Chris's Diverse Coffee Morning
- Chris O'Brien shared his morning coffee routine, drinking several different coffees, including a decaf from Colombia and espresso from Mexico Puebla.
- He tested different brewing methods including a home portable espresso maker, demonstrating varied coffee experiences in one day.
V60 Design Drives Flavor Control
- The V60 relies on coffee grounds to restrict water flow through its large bottom hole, emphasizing grind quality.
- Its spiraled ridges prevent filter paper sticking, ensuring even water flow and balanced extraction.
Rinse V60 Filters to Improve Taste
- Rinse V60 paper filters with hot water to reduce paper taste and preheat the brewer.
- Prefer filters made in Japan without tabs, as non-Japanese filters often have thicker fibers causing more paper taste.
