What is the glass pitcher use in this video? I'm looking for a pitcher like this or a beaker but the pitcher has a handle which I like. Do you sell them and if so where are they on your site? I looked but was not able to locate it.
I'm a big fan of the #2 cone filter...it really seems to intensify the infusion...drawing it through the narrow bottom, more so than a larger, flat-bottomed filter. I'm curious...why would someone choose to pour over manually, as opposed to allowing an automatic drip machine to do the work for them? A desire to be constantly involved in the brewing process? =o)
@paradigmshift7758 Tough call! I like the Aeropress but I am not as into the whole pour over process as some folks are. I think either will be a great choice for you, with the pour over being a little more time intensive so it will kind of be determined by how involved you want to get, personally. - Kat
@paradigmshift7758 I would add that the Aeropress uses a plunger to compress the coffee/water slurry, extracting (I'd imagine) more of the coffee's oil and flavor than a pour over...so I'd expect the flavor to be more robust from the Aeropress.
@SeattleCoffeeGear I think that different types of coffees requires different type of method and that some blends are good both in pour over and french press. Kenya and Yirgacheffe coffees are most suited to pour over as it brings out(specially in Chemex) all the brightness while a very clean coffee like guatemala is more suited to french press. But obviously it's all comes down to your own preference.
@klarinetta I do think they shine in different preps but I don't think they require one prep over the other as they taste very differently and since it's personal pref someone could love a Columbian as a drip and not an espresso and vice versa. That's part of the fun of making coffee at home, though, IMHO; pairing the coffee type with the prep is important - Kat
@SeattleCoffeeGear Totally agree but what I am saying is that people should experience different coffees in different brewing method rather than just always brew it with your favorite method.
Er.. you poured your paper flavored water back into the kettle. Part of wetting the filter first is also to wash off the paper taste and any paper particles clinging to the filter. I always do this with any paper filter 'cause I don't trust the filter manufacturers. ;)
I actually read somewhere (where I cannot recall at this moment) that the Hario brand filters are designed to not give off any flavor. Does anyone know if this is true?
Hey guys, I just want to say, you guys really inspire my life, in every one (or most every one) of your videos, you're always happy! EVERY TIME! It brings us coffee drinkers together; to be happy with one another, and to share stories of our lives whilst enjoying the things we love. You've shown me that you can truly love work, with every ounce of your heart (and tongue xD) and I just want to say that you've truly inspired me. Thank you.
@Tspdog Thank you so much Tyler! We really appreciate your feedback and that is such a great compliment. I shared it with Gail, too. :) Thanks for watching and appreciating what *we* do, too. - Kat
@Bektvel They don't seem to be available anywhere really; they just started distributing them in the US earlier this year and I know they are in Canada...perhaps they have other Asian representation outside of Japan, but I'm not sure. We currently have a lot of folks in Central & South America that are purchasing via freight forwarding so they can get their hands on 'em! :) - Kat
@warrkrymez Hmmmmm....what kind of coffee are you using? It might not be best in this prep; you could try another bean out if you really want to :) - kat
I bought my Hario V2 from Seattle Coffee Gear and have found it brews excellent coffee. Some advice: pour a lot more water through the filter, to cleanse it and warm everything; only pour an ounce or ounce and half for pre-infusion (there shouldn't be any drips); keep the brew pours in the center and make small, inch diameter circles when adding water. I have found tamping the grounds slightly, then making a divet, also keeps the pre-infusion from brewing.
@WarmProp 1)They are designed to keep the filter away from the sides; 2) Pre-infusion wets the grounds preparing them for brewing (in the video Gail poured a bit too much water, as there should not be any drips with a pre-infusion); 3) Just make sure the grind is consistent and your pour smooth.

@hixrat They do say that; the brown paper ones can give some flavor to them over the white/bleached ones. But I'm not positive. - Kat

Just thought of a follow up to this. How about a head to head comparison of the paper filter vs the cloth filter in the Hario pour over??
Of course make sure to include shots of the frog PJ's

@n8yrn Good idea! I keep trying to get the unbleached paper filters in but haven't yet; maybe when we get them in we'll do a triple comparison. - Kat

@thePowerPlant Thanks for the tips! We are obviously still practicing and getting the hang of this, but it makes a great cup :)

Ok, may I ask something?
Why are the grooves in the thingy circular?
Why not pour more water in at a time?
Is it possible to tune the grind by timing like you do with espresso?

@WarmProp 1)They are designed to keep the filter away from the sides; 2) Pre-infusion wets the grounds preparing them for brewing (in the video Gail poured a bit too much water, as there should not be any drips with a pre-infusion); 3) Just make sure the grind is consistent and your pour smooth.
