Pourover

Generally speaking, I thougt going finer was better, but aparently that actually isn't always the case. For light roast, this may be a good idea, but for darker roasts, it's often good/ok to go coarser.

I tried it out, and was pleasantly surprised by how much less bitter the Nepalese Manjari coffee was. Rather than 24clicks, I tried 30. I would maybe try 28 next time, for a little more intensity and longer drawdown, but it was very nice.

This majorly depends on the brew technique used though.

Roast Level Coffee Technique Amount Grind Size Notes
medium-dark manjari 4-6 15g / 250g 27 clicks Great
medium-dark manjari 4-6 22.5g / 375g 29-30 clicks Great
medium-light? Uganda 4-6 15g / 250g 30 clicks seems ok, try coarser

Iced coffee:

  • brew directly onto ice
  • 3/2 strength
  • a little coarser to avoid choking and over extracting the coffee

For ~1L of iced coffee:

  • 500ml coffee
  • 450ml oat milk
  • ice
  • 50 maple syrup to taste
