Emil - Copenhagen | Home Coffee Brewing with April #31

- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- This week, we’re bringing you the latest video from a series that we call Home Coffee Brewing with April. We join Emil in his Copenhagen apartment as he shares his approach to filter coffee brewing.
We believe that innovation in coffee brewing starts at home, and that some of the most special and meaningful interactions with coffee can take place within your own kitchen.
As we are frequently travelling visiting our international partners, we decided to introduce this format as a way to interact with you on a different level whilst maintaining the frequency of our videos.
In this video, Emil brews a Kenyan coffee from Danish roasters Coffee Collective, using a Plastic April Brewer, April Paper Filters, a grinder from Wilfa and a Fellow kettle. He brews using local water which he filters himself, heated to 94 degrees and poured in 3 stages.
We hope you enjoy this episode and we look forward to bringing you 4 more episodes from here in Copenhagen, before we head off to Chicago for the next chapter of the series.

Never seen someone pull off a sweater vest with that much swag haha.
Loving this series, so cool to get an insight into how other people brew their coffee 👍🏼
Thank you for watching. That's how the Danes do it, plenty of swag. Did you learn anything new from the video?
@@coffeewithapril I found the point that was made at around 14:30 pretty interesting - „water flows where water has been“.
Been wondering how to saturate the coffee bed more evenly especially during the bloom, to set up the rest of the brew. I try to avoid swirling the brewer, as that tends to mute some of the sweetness for me. Maybe WDT?
@@lIlIlIllIlIlIlIIl we have seen a few WDT tools being used. There are some obstacles with that - it's easy to damage the paper filter if you are not careful. But, even saturation is why we are using a larger amount of water in the first pour.
@@coffeewithapril I‘ll probably stick to the larger first pour in the long run, thanks for the input!
@@lIlIlIllIlIlIlIIl Agitation and pouring volume is key for that first pour. Keep us posted on how the brewing works out.
Very pleasant video , he seemed very humble which I can appreciate .
Thank you for watching. We are glad you like it. Absolutely, very down to earth and in the beginning of his coffee journey. We are planing to get back to Emil for an Espresso video in the future.
What do we think about the new "city intro?"
I like it soooooo much 😊😊😊
@@youngjunkim7 glad you like it. How can we make it even better?
It's really great. Also if you can show small clips of each city's roaster's/cafes that you're mentioning in videos that'd be nice.
@@Kiba_Fox we will see if we can get that in.
im curious if you can add some context of what the specialty coffee culture is like in the city you're showcasing? I feel like that would add some depth with how we view the home brewers approach!
Love this series. No need for any fancy production value for it to be entetaining or educational. You convinced me to try Third Wave Water, since I'm currently mixing my Zerowater with store-bought mineralwater and not quite sure what I feel about it.
Thank you for watching and your positive feedback. Yeah, we are doing this "back-packing-style" and prioritize the content over production value - that said we are always interested in improving both.
The new intro is amazing! Really makes home brewing more special especially when we sip our cup while looking outside or in the patio just enjoying the scenery
Thank you for watching and glad you like it. We will working on improving it as we go. We were thinking to maybe include some clips from local coffee shops as well. Would that be interesting?
@@coffeewithapril Of course! It adds support for that local roasters!
@cof😊feewithapril
I love this series and it was really interesting to hear about the change in Kenyan coffee changing over time - would be interesting to hear what other changes we see in the environment of coffee beans and perhaps even where it is going.
Thank you for watching and sharing. We just released a more in depth video on Kenyan coffee together with a local farmer in the country that we are working with. There is indeed a lot of changes happening on farm level, some fuelled by the climate change and some from other factors.
Love it!.. yeah I haven't had that wow Kenyan in a while.
Looking forward to the espresso video.
Thank you for watching. That is true. That said we are brining in coffee from one interesting farm later this year. The Espresso Video will come with the next batch from Copenhagen. Next up after this Copenhagen run is Chicago.
i use third wave water as well, and dilute it so i get around 60 tds. Can i ask when you used TWW, what TDS level did you prefer? or how much did you dilute it
Thank you for watching. Question, how do you know that you get the same ratio of minerals (given that the pack has more minerals than one) when you don’t use all of it?
We usually aim for 40-60 but find that the composition and quality of minerals is more important than the total.
@@coffeewithapril I have the full strength tww as they recommend in a separate bottle, and then zerowater in a separate bottle as well, and then i pour 90G of TWW water in my kettle and the rest of the water (up to 240G total) is from zerowater
@@MrJeepStone Makes sense, thank you for sharing.
Question and comment Patrik. For filter, are you using TWW “light roast” profile? And damn you, I have now officially chewed 2 coffee beans. And I’m a dentist!😂
😢
Thank you for watching and sharing. We would use the Classic Profile.
I recently purchased April ceramic dripper set (for Serax). Bad craftsmanship. The dripper doesn't even sit stable on the ceramic cup provided in the box. The dripper hole is uneven and the rim is so rough without glaze. The lid handle is so short, I cannot hold it in fingers. Terrible user experience, even before using it. Not the quality I expected for $80.
That was the very first version of the Brewing Kit we ever made, several years ago. We have learned a lot since then and changed production.
