Peter - Los Angeles | Home Coffee Brewing with April #28

- This week, we’re bringing you the latest video from a series that we call Home Coffee Brewing with April. This time around, we’re joining Peter in his Los Angeles home to brew a light-roasted Sidra together.
We believe that innovation in coffee brewing starts at home, and that some of the most special and meaningful interactions with coffee can take place within your own kitchen.
As we are frequently travelling visiting our international partners, we decided to introduce this format as a way to interact with you on a different level whilst maintaining the frequency of our videos.
In this video, Peter brews an Ecuadorian Sidra roasted by Sey Coffee, using an April Plastic Dripper. Peter shares several innovative choices, such as a long resting time, a brew defined by approximate beverage weight rather than brew water and the use of an aeration tool.
Thanks to Peter for sharing his brewing approach and explaining his methodology, and we look forward to following up this video with an insight into Peters approach to espresso brewing shortly.

This 33 min video with Patrik & Peter was just a good healing session for me! Thank You for your effort sharing us worldwide. (From ROK)
Thank you for watching. Where in the world are you based?
I'm at Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷
@@youngjunkim7 we are coming to Seoul to film end of May. Perhaps you are interested in being a part of the video series?
@@coffeewithapril Sounds so good 😊😊😊 It would be a honor to be one of the part of April's Videos ❤❤❤
Just one in mind... I don't have super pretty settings or high-end equipments... I'm just enjoying it at home with basic equipments, is that okay?
@@youngjunkim7 that is okay. We are always glad to share a wide range of perspectives and approaches.
That's what I say. The visual aspect of your brew bar is as important as anything else. You need to enjoy what you are looking at, because it's always sitting on your counter, it's like a piece of art.
Great video, I'm still loving the series.
Thank you for watching. Would you say that the same is true for coffee shops? Design over quality of beverage?
@coffeewithapril Notice I said "just as important as anything else", not MORE important. In the case of a coffee shop, EVEN MORE SO!! Most of your customers will not recognize GREAT coffee when they taste it. You gotta have great service, a clean beautiful space, and a good product, because it can't be bad coffee.
@@OmnielCapote noted, and thank you for sharing.
agreed, I have a brew "shelf"coz I only have 4 total pieces, but I still spent a few minutes arranging them in a pleasing way 😂
@@varieedeventualii Exactly. You have to look at it all the time, even when you are not making coffee, it will always be sitting there. It only make since that it is pleasing to the eyes. 🤩
These videos are packed with so much useful information. Thoroughly enjoy them. 😊
Thank you for watching. What would you like to see next?
@@coffeewithapril It would be really cool to see you team up with James Hoffmann for a brewing video. Thanks
@@wlmontag, ah yes. I shoot him a message and ask.
Such an interesting and quirky episode! I love his philisophy of wanting to taste and enjoy coffee rather than just drinking it as a beverage. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you for watching. Absolutely, Peter is very focused on the sensory aspect of it. And a lot of the inspiration comes from drinking other beverages such as wine and whiskey. How are you drinking your coffee?
I recently got to taste and buy some coffee at April during my trip to Copenhagen and it somewhat reignited my passion with the hobby. I hope to find you here in Germany someday.
That's great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to visit our stores. Where do you drink your coffee in Germany?
Man I love this space.
Thank you for watching.
Packaging properly is a job of the original sender but I can’t tell you how many times things have been ruined in transit no matter how much packaging is involved there will always be something ruined 😂
True that. But there is always room to improve. And we have put a lot of effort into making it "less likely to break in transit."
Peter is also currently enjoying his new April Ceramic Brewer which we sent after this episode was recorded.
What brewer are you using at home?
@@coffeewithapril pink plastic brewer I bought from kumquat!
Thanks for the video! Any chance we can get some more information on the new brewer mentioned at 5:18? Maybe an idea of the timeline? Looking into getting a flatbed brewer to complement my V60 and I'm curious!
Thank you for watching. The new brewer will be presented on stage in the World Brewers Cup in Chicago next month.
@@coffeewithapril Awesome, I'll make sure to check it out!
Peter!!!! ❤
That's right! Thank you for watching.
I've got a question: I'm using the April brewer and am a big fan, but I never tried April coffee. We'll be in Copenhagen next month and I was wondering if April is a good example for lightly roasted Scandinavian style coffee, and if there are other cafes one can recommend in Copenhagen to get the proper light roast experience.
Thanks
Welcome to Copenhagen, we are looking forward to hosting you in one of our stores. In Copenhagen you can also visit Coffee Collective, La Cabra and Prolog.
😊
Very interesting. I recently got into home brewing and got my April brewer about 6 months ago. I've learned alot watching your videos..thanks ! I do have a question. Seems like a long time passed between when the coffee was brewed and then consumed. Wasn't the coffee cold by the time you tasted it ?
Thank you for watching and asking. In this video? We reckon the temperature when drinking was around 55'C - which we often recommend.
Patrick often: “it shouldn’t be too much complicated”
Peter: “LOL”
Thank you for watching. How are you brewing coffee at home?
I also tried putting the lid on for a while, but too much hassle in the end ;) Dude has a serious setup. Wish i had so much space for my stuff.
Thank you for watching Peter. It's a great setup. What would you choose to bring in if space wasn't an issue?
Which brand are those nice sweatshirts and jeans you're wearing?
Thank you for watching.The sweatshirt is from us here at April and part of our April Utility Clothing project. The jeans are from Buaisou in Tokushima, Japan.
Another great video. Lots of fun, but i do think it's unnecessary to use two kettles especially if the first one is set to a lower temp. It doesnt take a kettle more than 45 seconds to raise two degrees celsius
One thing that could be interesting is to use two different kettles. I for example use Fellow and Bonavita, to add two different flowrates.
@@coffeewithapril yes, that would make sense to me. But in this case it seemed like it was just for the temp. Regardless, I'm sure the cup was delightful
Almost identical to my home routine but I also design my water specifically for each new roast. I feel the Aerator does a great job cooling the coffee thus equals more mouth feels but you will get pretty much identical mouth feel if you also just let the cup cool and sometimes better. One factor that most people don't consider is it's not just about getting a brew down to a certain temperature but a longer "time" causes different chemical reactions within coffee so it can be the same temp a one using the aerator but more complex . Very cool see other people get so geeky about flavour 😊.
Thank you for sharing Luke. Do you want to give an idea on your thoughts on water-styles for different coffees?
@@coffeewithapril whoaaa , spent 10 years trying to figure that out 😊. The very basic is for special processing coffee like naturals I use more MgC1, CaC1 & KHC03, for washed use the previous plus MgS04 & NaC03 all in different ratios to bring out the best in the coffee. Then the concentration is scaled up or down until each new coffee is dialed in. It helps to buy or roast a couple Kg of the coffee. But the longer I mess with this the easier it gets to dial in a coffee 😊👍.
@@lukesp5721 thank you for sharing
@@coffeewithapril coffees all about sharing 😊
@@lukesp5721 true that.
Thank you!! Very good video!
Thank you for watching. What is your favourite part?
When making coffee at home, it's a good idea to give you the tips you need.
and..
It's good to know how to brew coffee from different people, and you can listen to Patrick's advice on how to do it.
@@쓰동이-t4t, thank you for sharing.
