Manual Brew Coffee: Making a Hario Woodneck Brew - Cloth Filter 1-cup Continuous Pour Over

2 minute brew plus pre-infusion, 18 gram dose, 90.5c water tempurature. Produces 5.5~6 ounces. Keeping an even small stream of water is very important for this short continuous pour.

Hmm. 18g - a lot of coffee. I should really vary my dosage as I'm a stickler for 14g, I'm sure that not varying it is even worse than being a stickler.

How do you deal with channeling? It happens a lot in the woodneck. That finger thing, making a hole? Do you find that reduces channeling or is that for a different reason?

Thanks!

@hazymat The woodneck is harder to do a proper pour over with when compared to other methods, yes.  The hole I make helps with the pre-infusion / bloom stage, where I only pour enough water to saturate the grinds and let it sit. This allows the gases to release, and during the bloom effect you can see the coffee grinds expanding. If this expansion happens during the pour, it can cause a lot of channeling.

mmm : ) I'm drinking one of these right now! Have you ever used cloth filters in a commercial setting? I have recently been toying with the idea of brewed to order speciality coffee as a premium product, but seems impractical - especially due to cleaning and turnaround time?

@onefatpothead As of the making of this video, it was pretty unheard of. Nowadays though, you can find it in certain places and sometimes just by request. I'd like to say I played a hand in that happening.

What is he difference in taste in pour over from using Hario Cloth filter,Hario paper filter,regular paper filter or Chemex paper filter ?

[ChristopherVanS]

@klarinetta Sorry I seem to have missed this question. Hario cloth is going to give depth filtration ( in the particulates of coffee grinds ) and allow the oils of the coffee to pass through into the cup. You can see a small layer of oils floating on top of the brew sometimes. This gives the brewed coffee a better texture, and more clarity. Paper filters absorb the oils and do not allow them to pass through. Chemex paper filters are too thick and impart a paper flavor.

@ChristopherVanS Thanks :D

@desertkoi Haha, who're you? I only remember specifically three people I didn't personally know taking video of me doing a syphon.

This is hilarious. I took a vid of him making a siphon pot for me over a year ago which I refer to fairly regularly.

I suspected when I looked up "hario pour over cloth" on youtube he might show up again.

Bump! Also interested in finding out about the different filters.
