utterly extremely good brew bar Amulet in Glasgow. Aren’t UK coffee roasters great!

Just coming back from China to see my in-laws, (one of which who had just been to America), and they knew I like my coffee and bought me this. I have amazing in-laws…

Headed out of town for a few weeks for a work conference. Gonna be stuck in a windowless conference hall with coworkers for like 10 days. Figured I had to bring the setup to survive.

We all really enjoy good coffee so that’s the reason for the multi drippers. Pretty happy with how much I fit in just an old Ronin case and my A4Z case that’s been in the closet since I bought it.

Definitely overkill but it’s gonna be a long week 😂

Been meaning to go for a while and finally got round to it.
Had a pour-over (Panama Maragogype natural) — really good cup, super fruity and smooth.

What beans do you recommend from them?

The specialty coffee scene in Rome is so boring. I went to 3 different coffee shops and all of them sourced their beans from same roaster, Aliena coffee roasters.

5 years ago there was a coffee shop, called Pagamino, near Vatican, they sell beans from different roasters, such as garage, gardelli and even the barn. I thought they were closed, but turns out they move inside a beer bar and i dont understand how can you order a cup of coffee there.

I mean, Aliena’s coffee is Amazing, but its like they are monopolies Rome’s specialty coffee. Every where i go i only see them.

I’ve had an 1zpresso grinder for 3 years as make 1-2 cups a day. It appears to be low retention and I’m not having any problems (I do find myself grinding courser than ever lately), but it’s been 3 years and I’m wondering if it needs cleaning. I’m not looking forward to dialing in again after recalibration. How often do you clean your hand grinders?

Having started doing pourovers 5 year ago. This is my first encounter with foreign object. Something look off when a spoon of bean dropped into my dosing tube.

Has anyone ever seen this grinder before? It apparently comes with three different burrs with different geometry to focus on clarity, richness, or balance. Never heard of Staresso as a company and they have two reviews thus far. Definitely looks interesting. I've already got several grinders and mostly use my ZP6 80% of the time anyway, so I don't have much need for it. But just curious if anyone has any experience with this grinder or anything else from Staresso?

DAK has done it again. Holy hell this is a tasty cup.

Fantastic cherry and raspberries from the first sip, with giving Hubba Bubba aroma vibes. Brewed using the Orea Z1, locking in all that flavour, but also quite a coarser grind at 34 clicks on the Comandante. Looking forward to the rest of this bag. Also, hit this straight from first brew, no wasting beans with dialling in.

This current set of coffees has been the absolute best I’ve had open t one time. The Heart Luz Divia Fierro Pink Bourbon is solid, the 2 from Strait Coffee Rosters are the best I’ve had from @Austinthe roaster. My addon bag from Prodigal is just sweetness in coffee form.

I did and it’s my first decaf. Been craving some sweeter cups late in the evening on a work night”. I’m looking forward to enjoying this.

Anyone brew from Broadstreet in general? First from them as well.

These are 15-gram dosage.

It always depends on the beans how much space is left in the tubes. Do you think there’s too much air in there to freeze? I usually use a vacuum bag, but I find these tubes so convenient.

Does anyone have any experience?
