    Appreciate the video. I confess, I don't measure, well, anything, when I make coffee using the pour over method, because I like a bit of randomness, in my day to day experience. There really is no single best way to make coffee, there is only a bell curve on which you can track what most people seem to prefer most of the time, assuming that they have had broad enough experience to know what they are missing. What you have presented is a great start for people, but no one should think that because they don't want to fiddle with weighing water and coffee out to the gram, that they can't make really good coffee.

      I have found not going as crazy with that understanding ratios and using tablespoons has been much easier in my brain than adding a scale to the mix.

    Hi Charlie. Great video. You mentioned that you got your handheld grinder for $180. That's exactly how much I spent on my KitchenAid electric burr grinder, and it's one of the best products I've ever purchased. It's very quiet, does not take up much counter space, looks sleek, and has many settings that you can change. You can tell it's a quality piece of product, and I have had the same one with zero issues for almost two years now. Just thought I'd throw that out there!

    Sooo, if you don't own a French press and want to make cold brew, can you simply soak the grinds in a suitable decanter, then pour it through the filter into your cup? You're already using the press as a filter and not a press so why not? Heard it here first!

    Why do you filter when doing cold brew with the french press and not when doing hot brew ?

    Can I use this pour over technique to make a milky coffee. So basically use drip coffee and then add milk to it. As you can tell I am a coffee moron and like a flat white/ cappuccino and want to make a nice cup without the need of a machine.

    Why double-filter cold brew? Doesn't the French Press filter cold brew the same as it does hot??

    • @LuxuriaU
      @LuxuriaU 3 місяці тому +1

      A french press does not actually completely filter everything. Your coffee will maintain a few small particles of grounds, which add a lot to the french press mouthfeel that people expect. The method he used, Hoffmann's method, is meant to further reduce the amount of silt, but you're still going to get a bit. I don't know his reasons, but I find I notice it a lot more in the settled cold brew if I do not double strain.

    I love my Folgers! But if there is cheaper coffee at the grocery store I will happily buy and drink it. I’ve had many fancy coffees all around the world, but at the end of the day I simply don’t need anything fancy. Plus I’m on a budget!

    • @CharlieAndersonCooking
      @CharlieAndersonCooking  2 роки тому +7

      Yeah, definitely the biggest disadvantage of freshly-roasted beans is the cost. I actually saw a recent James Hoffman video where he compared common grocery store coffee brands, so that may be of interest to you if you're in the US: ua-cam.com/video/pfqvTCgglYA/v-deo.html. But if you've had lots of different coffees and still prefer Folgers, then there's nothing wrong that!

      @@CharlieAndersonCooking I was surprised to see Tim Hortons near the top of his list as I have never thought their coffe shop coffee was anything special. I am going to try that out. The bags of coffee are a bit more expensive than Folgers in the grocery store but still relatively cheap and widely available where I live (Canada).

    I buy 3-4 month old coffee from HomeGoods and TJ Maxx (whole beans)
    I just don't like the idea of paying $15 for 340 grams
    I very much like the idea of paying $15 for 1,000 grams.
    And for premium coffee brands.
    Mostly imported.
    Im just getting into coffee and want to try lots of new things... Without paying the prices of a car payment.
    I grind before each cup.
