The sE V7 sounds amazing!
Great video. Can you share a link to the shock mount with built in pop filter you're using on the V7?
What do you believe is the optimal recipe for light roasts with the stagg pour over device?
I’m surprised this barely got likes, I always drink a coffee with a spoon; Probably because either when I was young I used to drink hot stuff with a spoon, or maybe because I didn’t want my mouth getting hot lol.
*Correction; This barely got likes and comments
Can the xf fit 60 grams of grinds?
Great review! SE V7 is the clear winner for recording in an untreated room for podcasts. AT2020 Condenser sounds great, but it's picking up fan noise or whatever that was in the distant background. I use Shure SM58 mics for podcast recording in an untreated room. They work phenomenally well. I just picked up an SE V7 for review and can't wait to try it out!
I’ve been looking into the SEV7 for a little bit now. Want to use it as my podcast Mike. I love your pop filter set up on it. What specifically are those filters and shock mounts do you have put on the seven?
Can you use the Kalita 155 filters on the Stagg X?
What grind setting do you use for your Bambino?
It depends on the coffee, but generally I'm somewhere between 11 and 13 on the Sette. FYI I am using a non-pressurized basket, i.e. not the one that comes with the Bambino.
The fellow single cup brewer is the one I use for my every day brew. I also have the XL and the large Glass vessel. I just find that fellows design is designed around a specific size filter. On purpose so they can go with you big dollars for future filter purchases. I found a filter for my small fellow that works fairly decent. I found it on Amazon but it comes out of China so I’m sure to rinse the paper well prior to Bring a cup. Which intern slows down the drip process. Resulting in a slightly stronger brew. I think I’m going to enlarge the holes on the bottom of the follow brewer to increase flow slightly. The reason the filters slow things down is you lose the pleats. By rinsing the filter material. It just increases the time of the pour over too much. That’s why I’m thinking larger holes would definitely help. I just refuse to pay their inflated price for paper filters they’re insane!!! Are there any other brands of filters out there they’re more affordable that fit fellow products??
According to Fellow, They recommend their own filters, but Kalita 185 and Blue Bottle filters work as well. I am possibly heading down a similar route. I am torn between buying the Hario Decanter size 03 with a Kalita 185 ceramic dripper, or the Fellow Stagg XF. If i buy the fellow, i am going to test the cheaper alternatives.
@@easytiger266 yeah, fellow recommends there filter and then gouges you for big dollars$$$!!!! I found a Chinese made filter with a little bit of a fold. It fits perfect. They’re reasonably priced, but I’m sure to rinse them since they’re from China. It does rinse the paper taste out very quickly by rinsing with hot water.
Did you ever get into de-clumping and raking to get a more evenly distributed bed?
Not yet, but I am thinking about it! I think I'm still struggling in consistency with my tamp, but I think better distribution will help too.
@@brewingjitsu Awesome, have a fun journey!
You don't need to preheat the Clever since it's plastic. That plastic just doesn't really pull temperature out of your water like metal, glass, or ceramic. I also don't bother with the lid, tbh. I've done comparative tasting between brews with and without and you really don't lose enough temperature over the course of a steep to make enough of a difference. I mention these things just to say the Clever can be that much simpler for first-time brewers.
How does one make 2 mugs (ceramic, not see-through) of coffee with a Clever dripper and minimal other stuff? All videos conveniently show one mug/cup only.
Nice job! This should be the promotion video for the Bambino Plus product 😂
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
4 lol I have like 20
What is the difference between the XF and the X maker? I looked at the Fellow site but it wasn't very clear as to which one is the best, I only need it to make one cup of coffee, but I like it strong. Thanks
The XF is bigger, usually for two cups, while the X is for one cup only.
I found your video while looking for a comparison between the Kalita and Fellow drippers. You gave great explanations and the production quality is impressive. I learned a lot!
Thank you! Hope you learned something!
Is the clever good enough to be the go-to method even for an experienced barista? Not sure if most of the time predictable and reliable methods are the top pick for people that really knows what they're doing and at the same time, would like to know if other brewers (V60) are preferred for the control they offer or by the taste of the coffee you can get from them. If you like the coffee you brew with s Melitta (I do) there's no justification to not using it on a daily basis to enjoy your cup of Joe!
I want that Phodega t-shirt 😎
How many grams of coffee did yoy use?
se v7 easily the best one
Are you using non-pressurised baskets?
Yes, the Bambino comes with a pressurized basket, but once I got the Sette, I upgraded to a non-pressurized basket.
@@brewingjitsu using izpresso k max looking for sette 270 would you switch if you were me.. bambino regular ?
@@kenroman777 the K-Max is _phenomenal_. I have yet to use a high end electric grinder that could reach the same consistency. It's a little more work, but you aren't missing out on quality in your grind. Incorporating the Sette will just save your arms a bit, imo.
Just received My Fellow XF, The Fellow Ode Grinder, and the Fellow EKG Kettle. The coffee containers and 12 & 20 oz travel mugs arrive tomorrow. All in black and very astheticlly pleasing. Been a Kalita guy for about 6 years now. Just bought a Chemex Classic Series 10 cup (wow) and that's when I saw the Fellow line of products online. It just spoke to me in so many ways. Professional looking, individual use and a comprehensive product line that compliments itself and appeals to my need for astheticlly pleasing equipment. Thanks so much for your work, your helping remove so much anxiety as I get started on what promises to be a grand journey. Best! John.
Hi John, thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the video, sounds like you have a great setup! I don’t think you’ll regret any of it, each brewing method has its own nuances that can highlight different coffees. Cheers! ☕️
Hello again! So I’ve been enjoying my journey. I did graduate to a V60 and upgraded from the Fellow Ode gen 1 grinder to the Fellow Ode Gen 2 grinder with the upgraded SSP MP burrs $$$. I still use the Fellow Stag XF with certain beans. Others, I just have to go with an ultra fine grind and use the V60. I definitely appreciate your insights on the different products. So for me, the Fellow Stag XF is kind of like your first electric guitar. It’s basic enough, yet offers one with enough complexity to learn and grow. The V60 on the other hand is more of a nylon string classical guitar. It’s significantly more complex and unforgiving, however, with it’s complexity comes enormous utility and a much broader user index. I’ve greatly enjoyed this extraordinary journey and your contributions to the pour over coffee aficionado community are most appreciated! Thank you so much for all you do! John.
hey man the quality of your b-rolls are amazing. hope your channel blows up one day (pretty sure it will).
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, I do love making B-Roll😁
I've heard that there's a very big difference between adding coffee then the water vs water then coffee. Have you ever tried it?
Sometimes the clever can clog when you go coffee first. Water first helps with this and it drains in about 45 to 60 seconds instead of 5 to 6 minutes when the clogging happens
I'd absolutely recommend water first. You get a much cleaner, sweeter result that way. It's prone to clogging and a longer drawdown time if you add coffee first, neither of which helps the flavour (unless you actually like that in which case do what you want 😂) James Hoffman advocates water first as well, and he's very rarely, if ever, wrong about these things.
What is the shock mount on the v7?? It looks cool and seems like it works well
It’s a Rockville mount with a pop filter, works quite well for lots of different mics! I did take it off the stand it comes with, but it’s probably my favorite mount. www.amazon.com/dp/B07FT3MDRK/
I recently bought a Hario Switch which follows the Clever style system but it has a glass/rubber construction, a bit more expensive but it is nicer to look at, I did a very amateur version of your experiment with a metal mesh filter and a plastic v60. The Hario Switch easily produced the best most rounded balanced tasting coffee with no effort to get that result. A clever or a switch is defintely the way to go for beginners and anyone will be able to consistently get a great cup of coffee with good FRESH beans. A Burr grinder,(Xeoleo from Amazon for £65) a Clever or a Switch, any cheap papers, a scale with timer and you can have great coffee in 5 minutes every day if you buy FRESH beans
Totally agree, it’s fascinating to me how reliable the Clever can be compared to traditional pour overs. It’s a nice balance between an Aeropress (almost too many variables to control) and a V60 (too few). I’ll have to check out the Switch!
Amazing comparison video. You show how each mic performs under a typical and normal circumstance (no sound treatment). It's perfect for someone who plan to use these mic under the same environment.
Thanks for the kind words! I am sure that at some point I’ll be investing in sound treatment, but that’s definitely months, if not years, away. I figure lots of people are in the same situation, and wanted to show what you might expect to hear! Part 2 coming soon, where I give the Deity and the AT2021 a more fair shot by positioning them properly, stay tuned!
This is excellent. I am a beginner who started with a bodum pour over, not realizing how complex that brewing method is. I've been vacillating between a Hario, Chemex, or clever dripper. You're the first reviewer i watched that mentioned Melita filters are available at a grocery store. That might seem obvious to the coffee community, but i had no idea. Definitely going with the clever for now. Maybe I'll make the jump to pour over one day. Ninja edit: i subscribed and i hope you continue to grow your channel
Glad this was helpful! I think pourover filters are becoming a lot easier to find, but I really can’t beat finding standard filters at my grocery store literally across the street. Thanks for the sub!
What is the dosing funnel you're using?
Unfortunately the Bambino uses a non-standard portafilter size of 54mm, so I bought this funnel on etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/659811812/54mm-portafilter-funnel-breville?ref=shop_home_feat_2
Okay, thanks for the link!
Hey this video is amazing you should keep posting more gear related videos. I own a zoom h5 and se v7 myself for podcast and voice but I'm planning to buy at 2020 for voice overs. I have a similar room as yours with no treatment. Do you suggest I go ahead with my purchase or just use the se v7
Thanks for the encouragement, glad you liked the video! Got another one in the edit right now, where I give the D3 and AT2021 a more fair comparison by positioning them in the same place as the AT2020, stay tuned for that comparison! I think that the AT2020 definitely has a more open sound than the v7, with crisper high end coming straight out of the mic. However, the tradeoff in echo in an untreated space is definitely something to consider, especially if you don't want to do a lot of work in post to remove the reverb. I currently use Izotope RX8 to get rid of reverb for my podcasts, and it takes a lot more attention than the sE v7 to get that out. I think that if you like the sound of the AT2020, it would probably be easier to EQ the air frequencies of the v7 than it would be to get the AT2020 and deal with the reverb. The next video also has some examples of what these mics sound like after running through RX8 and Nectar, just gotta wrangle all the audio in the timeline properly, haha!
@@brewingjitsu thanks for the elaborate reply. I already am editing the v7's audio on audition and wouldn't want to put some more work into it since I also handle my mother's cooking channel
@@knowyouryoga Yeah, I would stick with the v7 and just make a parametric EQ preset with a gentle boost to frequencies from 4k-8k. The AT2020 would probably require more work to reduce reverb, and may not be good value for what you're looking for. Here's a great primer video on EQ for dialogue: ua-cam.com/video/pjMCyLsRNig/v-deo.html
@@brewingjitsu Thanks a lot again for your honest suggestion will definitely check this video out and looking forward to more of your videos 👍🏻
Great and informative review but as others have noted, a bit abrupt on the ending. Anyway, I wanted to know if the Stagg XF Dripper can be used directly over a 12oz Fellow Carter Move Mug. I would love to skip having to do the carafe part. Thanks.
You're totally right on the end, still learning and working to improve the flow of my videos from start to finish. But to answer your question, totally, you can easily brew from the XF dripper into the Carter Move, I don't think it'll be a problem at all. Given that both the XF and the Carter are vacuum insulated, the one thing I'd say is that your coffee will stay hot (maybe even too hot) for a long time! But that might be a good thing, depending on how you drink your coffee. Mine never lasts that long ;)
@@brewingjitsu that's good to know. Thanks! And yes, I do find the Carter keeps the coffee hot and too efficient that I often have to wait as it's too hot.. BTW, your dog is super cute 😍
I really like this recommendation as a beginner friendly introduction to brewing at home. You point out advantages compared to pour over devices, but I think it also stacks up well against other immersion brewers for a beginner. I also like how it gives you versatility since you can also use it for pour overs and hybrid brewing.
Totally! I think the most common question I get from people just starting in coffee brewing at home is whether they should get a French Press. I think they make great coffee, but can be fragile/hard to clean and accumulate off-flavors in the metal parts. The Clever gets around a lot of that quite nicely.
Very nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Good comparison, detail by detail.
Thank you!
Excellent video dude! Love your video style and explanations! Subscribed!
Thank you! Appreciate you stopping by ☕️
I was thinking the same question! 😜 I’ve only been into coffee since October 2020 and I keep wanting to try other methods! Thx for the unboxing!👍
Awesome, glad it was helpful! Hope you learned something about these drippers!
Love the video man! I work for at a roastery and would for you to review our coffee some time! We are in LA!
Would love to connect and talk about your coffee! Shoot us an e-mail at brewingjitsu@gmail.com, and we can talk!
for some reason I was sorely disappointed I didn't get to watch you pour water through an empty v60
Lol I wanted to, but I can't shoot slow enough motion to make it look good...but I might be able to soon!
Sweet video! Subbied!
Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!
Excellent video. I too have always used a Kalita 185 but recently switched to a Clever. I love it. The ease of use, the ability to do other things while it's brewing, plus as you say, so very forgiving makes it a great choice. Question. When watching videos using the Clever, I have not seen anyone bloom the coffee with the Clever. Doesn't a bloom make sense even with an emersion brewer? Thanks again and keep those very informative videos coming.
Thanks for stopping by! You touched on a great point with blooming, I actually cut my discussion of that from the video for length considerations, but I personally don't think you need to bloom with the Clever. I see the purpose of blooming for percolation methods (e.g., pourover) to allow the coffee to degas, which will limit off-gassing as the brew draws down in subsequent pours. For the Clever, you can control that effectively with the amount of time you let it extract, so I think that it's not necessary. I think the Clever is actually most analogous to the AeroPress. Although some people do recommend blooming with an AeroPress, the amount of people winning Championships without a bloom suggests to me that you don't need to bloom with the Clever either.
@@brewingjitsu Makes complete sense. Thanks.
Very interesting! I'm a (ceramic) V60 user since 2017 now, just recently saw the Clever dripper for the first time on Instagram. Awesome device. The Clever has the huge advantage of taking these cheap Melitta filters, which are way cheaper than Hario VCF-01 paper.
Totally! I still use my ceramic V60 that's over a decade old, it's a champion for sure. I did find that my Hario Slim hand grinder was making it hard to get the best results, and once I started brewing V60 with my Sette or my Aerspeed, the results improved dramatically.
Great video 👍 I was just wait for any comparison to the taste or characteristics of coffee between the three types
You're totally right, I missed out on the opportunity to share that info. I think that all of the three types can produce great coffee, but here are my takeaways. The Kalita and the Fellow produce very similar coffees, which makes sense if you compare the geometry, filter paper, and hole size. Compared to the V60, these two drippers produce coffee that's has more body and intensity. I think the reason for that is twofold: they both restrict flow to a degree, and they both are going to retain heat better than my ceramic V60. All in all, I think the Kalita and Fellow will be more forgiving at coarser grind settings than the V60, but you won't be unhappy with any of them. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate you stopping by!
@@brewingjitsu Great info! Would one be more suited than another for different roast levels?
@@ThunderRunner I think that any of these could work for most coffees, but I think you will get a better control over dark roasts with something that is less restrictive, like the V60. I think you could get great results with any of them, but the V60 will require the most precise grind out of all of them, so that is something worth considering. Thanks for stopping by!!
WOW That was anticlimactic! :)
No doubt gotta work on my conclusions 😂. Next video is gonna be all conclusions in short-form, stay tuned, and thanks for stopping by!
For real - 'Final Thoughts' was 70 seconds of B-Roll, 15 seconds of actual final thoughts
Good comparison.
Thanks, appreciate you stopping by!
great comparison but i prefer kalita glass dripper as i tested in this video ua-cam.com/video/Sy87z13fLvE/v-deo.html since it has faster flowrate
Wow, great comment! Never thought to compare multiple Kalita brewers to each other.
So well done Matt!!!
Thanks Diana! Miss you both!
Yooooo!! This is so dope!!
Love your work! Been waiting to get my hands on your coffee, so excited to taste it for the first time, won’t be the last 👊🏼
