I had always heard about cold brew having muddy flavor or not expressing the subtle flavors of the bean, so when my brother was saying how much he really liked the Cold Bruer as well as his son, I mentioned what I had heard. He said his experience wasn't anything like that with...
After having a few DM conversations with members (like zero610 and Jake_G), I thought it would be a good idea to pool the opinions of all HB brew-focused users.
I'm interested in uncovering what 98mm burrs are optimal for filter brewing only, promoting sweetness and...
A few times a week I brew a half pot of drip on my Technivorm Moccamster 10c with thermal pot and thoroughly enjoy it. I use 33g and the half-flow setting. I've had the machine for about 15 years. My wife and I mostly drink espresso/americano otherwise.
For the matte black and white finishes for the EKG kettles, how easy are they to maintain and keep clean? As a birthday gift, my wife purchased the EKG kettle in polished chrome, which looks beautiful, but I am afraid that keeping it clean will be a pain. I already fuss over the...

What settings do people use with it for ~25 gram V60 brews? I usually start at 5 with a new coffee and use a Hario Switch with 03 dripper to make a Clever-like brew...
lately, I had to work with a lot of lighter roasted coffee and it's outside of my element. As I'm trying to adjust I'm not sure how to describe desirable characteristics or what I'm looking for. Often I get woody or nutty flavours and I'm confused if this is what the demand for...
I ordered some Red Bird Yirgacheffe, and was very disappointed by its quality. They are quite over roasted. The medium roast level certainly tastes like city+ to full city.
I tried to lower water temperature, increase grind size, use full immersion (Hario switch), and the...
