Haven't seen anyone of outside of Japan review this elegant beast of a connected pour over brewer (with, by the way, a built in TDS meter!!) so... we're reviewing it on CoffeeGeek. The Melitta Senz V Connected Pour Over Brewer. Some things to love, some things to be very frustrated about. Coming in early January on CoffeeGeek.
Hario (I wish they were in the #fediverse) posted a very interesting video today showing a cut-out V60 and how agitation vs no agitation works in their brewer.
If you like #pourover, and like #history, and especially like #coffeehistory (who doesn't, amirite?) then the article we published this AM, a featured opinion article, is right up your alley.
Pour Over Coffee: Its History and Development. A Feature.
I'm trying to find reasons to recommend the Turin #SD40 (in white) over the Turin #SK40 (black droid looking grinder on the left). Both are similarly priced.
There aren't many: the SD40 is slightly smaller. It is easier to adjust from #espresso to #pourover grinds. That's about it.
Do you enjoy pour over coffee, but are looking for a way to "up" your game in that department, or get even better results? Well if you're willing to also put in the extra cleaning work cloth requires, Using a cloth-based pour over system might be the way to go for you.
Check out CoffeeGeek's full How to on Cloth Pour Over systems.
A post this morning on a very intriguing and feature-rich pour over system from Melitta that gets almost no mention at all in the usual influencer circles, for reasons you might not expect.
One of the more important articles I've written on CoffeeGeek in some time. It's all about getting the best possible cup of pour over, siphon, press pot and AeroPress coffee, but without the need for an expensive (or even inexpensive) scale.
Perfect Daily Grind (a web content producer I really tried to get and join the #fediverse, but so far, they haven't done so) has a really good guide on the Origami filter holder brewer online today. Interviews with former brewing champs, lots of info on filter papers, and more.
(ps, consider contacting PDG and tell them to join the fediverse).
One of the most important articles I've written on CoffeeGeek in some time.
The One to Fourteen. It's all about coffee ratios and how to get the best cup of non-espresso brewed coffee... even if you don't own a scale. Read, share, comment, enjoy!
We had two major #coffee#pourover articles posted today on CoffeeGeek. The second is an updated version of our popular Hario V60 How To guide. We added some history about Hario to the article, after the step by step.
Fresh, and updated on CoffeeGeek today: Our comprehensive visual step by step guide to using a Hario V60 coffee brewing system! We've added some history and background to the brewer in this guide.
New up on CoffeeGeek: our quick take and look at the new Able Brewing Black Titanium KONE filter. Great for that complete cup of coffee, and perfect for those who don't like the "metallic" taste some steel filters impart to the cup.
Our full and detailed How To on using a Cloth Filter Pour Over Device. If you want a cup of pour over that completely obliterates paper filter pour over, this is how you do it. Just be ready to clean that cloth!
One of the things on my very long to-do list (well over 18 months now) is to get the Hario Mugen / Switch Hack How To up on CoffeeGeek. Inspired by Lance Hedricks' "Percolative Immersion" YT video from 3 years ago, it has long become one of my favourite ways to do pour over.
Finally did the principle photography today for it. The How To is all written up. With luck, should be on CoffeeGeek.com tomorrow.
I wonder if everyone out there knows just how small the Kalita Wave 155 glass brewer is.
I thought it was much bigger before buying one a few years ago.
Look at it side by side with the small Origami Flower brewer, intended for the same filter. Or the V60 No.2 brewer. It's tiny! And surely a pretty big difference in brew profile. (IMO, the Origami gives the better extraction: less bypass).

Fresh up on CoffeeGeek today: an interesting hack that turns Hario's immersion brewer and Hario's No-Bypass brewer into a mega no bypass, immersion brewer (and gives you a second brewer to fool around with) for just $40.
And the new mega brewer has tons of opportunity for experimentation!
All right, fediverse folks. I can't hold this one in any longer. Coming tomorrow to the front page of CoffeeGeek.com, our first take on Hario's latest brewer: the Hario Suiren! It's so new, it's not even for sale yet in North America. We got three variants in, direct from Japan. Tomorrow, you'll find out more about this brewer. But for now, some photos!
