French Pull [video]
The paper filter has essentially no effect on oils. Once you pull the coffee through the grounds, the oil amount drops dramatically. One misconception is that the paper filter is the reason some methods have more oils than others. It's the filter absorbing the oils, and when the "filter" is a cake b...

French Pull [video]
Done with playing with the method for a while - too much other stuff to do. Bottom line: it works. The grounds create an extremely effective cake filter.

Brewing Method Recommendations for Book
Also - the Hario Mini is not great without some fussing, and I find it doesn't provide consistency over time. Way too much center axle motion. It's only a tick better than a whirlyblade.

Temperature profile of the Clever Dripper
I've also found that if the hold temperature is too high (>170degF), like sitting on a hotplate, the brew will start to go bitter/sour in about 25-40 minutes. Several friends/coworkers have had really good luck by hot brewing semi-concentrated, allowing to cool (or even putting into a fridge covered...
