Currently with a Clever Dripper. 15:1 ratio. Ground fine to medium with a Helor 101. Have water boiling in electric kettle and a gooseneck kettle on a hot plate. Grind 25 grams of beans.
Rinse the filter. Put Clever on the scale. Pour 200 grams of boiling water. from electric kettle. Add grounds. Pour from gooseneck until the scale reads 400 grams. Let steep for 5 minutes. Place on mug to drain. Done.
Pouring from the gooseneck after adding the grinds allows the grinds to fully mix within the slurry.
I do a 1:16.667 ratio of coffee to water. That would be 30g coffee in 500g water. Pre rinse the filter. Then I add enough boiling water to bloom the coffee. After about a minute I start adding more water. Just enough to keep the grounds below liquid level. I swirl clockwise and then counter clockwise after each pour.
That’s it. Keep pouring until target amount of water is reached.
Nothing fancy for me, close to the James Hoffman V60 single cup recipe. First I rinse my V60 filter. I grind 18g of medium roast at setting 26 with the Flair Royal. Then I add 50g of water at 97 C to bloom for 45s. After, I add 50g of water every 10s until I hit about 320g total. I stir with a spoon and wait for the brew to finish.
Do you like the flair royal? I have a Jz1presso grinder that doesn’t do espresso so I’ve been thinking of upgrading to an espresso level one like the royal
I really like the quality I’m getting for the price, but I’m really not a fan of the retention mechanism for the cup. I had it fall a few times, you have to be really careful not to touch anything when you’re grinding, including yourself. I just bought it and it’s my first manual grinder so I’m sure I’ll get used to it at some point.
