Sweet. I hadn't seen this episode of Portlandia before. Must be a deep cut.
😂😂
😂
I was a Barista about 37 years ago. I learned all this and it really brought my coffee enjoyment and consistency to a much higher level. What I have found surprising is the average person's resistance to these principles. Some say it's all garbage, with great authority, having never tried any aspect of grind size, weight, temperature, etc. Don't knock it until you've tried it!
I got one of these things as a temporary choice after I moved to another house, never went back to a machine lol. You get so much more flavour this way.
Ditto. I grew up working in coffee shops, but it was before third-wave coffee. A few years ago, I got into alternative brew methods and started spending more time with the preparation. The coffee we make at home is now light years better than what I used to serve.
It's fine if people aren't into it, but it's a shame to knock it on principle alone.
I still like to play around with different brewers. Last pourover I bought was the Kalita Wave. I have the 1 to 2 cup version. Filters are pricey, but the resulting brew is worth it, to me. Seems to get more florals. Just something different. I do a press method where you pour the water in very slowly, almost like a pourover. Then i don't "break the crust" or stir. Just letting it steep for 3-4 min. Then i scoop out the grounds and press. Less bitterness from those beans I sometimes buy that wound up being a "mistake".
Yes, it was pretty eye opening to me. I have 3 or so presses, cause I gotta have a back-up! hahaha!
Im a Barista, you know what? Best choice of my life ♥
All these stumptown videos are super over the top hipster and I think they know it and are doing it for fun. I hope. Either way, I'm insanely jealous of that wizard mural on the espresso machine.
I barely make French press coffee, but when I do I always come back to this video. So informative, relaxing and very well produced!
How you guys managed to take something so mundane as to pressing coffee into fun grooving is amazing. Thanks. Still smiling.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
the intro made me overdose with hipster
woww all this hipster talk when it comes to present coffee with a style. I think it's very cool to mix great coffee with your lifestyle. Love it :)
lmao that comment had me cracking up
but are you wearing plaid?
Heavy metal biker is NOT hipster
and then the music.....I think I threw up in my mouth
Thanks for the video, but when I started listening to the music I ended up grabbing a beer and left the coffee.
Oh maaaan🤣
alawabidingcitizen you 😂😂😂
Microbrew of course
This tutorial was so adorable & silly, if I'm ever in Oregon I'll have to stop by =]
This video is the epitome of “chill”
Matt Stumptown has a gift that needs to be heard by the right people. He’s got a tone that could make millions!! Take Johnny Cash for example. Call me crazy but his tone is very relatable!!
Life goals: Ride my bike INTO my office~
~then become an hero
i think you meant in front of a city bus wierd how you can confuse the two
nilwar htims City bus? She rode it into the coffee shop when the video begins.
Michael Misanthropic you have no clue what i am talking about leave the comments to the adults
Great video, great tunes, just made my first brew in my new french press. You guys rock thanks!
My first cup came out great. First time. Thank you for being amazing!
Decent! I use one pretty much every day and needed these tips. Also coffee girl was adorable.
"Good luck, you're gonna need it out there." *bombs and artillery go off in the distance* "I JUST WANTED SOME COFFEE!!!!"
Liberal Democrats have turned that state into a shit hole. Top ten worst cities in America are all run by Democrats.
3:40 lol
hahahaha
was that supposed to be part of the video?
I read about your company in an article. And although I have a customer relationship with a great roaster. I may try a bag of yours here and there to add some variety.
This was a great video and we make French press a few times a week when we have more time. It truly is the best method in my opinion. And this video was spot on and informative. Nothing like French press.
Coffee is addictive beyond its taste. I went to Florida to taste cafe Cubano, bought the french press from Kuala Lumpur, and ask our colleagues in Ethiopia to bring me beans, oftentimes. Now when I drink a cuppa, I smile and my wife thinks, the coffee must be good!
Awesome video, thanks. Just ordered French press yesterday, I’m so excited !
How do you like it? Still in use?
Nadine S. ：yea I still use it, so far so good !
@@one-wingedangel6180 Still using it?
thank you for the awesome video and instructions
It’s so weird that all these sarcastic ass hateful comments...like y’all had to search for this? Anyway, I just got a French press for Christmas so I appreciate this soooo much
Really liked this presentation, both coffee making and singing. Going to look this place up.
What an awesome video on so many levels!!
Best coffee video I have ever seen
thanx. just like comedy and baking, timing is everything!!!!
Puxa, que vídeo legal, muito agradável, como um bom café! Nunca bebi um café de french press, mas ainda comprarei esse equipamento.
Bravo to the musician artist! Yeey!
Great instructional video:))) Thank you and the guitarist sounds pretty good:))
Hey: unpretentious coffee maker here. Needed a quick guide to eyeball stumptown hairbender. This video did the trick! Thanks for the resource.
This makes me miss living in Portland.
"As coarse as breadcrumbs" is pretty imprecise considering that breadcrumbs are only as coarse or fine as you make them. Why not just say medium? Some approximate ratios would have been helpful too, since not everyone will be using the same size press.
she is so stupid she thinks "bread crumbs" are a copyright trademark invention that only comes in the container labelled "bread crumbs". you will never convince her that bread crumbs are just crumbled up bread... were that the case it would be called crumbled up bread...
@@voidremoved rude dude!
Just say kosher salt
nah not medium. you want to use a really coarse grind.
Plus when she showed and picked some up the shot was so wide we still have no idea what size her breadcrumbs are.
I really like your video guys, most from what I have seen :)
The girl on the window lol
Holy production value!
Sooooo relaxing
Thanks to you, I ditched my coffee machine:)) M
Hey Matt! Nice song:)
Thank you!
I was just looking into the french press method of coffee making and came across your video I really enjoyed your video very much. Can anyone tell me if the French press method taste any better than the other methods?
Like any brew, if prepared properly French Press coffee tastes great. The main difference from drip or pour over is that you will usually find a little grit in the bottom of your cup.
This one is even better!!!
Great voice there Matt & great coffee.
Thanks!
I don't know where you guys are but I love the shop.
Michael 732 See See Coffee is in Portland Oregon
She came in. In style. Liked it.
It’s such a nice, laid back video. The music is so comforting. I don’t understand why so much flak in the comments section. 😕
People can't google extra info they need. Most french presses come with a manual that specifies the size and water ratio. Also again...google - and they say millennials need everything handed to them..
Because it’s douchey hipster bullshit
cool video!
Thx that cool.
Very cool place
It was a nice video.
I like this one
This isn’t just coffee. This is a lifestyle.
If it's such a "super important" to warm up the french press, then warm up the mug too.
It is important to brew the coffee, hotter water in french press better result will be, same is true for tea and etc.
I don't understand your logic, warming up the french press has an impact on your brewing, warming up your cup does not.
The helmets on the wall.... just plain awesome. Good going on that.
omg you guys are awesome! I just got a french press and can't wait to try it out! :D
xoxo
Gabby
Cool video
3:42 girl is a legend
And, big thanks to Matt!! :)
5:05 after all this you SLAM the coffee at the bottom that way, needs more finesse !
Also I believe that your coffee is grinded way too coarse if there is no resistance at all when you push it down... there should be a little in my opinion, and this difference of pressure would prevent you from pushing it down so fast.
Does that four minutes include the original one minute when the water was just halfway?
What is the temperature of the water? 2 minutes after boiling. Is that about the time you pour it?
This video is adorable.
Hipster™ is not for everyone. Please consult your doctor if you experience any of the following as they are potential side effects: going to IKEA on Saturdays for people watching in the cafe, wearing skinny jeans, wearing vintage or simply oversized eyeglasses even though you have 20/20 vision, professing your undying love for Taylor Swift and/or Zooey Deschanel, appearing to be sad and bored at least 92% of the time, dressing like your grandma's grandma, dressing like your grandpa's grandpa, sporting an epic beard and Superman haircut, being the only one who has ever discovered ramen. While taking Hipster™, some dudes experience low testosterone levels, while the ladies collect cats.
awesome comment dude ;-)
HA!
Edgelord™ is not for everyone. Please consult your doctor if your experience any of the following as they are potential side affects: going to UA-cam to criticise a stereotype, constantly criticising people's lifestyles in order to prove how cool you are, watching hours upon hours of 'feminist rekt' videos on the internet, and actually being sad and bored at least 92% of the time. While taking Edgelord™ some dudes experience lifelong virginity, while the ladies don't experience anything because this group consists almost entirely of teenage boys.
Lol kinda like the saying, sir your skinny Jean's, invalidate your man beard.
Manlets.
Nice camera work. Randomly came across this.
Don’t forget your pic for shredding later 🤣🤣🤣
Wouldn't you use the scale to measure the amount of water you have to get the ratio right? Instead of just "fill it to the top where the metal meets the glass"
kevindrone they've probably done it exactly this way for so long and know that the right amount is to that point..
But this is a "how to" video...for people that haven't been doing this for so long that they know that the right amount is to that point. Also, every 8 oz. french press isn't created equally; that point could vary on any brand/model french press.
It's really better if they had extra more informations. But since it was shown 8 cups french press, and adding 50ish grams coffee, the ration would be 1:20.
Whose song is this? I love it.
The song is nice!
If all things are equal (grind size, amount of coffee/water, temperature of water, brew time) except instead of brewing in French press --brewing is done in a mug/pot and subsequently strained through a tea strainer---will there be any difference in resulted coffee?
+Jitender Madan you might get more sludge than you would in a french press and i'm assuming the tea strainer mesh would be as fine as the french press
Some of you in these comments need to calm down. Go google coffee to water ratios and stop being grumpy. Some of yall need your morning joe it seems.
the bad comments prove how 'unsophisticated ' Americans are better for them to stick with 'instant'
josef-olivia Transit not really, considering i take great care to make quality coffee from good beans in two differing methods.
This video is just shit.
Hey Olivia - I don’t shit on your country- no need to shit on mine. Fkn Troll
I'd say lazy before unsophisticated - an American that enjoy actual coffee. This video was fine - some people do all this unnecessary shit to their coffee like different mugs for different types. Just brew, drink and shut up lol!
This is like watching makeup tutorials. That's nice... Oh that's how you do it... Lovely... No way am I going to do all that or spend my money on that, my old way is good enough :D
Nice Larrivee.
What’s the temp of the hot water ? Boiling hot water, 100c?
I like the smell of gasoline engine exhaust with my coffee
If I am using a metal french press, am I doing anything to the taste of the coffee vs glass?
+arun120977
No.
Excellent tutorial. Informative and fun to watch.
nice
Yet another French press video that fails to specify the coffee-to-water ratio so we can adjust for different sizes.
It's ~1tbsp per cup of coffee: 0:33 - 8 cup french press; 1:10 - 56g/8tbsp coffee.
Water grams divided by 12-16 for coffee grams.
Its tipically 1 gram for every 16 mililiters of water. I don't Live in the US so do the math
Trial and error. If 2 table spoons isn't strong enough ad 4 and then 5 and 6. Not that hard.
23g coffee to 300g water
Love this video..and the song ..GREAT JOB ON BOTH
So how much water did you use?
Will any sweet tunes do?
Don't discard the warming water - it's like liquid gold!!!!!
Save it in a jug for later: for drinking, watering plants, washing dishes and so many other things.
Hey great video -- two questions : what temp should the water be and how much water was that total for the 56g of beans?
+Steven McDowall according to the video the water is 205ºF and it's an 8cup french press.
Thanks Tom!
Nice job and thank you that was pleasant.....I do pour all the coffee into an antique coffee service so that my second cup is the same as my first (same brewing time since nothing was left in the grounds)
lol i have the same french press and i also drink the whole thing... is it bad that i drink 8 cups of coffee for breakfast????
Can I first pour the hot water into the jar and only then add the coffee?
yes you can but you have to stir more. when the coffee is in first the water pouring in mixes it around in the glass.
Sure, go ahead. It’s your coffee!
Love french press and use almost same method. It's just that I live where water needs to be conserved. How about putting the water used to heat the press in a bucket to cool then water plants. Just dumping it helps no one.
Or, why not use the hot water for the coffee?
1:50 "Fill it up halfway (with water)" except, don't french presses come in different sizes? Halfway is a relative amount. At the end, shouldn't the extra coffee be poured in a separate container otherwise it will continue brewing?
+Levi Ackerman 0:33 It clearly states she is using an 8 cup french press. Need me to do the math for you?
read the fucking directions when you buy one fuck pretty simple
I love the singer
Small reminder at 4:32 in case you forgot
I think I'll just have tea.
Hello Malarie, Great Video,
