James also discovered that slowly feeding the beans to the machine, almost one by one, makes the coffee much better. It’s interesting and seems effective
I tried this, and though I only grind 18 grams for pour-over, I divided it into three random groups. I went down 10 stops finer on the grind, and it brewed a full minute faster. The only explanation is fewer fines. Coffee is also more delicious. Still thinking of upgrading to the Duo, but maybe not for a couple more weeks. Thank You 😄
I would have thought the NFC disc removes the variance in weight from heavier vs smaller doses, since the disc is supporting the weight, causing an even grind pressure. Second, I only do 15-20g batches and still dislike the amount of fines produced, would you say you've found a difference if I ground 5-7.5g at a time instead?
I grind 18 grams, and I noticed the difference. All you need to do is lift the lid and the grinder stops, pour in a few more beans, then repeat. I weigh out the beans only once in one of the fancy coffee-weighting thingies I saw on James Hoffmans channel.
Do pumping out leftover coffe from the niche could help improve pour over? I always do it, and good amount of coffe comes out and also lot of powdery dust. (0.3g)
Thank you for the new video! Just wondering how you would approach grinding for filter on the Specialita? Have you tried Single-Dosing it with the "lid" closed?
I do single dose with it sometimes; it produces fewer fines than the zero, but I am going to try the split dose idea with it for a while and see how it goes.
Why not use a Hario Switch instead, and nullify the headache of having a perfect grind every time? I find it really easy to dial in a perfect extraction, simply by immersing the grind for the correct duration, before letting it pour through.
I tried it. Immersion brewing will cause the fines to float and sink later than the coarse particles forming a thicker layer of fines on top of the coffee bed. A slight swirl during the drawdown will help
Great timing. Just got my Niche and enjoyed great espresso so far. Gonna try with the V60 next. Could you tell me your dial starting point for that, please?
Well, coffees differ a lot so YMMV. I would start testing around 30 marks coarser than the middle of your espresso range. Dial in for a 5-6 min brew. I think you'll like it.
@@wiredgourmet Thanks for the tips. Managed some fine brews. Well I don't have a trained palate but I do like the Niche for pourovers. Also my -test subjects- guests came back for more.
Are you brewing your pourover with a technique that is deisgned to leave so much coffee toward the top of the filter? Why? When I brew a cup I swirl my v60 just a little to end up with a flat bed and none of what youre showing. It’s a better cup with better extraction. So much coffee and differing heights from the bottom of the filter means your extraction is off.
Coucou mes enfants! My apologies for the double upload; the first version was a bit unclear. Thanks for stopping by!
It's like a miracle! Double upload.
the best coffee channel on youtube!!! thanks for the amazing videos
Thank you :)
Lance Hedrick did a video on this concept today, “slow feeding” the grinder

I just sift out the fines created by my Niche. It's pretty quick and easy to do. I will try this technique tho.
Missed your videos! Hope to see more from you soon.
What setting are you on in this video for pourover?

Learned something new after doing pourovers for five years, a contact time more than 4min is ok! Seriously thought anything over 3:00 minutes was bad.
Time doesn't matter, just go by taste!
agreed

how do you pump it
genius use of science
If you were to do a 60 gram dose for pour over, would you do three 20 gram doses or four 15 gram doses?
Would you say 15 grams is the sweet spot?
20 g doses have also been working for me, but different coffees behave differently. So try both and stick with the one that you prefer :)
found a way. apply tape to make the hole smaller to limit the flow. insane uniformity. will have to go at least 5 marks down

sounds like a very similar idea to James Hoffmann "Regrinding Coffee" video.
