804 Ditting, and more and more I find going coarser makes better coffee. For a one pour V60 17:1 ~25g brew, the under 3 minutes tend to be best.

But, I think generally comparing brew times is not all that productive. Different coffees are going to take different times and certainly there will be a large difference from grinder to grinder. The most important thing is the extraction (if you're measuring that) and taste.

After a few more days of experimenting, I'm starting to get good results with two pours (in addition to the bloom) and 3-3:15 overall time. I'm also finding that reducing the temperature by a couple of degrees is useful, even with lighter roasts.
I've been using cafec filters in the origami, to get a V60 type brew with more bypass. Will experiment with the kalita filters at some point soon, they were awful with the Niche, far too easy to choke.

I completely agree. For the past few weeks, I've been doing one pour V60 17:1 with a 30g dose through my 804 and I've been getting my best results that way. Usually somewhere around ~2:45. I would totally recommend it!Acavia wrote:804 Ditting, and more and more I find going coarser makes better coffee. For a one pour V60 17:1 ~25g brew, the under 3 minutes tend to be best.

Given some of these numbers, i tried to run a much shorter brew today with the Flat SLM and some "guava banana" Colombian from My Friends Coffee. I overshot the grind adjustment and found that my be completed in 2:15. Amazingly, this was probably my best brew yet with this grinder - vibrant and juicy tropical fruit notes with no residual bitterness. One thing that i noticed was a slight dry, astringent note in the aftertaste. Maybe this was slightly under extracted?

Those cafec light roasts filters have a very and mean very high resistance not being able to get brew times onder 4:00-4:30min. The older ones where better in my eyes but the current ones just have way too long drawdown times and I stopped usng them. I went back to normal V60 filters and got much better results and normal drawdown times.ShotClock wrote:After a few more days of experimenting, I'm starting to get good results with two pours (in addition to the bloom) and 3-3:15 overall time.

I'd say about 1cm away from 6. Keep in mind I'm using the 80mm SSP Ultra Low Fines burrs. My machine is calibrated to standard Ditting parameters by a local workshop. Good luck!

Mine is half a number from chirp so a whole number lower if yours is 1 1/2 from chirp which I think is the base calibration??

Not sure! Wish I could help with that. I say start there and adjust according to taste.
