Cupping, Steep Time, Brew Strength, Roast Levels

Very interesting. The very last comment makes me think of the consequences of various brew methods vs., say, acidity. French press vs. aeropress. The latter should give a more acidic cup because of the brew method in itself, right?

I actually found this video to be very informative and insightful for tailoring my home brewing methods. I recently switched to pour over using a Hario v60 cone, and their hand burr mills, when previously I was brewing with a French press. At work as a barista, I'm obviously making adjustments to the grind and thinking about length of time for extraction for espresso, but I hadn't considered changing brew time (based on grind size for pourover) and how that might affect the different beans. thnx

Wow you are one in-depth coffee drinker.

Good video, I did not know all this stuff before, thank you.

re: hideous video. . . maybe not the best production value, but a great addition to the collective coffee database.

pro and home baristas have recognized the importance of variables (grind setting, brew time, etc.) with espresso and clover, but a great point is made in expanding this to other brewing methods like press. kudos also for backing this up with SCIENCE. : D

very cool. i always found that light roasts seemed to be a bit more watery than coffees with a darker roast
