So which one tastes better?
Which Camera ?
osmo pocket 3
I'd like to suggest a soft swirl after your initial 50g of water.
👍 will do that
Very curious to hear what profile you land on with the casa + Aiden!
Still using the same profile for now with minor tweaks, check out my older videos casa compared with ode2 and p64. Will share an updated profile once it’s ready
Ah - I watched that but didn’t see an Aiden profile?
Hi, using this profile for light roast coffee Ratio - 1-17 Bloom ratio - 1:2 Bloom duration - 30/45s Bloom temp - 96degc 2 pulses Time between pulses - 15/30s Pulse 1 temp - 96degc Pulse 2 temp - 92degc
I have found the Aiden to brew bitter coffee... That's with the built in default recipes... Adjusting grind and amount of beans helps but in the end I can still taste bitter. It may be that it's too perfect and exposes the bean quality who knows. I've tried several different bean brands. I need to experiment and make my own recipe and see if I can calm the bitter. The brewer is very advanced but in the end if it can't brew a smooth cup of coffee then what is it's purpose?
Totally agree, with so many options it can definitely get frustrating at times. Since you’ve tested many beans with the current profile, maybe try tweaking a few more parameters. Try to reduce the last pulse temp by 10-15deg or more or cut off the brew earlier to see if it helps with the bitterness.
😮🤩😍
How seasoned are both sets of burrs?
I’ve gone through over 3kg with the p64 and close to 500g with the casa.
Great vids, thanks! Keep em coming :)
Did you use the Medium roast guided setting on the Aiden? And you’re doing a 5,1 grind on the Ode? Got the same setup recently
Hi, this is my Aiden brew profile, yes grind size is 5,1 on the Ode2 Ratio - 1-17 Bloom ratio - 1:2 Bloom duration - 30/45s Bloom temp - 96degc 2 pulses Time between pulses - 15/30s Pulse 1 temp - 96degc Pulse 2 temp - 92degc
great video. i have a 65cl coming next week too, good to know it does 99% of what the p64 does at roughly 1/3rd the price and more interestingly it's a conical! Curious what was your process for filtering out the fines? did you use a kruve or something?
I don’t have the kruve sifter so I used the fellow prismo filter to shake out fines, some boulders slipped through 😂
Amazing videos! I've watched every single one. Keep it up! 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words and support!
Hi, Big difference between this 65cl burrs and the 48mm ?
Unfortunately I don’t have the 48mm burrs to compare. Ordered the Casa with 65CL burrs
I got the 65CL in the mail today and swapped them for the 48MS - once I got it dialed I think I got more nuanced flavor from the same coffee I’d had earlier with the 48MS. Kinda hard to compare directly as the swap does take a few mins but maybe I’ll pre grind and try it out. Did note that for the bean I was using, the dialed setting of 6.0 on the 48MS translated to 7.6 on the 65CL (for the same profile/recipe/shot time). First shot I tried at 6.0 got me 11g out in 99 seconds lol
@@w1ndsurf0rd13 waw! What a Big change on grind setting between the 2 burrs !
I swapped mine yesterday. Once I re-zeroed it, the grind settings where identical
What burrs inside p64? Thanks
using the mizen 64om
No more watery pour over Espresso only
Use the brewers cup winner method wirh the Hario Switch. In that method its a mixed pour over and second half immersion. Improves sweetness dramatically
Thanks, will definitely get one to try out soon
Cool, I just ordered the Lagom Casa as my first ever grinder. Looks really good and seems to be doing a good job. Now I need to order an espresso machine, leaning towards the Profitec Go.
Flair ,58 is king, saves a ton of money for a better grinder which means better coffee
👍 happy brewing with your new setup
Does the stalk/stand still wobble on this version of the casa? Ive read some people say there’s a bit of a wobble when you try to wobble it. Thanks in advance!
So far the whole grinder feels solid with no wobble.
Did you have Lagom Mini with any burrs?
Unfortunately I don’t have one on hand
Great video. Could you provide some good brew profiles for larger batches? I usually pourover about 800mL of coffee in the morning for my wife and I, really looking forward to trying our new Aiden this weekend!
Great video!
Thanks!
Can you share the details of your Aiden brew profile for this brew? Thanks!
Ratio - 1:17 Bloom ratio - 1:2 Bloom duration - 30/45s Bloom temp - 96degc 2 pulses Time between pulses - 15/30s Pulse 1 temp - 96degc Pulse 2 temp - 92degc
Roughly how much coffee should I grind for pour over coffee for one person? I want 2-3 cups of coffee.
You can experiment with different brew ratios recommended by the SCA depending on the type of coffee you’re using
I am waiting for my 65mm burrs, the 48mm is also fantastic
Nice video! Who makes that beautiful coffee carafe?
Thanks! I picked it up online a while back. It was a random find with no brand mentioned
simple, prompt, thx! you did not include shot of the catch cup after getting out the grind, I assume it was quiet empty, no static. did you run into stalling issues so far? apparently certain Casa 65 batches might have problems with really light roast espresso, regardless the hot/cold start.
yeah the grind cup empties cleanly for filter. For espresso, there are some fines but 1-2 taps get most of it out. No stalling issues so far.
@ sounds good, thank you for getting back!
Do you know how they compare to the 48mm moonshine or niche zero for espresso?
I don’t have the 48mm burrs or niche zero to compare. The niche zero is more for traditional espresso with medium/dark roasts and more body. The casa is closer to my P64 Omni, so they’d likely be quite different.
Great video and good job! Keep up the good work buddy, I was planning to buy the fellow Aiden but so many negative reviews on YT about quality and they recommended to wait for V2, what are your thoughts on Aiden?
Thanks! I agree about the build quality issues, I’ve had 2 brews stuck after the bloom phase. Other than that, I’ve been lucky with no major problems 😬. I got the Aiden hoping for more consistent brews, ease of use, and to experiment with different brew options. I believe it has delivered on consistency and good tasting coffee, I’ve been brewing more drip/filter coffee 😀 so I’m ok with the quality issues and am happy to continue brewing with it.
What carafe is that?
No specific brand, just a random find online.
@ thanks…
I get consistently higher EY% using the batch brew shower AND basket using a 20 gram dose when compared (all else equal) to the single / single combo. Definitely results in a flat bed on the batch settings. Try it, just use medium profile for example on both and you will see.
Thanks, I’ll check it out to see the difference in taste.
Science!
How does the Aiden compare with a moccamaster...especially as a batch brewer. I make 1.25 liters every morning can the Aiden do that? Wonder what the difference in flavor would be
Unfortunately I don't have a moccamaster to make a proper comparison, but I’ll look into it if I get the chance.
Thank you for the video’s keep making them. My advice is not to overcomplicate things otherwise you’ll never be happy. I used to be happy with over extracted coffee but since it became my hobby this year I think I threw away many coffee brews because my brews were not balanced. I just ordered a ode gen 2 grinder, I’m using zero water with apax lab minerals. I use a hario 01 v60 filter. My ratios is usually around 1:15. 15 grams of coffee and ending up around 240ml of coffee. I aim for a brewing time around 3 minutes. At the end I think I’ll end up with a fellow Aiden for consistency.
Thanks Patrick agree with you. I try to get dialed in close to my preference after that I make minor tweaks to experiment. It's important to taste and enjoy the process not only dialing in for the perfect brew. Yes the fellow Aiden is good for consistency. Waiting for the phone app to be released and future updates to edit brews and adjust individual pour duration.
Hi there. As regards heating of the dripper, I have been testing using the Hario Switch base (it can accommodate all "removable" Hario drippers") as a way to keep very hot water in contact with my ceramic dripper (not a Hario one). That is, placing the ceramic dripper on top of the Hario Switch, closing the switch and then pouring boiling water on top. I think this warmed well enough the dripper.
@@sotirisdiamantopoulos231 ahh I didn’t know that it works with different drippers. Will check it out thanks 🙏
This video is a must-watch for coffee lovers! The High-Capacity Brewer sounds perfect for hosting brunches. Love it! 👏@homekitdecor
Where’d you buy the cup Simon? It looks great
Aliexpress try searching for Japanese style coffee ceramic mugs
I've found you have to open the lid and stir the grounds in the Aiden for single serve. Still producing bitter coffee for me.
same here tried stirring and increasing the number of pours but I got bitter notes. can't remember which video but I remember seeing a flatter bed. Could be for larger batch brews
@@SimonAndrewCoffee I'm experimenting with grind size to go coarser 🙏
Is it bitter and hollow/empty or just a hint of bitterness with good body. If the latter I would probably try to increase the coffee dose slightly (around 0.5-1.0g) and keep the grind size the same
I think it was more hollow bitterness. I added more grinds but it got more bitter. Ended up reducing the ratio from 1:15 to 1:16 (400g : 25g). Was still bitter. Made the grind coarser and made my first smooth cup. No bitterness. I saw a Fellow video that says Aiden extracts efficiently. This grind is maybe like French press. Uncomfortably coarse. But the tweaks continue. Probably need a coffee spectrometer.
👍 my next video is about identifying your coffee taste and the adjustments to make. Hope it will be helpful for you as well
Turn the glass v60 the other way to preheat on your kettle. Have a watch of the q&a on the James Hoffmann better 1 cup v60 method
Thanks! previously I tried inverting the dripper but without any filter paper. condensation water was dripping all over my kettle base 😂
Well done. I like your channel. Keep up good work!🎉
Thanks Evan for your motivating comment. Have been learning how to record & edit videos and taste coffee at the same time 😄 hard work but enjoying it and appreciate your support.
Turm the glass v60 the other way to preheat on your kettle. Have a watch of the q&a on the James Hoffmann better 1 cup v60 method
i use a fork to even my grinds... lol.. u do it wrong jk haha 😊
Honestly just do an AI voiceover if you're not going to do one.
👍
I prefer nothing than those silly AI voice over. Keep up the good work.
No the video is perfect like this
Great video
Thanks!
Why they named a coffee machine after one of the worst boy names is beyond me
Why the worst name?… But as long as it is a good tool and able to make great coffee I'm keeping it 😊
