Anyone know the science of why you could adjust sweetness/acidity by varying the amount of the first pour, and strength by varying the number of pours?
I'm a life-long coffee lover, but.... some sort of switch flipped in my head when I was about 28 or so, and I had my first great cup of coffee. From what I know about it, it was dumb luck and the stars aligned and the angels sang, and rainbows glinted off every shiny surface....
EVERYTHING WILL KILL YOU AND POISON YOU!! (Sorry, not one of those threads :D)
I am just curious, for all the talk of some people being concerned with plastics in drippers like a V60, Clever, Aeropress, etc. - why is there never any talk of potential lead leaching from ceramic...
I ran across this Kickstarter campaign called SIMPLIFY the Brewer , it's a flatbottom brewer that uses Kalita Wave 185 paper with a single giant hole at the bottom. Made/designed in Japan. The guy behind it seems interesting. There certainly seems to be a demand out there for...
Anyone tried both? I have a Stainless Steel 185 and am waiting for my dispersion screen from Flair to arrive to hopefully help with clogging. Have recently learned that the Ceramic Kalita Wave brews much superior to the SS version. Also discovered the SS.

I keep seeing Rao, Gagne, Decent, etc. pushing high extraction brews. The Tricolate brewer is the newest for this, and Gagne recently released a blog post on 10 minute Aerporess immersion brews.
Which got me thinking, specifically on the aeropress brew which is really just a...
I have a cheap Brix refractometer that I use for beer brewing and it works well for testing the original gravity of the wart before fermentation. I just tried to use it for pour-over coffee and the result seem a bit optimistic when it comes to extraction yield. I used the...
