Pre-Order & Secure the Melitta Epos for Dispatch Mid-Late March 2022! Apologies! 2:20 , all are Ratio's not Grams to Litres. 18:1 is 55g / 1L 16.5:1 is 60g / 1L 15:1 is 65g / 1L
This machine is great. There is only one thing I cant figure out. After the 40 min passed and autostop kicked in, is there any way making the same coffe warm again on the machine?
If i want only 15g per cup, is it possible. As i understand from you it’s 18g per 1L, which considered not strong coffee. Please advise me if im wrong Thank you
Yes that's okay 👌 18g of coffee per litre> that doesn't sound right ... 🤔 It's 60g-70g per 1L. So if looking to brew a single cup with 15g coffee - measure out 240g water and place in the back of the water reservoir
The Adjustment of the Grinder is better than you'd expect - for machines that have in-built grinders - I'd agree they're always a little underwhelming - ESPECIALLY for espresso - but this is well suited for Brewed coffee and the grinder does as good a job as if you had a Baratza Encore instead. Apologies ! 18:1 as a ratio. Not 18g - 1L 🤦 - So around 55g / 1L. 16.5:1 ratio is 60g/1L, I mention this is the ideal setting for coffee brewing. All respect - James Hoffman has incredibly high standards that reflect a pinnacle of coffee brewing - and it was more of a Head-to-head, and If I recall - this machine actually came out on top. The worst thing I could say about this machine is its grinder could do with a catch bin.
I have a Melitta Epour and I always get sour coffee using the Epour even when grinding finer and trying different coffees. What else could I try to change, to get less sour coffees with it? In my case I always end up with a really steap cone shaped coffee bed and not a nice flat one. I think from the brewing perspective the two are quite similar.
100% similar yes, identical even. I would suggest using less coffee in the basket. If you want to try a long pre-infusion, just allow the beans to get fully saturated than tap the brew button - and the Epour will stop and go in to a sort of stand by mode - (not very automatic I know) and you can program it to do all of this automatically though - I would suggest just trying it first to see if it works ... wiat say 40 sec - 1 min than tao the brew button again to start the Brewing cycle up again. In terms of the cone, and not flat bad - I haven't consistently got flat beds, but it hasn't been terrible either. I've found with a finer grind and a slower draw down gets better results. The filter basket almost fills to the top before the boiler runs out.

Awesome video!
Thanks!

Good question. No, I don't believe so.
Is this not available in the US? I can’t find it anywhere! ;-(
Trying to buy this in USA, but can’t find it avail for sale. Any help?
Will this be available in North America?
I'm not sure sorry.- This particular unit is 220v and uses an Australian Plug -
Is the temperature of the water adjustable? Thx
it is not unfortunately

Reviewed by James Hoffmann like a pandemic ago, he suggested 60g/l and critizised the really awful adjustment of the grinder.

thats's 125 ml increments buddy
18g per litre? 😳
Surely that can’t be right? I’ve always worked to a guideline of 60g/litre, so 18g is more like an espresso dose.

@@AlternativeBrewing phew! Thought I’d been doing it all wrong 😂
All options seem weak bre to me 🤣
