Hello Lamppost Coffee enthusiasts! live from 5/10/21 In this video, Val will talk all about the Japanese Flash Brew method, and some examples of how to use it! She will also give a brief tutorial on how to make our signature Caspian drink, which we plan to cover more in a later video. Here are the time stamps for each topic she covers: 1:20 Introduction to Flash Brew 3:30 Making Flash brew 6:50 The Caspian When Val does the first pour into the coffee, she mentions the Bloom. This is what happens when the water hits the grounds and causes them to release carbon dioxide very quickly and creates this bubbling/blooming effect.

Everything I need is there. Top recommendations of tools & equipment: scale that weighs in grams Timer or time tracker brewer with all of it's accessories a burr grinder, if at all possible carafe to decant if you don't drink it all in the same cup! of course, your favorite mug 11:10 Clever Coffee Dripper Demonstration: Today, let's brew coffee in the Clever Coffee Dripper - Pourover style Fresh roasted coffee - Colombia Antioquia roasted on 2/27. Ratio coffee to water 1:16 ratio 24 gm coffee to 360 ml water Grind size matters - for a pourover I'll be grinding slightly finer than I would for a drip coffee Grind right before you brew Time - Everyone has an opinion and that's ok! Here we keep our pourovers to 3 1/2-4 minutes. Roastmaster 3 minute, I like 4 minute. Using the CCD as a pourover, you are controlling the time by grind. My scale has a timer however, I can use a separate time or the timer on my phone. I have a variable temperature hot water heater, but that isn't so important. You can simply boil your water on the stove top. Some pour right away and some wait for about 30 seconds off boil. Part of this will be your preference in how the final product tastes. Heat my water to 202 degrees. While it's heating, I weigh out and prep my coffee for grinding. Pre heat my Clever, mug and both kalita carafes. Rinse & dump Grind right into the filter 60 ml first pour - 30-45 second bloom & stir down. Divide the remaining water into 3-4 pours. Easy math: 3 x 100 ml pours. You can purchase coffee online at www.lamppostcoffee.com and the CCD too! We ship in the US only. Up to 4 pounds of coffee in a box Clean up...
