So far I’ve only gone as low as 88C on the second pour with a bloom and 2 pulses. Do you get vegetal notes at 80C?

@@SimonAndrewCoffee 99 times out of 100 we drink light roasted coffee so haven't been doing so many dark batches. The last time we made a batch was with a stale dark roast and we got some rubbery notes in the after taste... Can't remember I got vegetal notes earlier on but I will keep that in mind and report back :)

I would go for the upgrade since I prefer more acidity and clarity in my pourover. The ability to brew for espresso is another bonus over the ode 2. I also find the casa to be cleaner and easier to dial in. Sometimes the acidity can be a bit too much, but it’s easy to fix with tweaks to the brew method or parameters.

“Hi I’m not sure about the requirements for small businesses, but as a home user, consistency is great once dialed in for your coffee. That said, there’s no low water level warning and i’ve had a few brews get stuck after blooming, wasting my coffee. Maybe wait for v2? with fixes and upgrades, it could be a better option.

Nice! I haven’t tried steeping the whole brew since I’ve been enjoying brighter acidity lately. Will definitely give it a shot with other coffee types. Enjoy your new Casa!

I’ve been trying a new Colombian washed coffee with a strong white grape aroma right off brew. The acidity was a bit overpowering and sweetness was lacking. Tried steeping only and it helped balance the acidity and sweetness nicely.

I haven’t made a great cup with 3 pours yet. Will test it again and share my results when I get it right.

​​​@@SimonAndrewCoffeeI tried 3 equal pours no bloom and the brew is much more balanced in terms of sweetness and acidity than bloom 2x into 2 equal pours with 15 s between. Even though the three pours (without bloom) tasted quite bitter I sipped it up quickly. Will adjust grind or lower temp of last pour. I think astringency was low and balanced between acidity and sweetness was great. Not too strong either. 250 g water 16.5:1 3 pulses, 10 s wait 92c, 92c, 90c TBT 2:20 Melitta 1x4 paper (cut to fit)

Casa should have less retention and is better for dual purpose I believe. Good for pourover or espresso. Specialita is alright, nice and quiet but has a decent amount of retention and flavour clarity is more blended, with higher body and likely more fines, which works for traditional espresso and milk drinks but not so well for pourovers, the adjustment system also sucks going back and forth from espresso to brew coffee.

I don’t have the SSP burrs in my Ode2 grinder, just the gen 2 burrs. With the omni burrs in the p64, I think the ode2 with SSP UM burrs would offer more clarity.

Appreciate it! Stay tuned for my upcoming video on my updated aiden profile

osmo pocket 3

👍 will do that

Still using the same profile for now with minor tweaks, check out my older videos casa compared with ode2 and p64. Will share an updated profile once it’s ready

Ah - I watched that but didn’t see an Aiden profile?

Hi, using this profile for light roast coffee Ratio - 1-17 Bloom ratio - 1:2 Bloom duration - 30/45s Bloom temp - 96degc 2 pulses Time between pulses - 15/30s Pulse 1 temp - 96degc Pulse 2 temp - 92degc

Totally agree, with so many options it can definitely get frustrating at times. Since you’ve tested many beans with the current profile, maybe try tweaking a few more parameters. Try to reduce the last pulse temp by 10-15deg or more or cut off the brew earlier to see if it helps with the bitterness.

I’ve gone through over 3kg with the p64 and close to 500g with the casa.

Hi, this is my Aiden brew profile, yes grind size is 5,1 on the Ode2 Ratio - 1-17 Bloom ratio - 1:2 Bloom duration - 30/45s Bloom temp - 96degc 2 pulses Time between pulses - 15/30s Pulse 1 temp - 96degc Pulse 2 temp - 92degc

I don’t have the kruve sifter so I used the fellow prismo filter to shake out fines, some boulders slipped through 😂

Thanks so much for your kind words and support!

Unfortunately I don’t have the 48mm burrs to compare. Ordered the Casa with 65CL burrs

I got the 65CL in the mail today and swapped them for the 48MS - once I got it dialed I think I got more nuanced flavor from the same coffee I’d had earlier with the 48MS. Kinda hard to compare directly as the swap does take a few mins but maybe I’ll pre grind and try it out. Did note that for the bean I was using, the dialed setting of 6.0 on the 48MS translated to 7.6 on the 65CL (for the same profile/recipe/shot time). First shot I tried at 6.0 got me 11g out in 99 seconds lol

@@w1ndsurf0rd13 waw! What a Big change on grind setting between the 2 burrs !

I swapped mine yesterday. Once I re-zeroed it, the grind settings where identical

@@nickr9784 interesting. My settings are very different. But, I'm starting to wonder if I never properly "zeroed" the 48... My espresso grind is close to 6-6.5 on the 65, which is a larger number than I expected as I was ~4.5 on the 48. Still figuring out my drip settings, but seems somewhere between 10.5-12 at the moment.

using the mizen 64om

Thanks, will definitely get one to try out soon

Flair ,58 is king, saves a ton of money for a better grinder which means better coffee

👍 happy brewing with your new setup

So far the whole grinder feels solid with no wobble.

Unfortunately I don’t have one on hand

Thanks!

You can experiment with different brew ratios recommended by the SCA depending on the type of coffee you’re using

Thanks! I picked it up online a while back. It was a random find with no brand mentioned

yeah the grind cup empties cleanly for filter. For espresso, there are some fines but 1-2 taps get most of it out. No stalling issues so far.

@ sounds good, thank you for getting back!

I don’t have the 48mm burrs or niche zero to compare. The niche zero is more for traditional espresso with medium/dark roasts and more body. The casa is closer to my P64 Omni, so they’d likely be quite different.

Thanks! I agree about the build quality issues, I’ve had 2 brews stuck after the bloom phase. Other than that, I’ve been lucky with no major problems 😬. I got the Aiden hoping for more consistent brews, ease of use, and to experiment with different brew options. I believe it has delivered on consistency and good tasting coffee, I’ve been brewing more drip/filter coffee 😀 so I’m ok with the quality issues and am happy to continue brewing with it.

No specific brand, just a random find online.

@ thanks…

Thanks, I’ll check it out to see the difference in taste.

Unfortunately I don't have a moccamaster to make a proper comparison, but I’ll look into it if I get the chance.

Thanks Patrick agree with you. I try to get dialed in close to my preference after that I make minor tweaks to experiment. It's important to taste and enjoy the process not only dialing in for the perfect brew. Yes the fellow Aiden is good for consistency. Waiting for the phone app to be released and future updates to edit brews and adjust individual pour duration.

@@sotirisdiamantopoulos231 ahh I didn’t know that it works with different drippers. Will check it out thanks 🙏

Aliexpress try searching for Japanese style coffee ceramic mugs

same here tried stirring and increasing the number of pours but I got bitter notes. can't remember which video but I remember seeing a flatter bed. Could be for larger batch brews

@@SimonAndrewCoffee I'm experimenting with grind size to go coarser 🙏

Is it bitter and hollow/empty or just a hint of bitterness with good body. If the latter I would probably try to increase the coffee dose slightly (around 0.5-1.0g) and keep the grind size the same

I think it was more hollow bitterness. I added more grinds but it got more bitter. Ended up reducing the ratio from 1:15 to 1:16 (400g : 25g). Was still bitter. Made the grind coarser and made my first smooth cup. No bitterness. I saw a Fellow video that says Aiden extracts efficiently. This grind is maybe like French press. Uncomfortably coarse. But the tweaks continue. Probably need a coffee spectrometer.

👍 my next video is about identifying your coffee taste and the adjustments to make. Hope it will be helpful for you as well
