  • The darker the roast, the lighter a bean should be. You could count a number of beans you have your numbers right and get decent results with, weigh them, and thus compare their roast to that of other beans. That way you‘d be able to find out if your achieved ratios are tied to the roast. Maybe you could even work out a scale telling you what to expect, a ballpark to get your ratio somewhat right when opening a new bag of beans.

    That said, I’m only citing theory here, don’t take what I say as the last word on anything :)

    That sounds conclusive, too. After giving it some more thought, I believe larger parts might slip through that aren’t round but, like, cylindrical. No idea though if this does anything significant to the taste. Like always in science: Further research is required!




  • I read your other comment and even replied to it IIRC, thanks for tuning in on the other discussion as well!

    Doing some sort of immersion sounds reasonable when I can’t do cold brew. I also like the idea of implementing some advanced self filtering with a kitchen sieve, where I could easily just sieve the coffee again through the same grounds and probably catch most of the sediment that way.

    Interesting. That goes against what Lance says in the video, but doesn’t sound implausible. Though I wonder how you can grind any larger than the setting of your grinder. Also, to my understanding, with slow feeding you only produce less of those finer grinds that come from mushing the beans together when grinding the whole dose at once. As I don’t have a particle size analyser at home, I’m only guessing here, though. 😄




  • That’s just the sort of gadget I’m very likely to buy, please don’t point me to that kind of stuff! 😄

    I might implement a routine though where I always have some cold brew concentrate available in the fridge in case I need coffee and can’t put in the time & effort of a pour over etc, so good suggestion!
