How are you brewing? (self.coffee)

I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!

There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What's your brew method of the day/week?

I’ve recently been using a Timemore B75 dripper with Kalita 185 filters. I use Lance Hedrick’s Ultimate Pourover Recipe with good results so far on a 21:350 brew ratio. As for beans, I have a Guatemalan open right now that I’m grinding at around a 3.0 on a Fellow Ode with 2.0 burrs.

With the B75, I’m able to grind a bit finer than the recipe suggests and still get a fast drawdown.

Have you tried larger batches? I'm a big fan of Hedrick's recipe but found it tricky especially on the Orea when doing 500mL

I haven’t tried anything larger yet, but I can definitely see how a 500ml batch would be pretty tight in a brewer this size. I even had a little trouble with the stock papers at 350ml, but that’s because they sit slightly below the rim of the brewer, where the 185s don’t. I’ll have to try a 500ml brew and see how it goes.
