@@benwatson3482 you can also try Scott's recipe in our app called Brewtime :)
Thanks
@@krizmarek it's i-phone only. why not for android?
@@fractalentanglement8485 Hi! We just released an Android version! Check that out: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brewtime
I decided to ditch my Breville Precision brewer because I just was not happy with the results. I had just over a year adjusting every aspect of the brew to no avail. I decided I wanted to try a Chemex... tried many pour styles. Nope. I got a HarioV60 and again set off to try to find my perfect brew. After 11 months of watching more videos than I can count, and reading more blogs than anyone should ever read about coffee pour techniques, I found you. I was skeptical... I thought.. STIR? SWIRL? Boiling temperature? NO WAY. YES WAY!! Your technique taught me how to get the maximum flavor and sweetness from my coffee! THANK YOU! Scott!
For anyone about to watch this video, this is the best video on pour over I’ve watched and I watched many. Clear, concise and then a quick repeat of instructions at the end.
So this is the Scott Rao I've been hearing about around the coffee machine.
Everyday, for the last year when I make a pour-over I have fond thoughts of you. YES YOU!! You were instrumental in teaching me how to make a great cup of coffee. This demo is hands down the best out there in YT land. Cannot thank you enough! THANK YOU!
Have watched a dozen videos on pour overs, and this guy is definitely the most thorough, and gives the most explicit explanation of every process. Excellent!
After trying this method I realise how bad my v60 coffees were, my technique was terrible. Getting a 3 minute pour now and the flavour from my coffee is unbelievable, so rich and tasty with no bitterness. Thank you Scott.
4 years later and I still use your method Scott ❤. Hario went and changed their filter this year - the ones that worked beautifully for years. Toward the end of pour the grinds pack down too tight which adds a minute or more and the coffee taste is bitter and grinds are dry. I needed to watch this video again to see how to adjust the grind. Ty Scott! ❤
I know this video was uploaded over a year ago, but I am so glad I found it. As a Youth Challenged American, I could never get the pour over to give me the flavor I wanted from coffee, so I abandoned the practice some years back for a decent drip pot, until now. In clear language I could understand, you explained why some pour overs were bitter, sour or stringent. Clear, concise instruction and explanation from a coffee expert. You have my thanks.
Thanks for showing it twice. Once to talk in detail and once in real time. Smart presentation.
I got a plastic v60 two years ago and always thought it was crap because I didn‘t knew I had to buy v shaped filters, as I have never seen them in a shop over here. I always thought there is only one type of filters. Then I thought it was crap because everyone told me ceramic is the reall deal.
Then I saw your Video. Thank you! I ordered the filters and I will try your method.
Again thanks!
@ch282 or just buy the normal hario ones
ch282
Amazon or online shopping
+1 for no hipster posing and more technical information! thank you so much!
Thanks! Let's steal coffee back from the hipsters :)
god damn hipsters!!!!
@@scottrao5268 "wonderful"
Been using a v60 for a very long time...and to think for the last ten years I thought I was brewing the "perfect cup"...but nope. I love this method, and I am certain it'll be the last I ever use. This has transformed my coffee through the v60 in a way I couldn't have imagined. I mostly notice that the bitterness is gone, and I couldn't be happier.
This guy is great? Simple, well-organized, informative presentation. Thank you, Scott.
Best tutorial I’ve seen on this topic. I really appreciated the follow up of the realtime brew, then the recap. 99% of the videos on these topics are incomplete, ambiguous, and leave out critical details.
Scott, excellent presentation, best I've seen. Such a pleasure to see you work, and show your appreciation for coffee. Thank you.
Great job Scott, refreshing to watch an adult give directions.
This is one of the best explanations on the V60! There are a looooot of V60 techniques on RUclips and some make you a bit skeptical.
I'm glad you're pro stirring during the bloom stage. So many professional looking videos are against it, but me, as an amateur, find it produces the best results. So I was confused for the longest time. "Are these pros right or wrong?" I'm glad you cleared it up and your explanation for it makes a lot of sense.
This method works great for the Bonavita Dripper as well. 25g of coffee to 425g water. One of the best cups of coffee I've ever brewed at home! Thanks Scott
This is the best V60 technique video I've seen. Definitely the easiest to understand and implement. I just got a V60 and am still trying to get the hang of it. Going to give this a try. Thanks!
You make your no-nonsense pour-over coffee brewing. No rituals and no myths. That's exactly the way I've been making mine coffee. I don't know if it's really necessary to stir the coffee before serving as a final touch. I believe Bunn coffee brewer recommends stirring.
Just from the first time that I have used this method, it made the resulting cup way much better than any my previous brewing. Scott, thank you so much for sharing this video.
I've tried so many different methods. I have tweaked so many of the steps. I am fully excited to watch this video to see what I've been doing wrong and to learn something new and vital.
Thanks so much for the clear and simple instructions, it really made my coffee taste much better!
Just got to try this technique, watched and tried the pulse method in my earlier v60 days, thr 4-6 method (to a certain extent, got it right), James Hoffman's V60 technique, and finally this one. Seems quite simple, but consistent. After complete draw down, I regularly get the even bed of coffee grounds. Never thought I would be fascinated by that! I think I'll use this technique more often.. although I still get great results with the other techniques.
Thank you for pronouncing your name. This has put to rest an endless debate about how it was pronounced.
hahahah. you can pronounce it however you'd like.
Scott Rao we credit Cat and Cloud for clearing this one up..."Rao of light"! Fitting.
Love Cat and Cloud... haven't tasted their coffee but I have been following Chris Bacca for a while now :)
Car Spidey yes, Chris and Jared are awesome. They will be offering a Geisha at cost in the coming weeks, might be a good time to try them out. ☕️👍🏼
thanks for the info. I'll stay tuned.
I was so close to toss my V60 in the garbage can...lol.... following this guide, I'm brewing very good coffee, although, I think full immersion methods are better :-). Thank you for this guide Scott.
Clever all the way! (or Aeropress)
It's honestly just come done to your opinion. If you like coffee one way, good for you. If you like coffee another way, good for you as well. No one's going to stop what you like unless it's harmful to your health
I got the cleanest cup with this method, and by far my favourite👍 Thank you
Superb insights and good thinking in this video. Too bad it's 7 years since uploading ... hope you get to see this positive comment. Thanks for sharing your insights 🙏👍
You sir, just helped make my personal best cup of coffee. Just before watching this video, I made a lousy cup with my new Hario system. And just after watching this video, I made an awesome cup. And I haven't even dialed it in yet, so it's gonna get better. Also, I would like to add that while I liked the hipster videos out there, it was great to have someone cut through the chase. You're like the Joe Friday of coffee making -- just the facts! Thanks!!
Thanks for this. I echo most of the comments previous to this. I’m an engineer and appreciated the direct and technical approach to your tutorial. The real time brew section was extremely helpful and something I thought was missing from every other video. Looking forward to trying this soon !
This has been the most effective pour-over tutorial I've read or watched. Highly recommend this video & method for anyone who will be brewing via the Hario V60.
2 years later: I watched James Hoffmann's V60 video about 4 times and I actually found your video more helpful. However, you are missing accent and cool hair.
The technique is pretty similar from what I can tell, Hoffman just goes into the finer details more. The whole "excavating" vs "starting with a well and twirling" presumably has the same result of wetting all the beans. The rotating pour and spoon followed by a twirl is also pretty much the same just more detailed from Hoffmans side (breaks the pour into two separate 30s blocks). The ratio is even roughly the same. Maybe Hoffman just needs the real time run through at the end of the video to simplify it.
yeah, also the quality of the video doesn't help, it's low even for 2017 standards, sound is HORRIBLE (not mentioning James Hoffman's unique style and cool video montage)
from my experience, you can get a pretty nice brew by following JH's video, and this one gives some theory and explanation of why we're doing this.
Yeah, James is soothing in the morning. I listen to him while I make my coffee.. There's room for everybody. :)
@@manielek Yes. I don't understand when channels have harsh clangy audio.. A good mic please. James' attention to detail in editing is a delight.
I wish I saw this video first a year ago, would of saved me a lot of wasted coffee trying to follow other v60 videos😭😭
Great job!!
It's nice to see someone that really cares about the process
Just got my V60 in the mail! I'm excited to try out your technique ☺️
The more V60s I make I understand to perfection the tips and tricks, thank you Scott and cheers form Mexico
Thanks, Scott. Presumably the stainless version might also be good as stainless is a very poor conductor of heat. I appreciate your posting this.
Very well explained and justified the reason behind all steps while preparing pour over coffee. I am eager to follow the steps soon. This is the best video I watched so far. Thanks.
This was really helpful & it’s great to watch an informative video from someone obviously passionate about their subject ☕️
I just followed the instructions, and the result was a very delicious coffee! Thank you very much!
Hey Scott , great video. One note on plastic vs ceramic brewer. If both brewers are adequately pre-warmed then all the heat is ' sucked' into both. When the brewers are in use, some thermal energy will be transferred from the water to the brewer and some to the surroundings. The brewer that holds thermal energy better will take less from the coffee and release less into the surroundings keeping the coffee at a more stable temperature. Ceramic has a higher heat capacity and will keep it's temperature better.
Very cool, this alongside James Hoffman's v60 video have really helped me to see how to do it right,
Interesting technique and great tutorial. This method seems really easy and straightforward. I've never worried about uneven extractions because I've always poured slowly enough so that no water falls through without extracting some coffee. It does cause some bitterness but to be honest I enjoy every cup I make.
Best and most consistent brewing method! ✌️
Thanks Scott! Ive been doing this method since you were on the Cat and Cloud podcast and my home brew has definitely improved a ton!
Guys, a bit of a tip from me : combine Rao's pour over concept with Kasuya's. They work so well together. Tried it with light roast Indonesian beans and they work beautifully
By far the best pour over video I have watched! kudos
Serving/Ratio: 22g for 360g / 1:16.4
Brew time: 3 mins
1. Rinse filter & pre-heat V60
2. Pour in grounds, flatten, pre-wet with 66g water (~3x weight of grounds).
3. Gently excavate to wet all the grounds within 10s
4. At 45s, start main pour until 360g.
5. Gently stir to stop grounds from clinging to sides
6. At 1min 45s, swirl V60 to flatten coffee bed for even brew
7. Drawdown should be complete within 3 minutes.
Thanks so much, Scott! I've recently shifted from my Kalita Wave to a V60, but have been struggling to "dial it in". Your video (and the Brewtime app that features this method) nailed it for me. Tasting flavors I haven't been able to pull out previously. Thank you!
nice! I'm glad
Jordan Schlansky.
But unlike Jordan Schlansky, he knows good coffee.
Omg I thought of him right away. Especially fitting cuz of Jordan's alleged snobbishness
@@sixthdutch That's true. Jordan has a pod coffee machine in his office.
@@AyAy008 And if you watch the video of them visiting a coffee roasters, he's obnoxious and says that only espresso prepared like average Italian espresso is good and disses third wave roasting.
seriously that's Jordan's lost bro
Scott, thank you SO much for posting this! I've been reading your blog for some time now and I am eager to try this. I absolutely love the one or two step pours - all of these hipster brew techniques have absurd stages and nonsense. Your technique is simple and each step is actually meaningful from a technical standpoint. I can't thank you enough!!
Hey Scott, I have to say this is the best Pour Over video that I have seen! It amazes me that everyone has their own way to do it. One thing I did notice is that you didn't mention the preferred temperature of the water, other than to say to use boiling water.
This is actually the best method out there.
Opinions vary yo!
Excellent video. I read his advice for the Chemex and this looks similar to what I read. Applying this to my Chemex brew technique.
Excellent video, best one I've seen on pour overs.
wow. so glad I watched this before making my second cup!! the first was like drinking foldgers. the one I made with this method, bloody brilliant. I can actually taste the notes, dark chocolate with hints of almond. I feel like the main difference was the amount of water used in the bloom, plus excavating. anyway...subscribed!
This video is tagged "old" but the info is great and relevant. Slick looking video as well.
That was one delicious coffee I made following your tips! Thanks for sharing!
ordered my first V60 today , pretty excited. Gotta use a handgrinder first tho , since electic burgrinders are hella expensive
My Folgers taste improved with this technique - not kidding. The excavation is probably the most important.
Very informative video, thanks a lot! This is the best I've found so far, with an emphasis of content and information over form.
Excellent explanation Scott, thanks!
So helpful. Thanks! Would love to see your 2-pour method, out of curiousity. But I understand these videos take time/money. Thank you again Scott!
This was so interesting to watch! I tried his method and used his tips - I was very happy with the taste of my coffee. Really helpful video. Thank you very much for sharing.
That was a Rao shake, not a Rao spin at the end:) I guess a lot of Rao believers will have to accept the fact that Scott works in mysterious ways:)
Now seriously, thanks for the video, its great!
Ok. I confess there was a spin AND a shake. Gotta mix it up, you know.
Yeah, it was just unnecessary trolling from me;) The truth is, that I tried to incorporate all the hints from your video, and my brew went from bland underextracted to the most yummy V60 brew of my life! Seriously, I was just underextracting my brews and with OE Lido, there werent enough fines to compensate, so with the spoon moves, its just another level instantly...
Nice! I love reading that.
Jan - what Lido do you use and what settings? I have the Lido 3.
Very nice video!
Most of the things i did was already like you said, but my coffee bed was not wet send but mud... will try to adjust that! Might also explain why the extraction took quite long.
Thanks for sharing your technique, Scott. I'm definitely going to give it a whirl.
Great video Scott, I've been a barista for about 11 months at Costa in the UK, I quit my job and I'm looking to find an independent coffee job where I can take my coffee skills to the next level. I just got your book The Professional Barista's Handbook for Christmas and it's fantastic, didn't want to put it down. Keep up the video work! I think you'd benefit from youtube greatly if you kept getting out videos similar to this but perhaps with a better microphone quality.
I'm a little late, I started using the hario a couple months ago. The problem I have is in the first pour for the bloom my water is going down really fast, even in the end to do the light stir. And great vid Scott
Dear Scott, very interesting and pleasant presentation. Thank you for sharing!
Very helpful! Thanks for posting. Looking forward to seeing future videos.
Thank you sir.. I never using spoon during the "Blooming Process" now I've seen you video and it seems really reasonable amd convincing.. I'll try that method! :)
4:6 method punya Tetsu Kasuya juga asik mas 👍
Doc, try to adapt rao's and Kasuya's concept, they work well together and are adaptable to a lot of coffee beans. Tried it with Indonesian and Colombian beans with different roast degree and it was beautiful. Cheers!
I thought you were from the Conan show and had to Google. You remind me of Jordan Schlansky. Great info. I want to compare the results to the Aero Press which I purchased but never use. I'm searching for the best method for my office with little cleanup and I'm tired of my metal pour over getting clogged.
This just up'd my coffee game! Thank you.
Really great video with useful info Thanks a lot sir !
Thank you kind sir, this is the best V60 instuctional vid, PERIOD....ya hear me, PERIOD....🎤⬇️
This was a really wicked video! Cheers Scott! 👌 I tried it first time on Nordic roaster yirgacheffee and wow it turned out really good. I use Helor 101 hand grinder and my total time was 3:10. I may have to grind it bit finer. I use water TDS 175ppm (used distilled water and added Global Customised Water solution). And I used to think your last name was pronounced like South Indian last name Rao! Thanks for the elucidation on that!
MrBPM75 where was ur setting on the Helor 101?
I got one too, amazing grinder👍
@@mauimikey2491 So sorry for the late reply. I usually go V60 between 34-38 dots from zero depending on beans weight. 13-15 grams 34 dots and 25g 38 dots. What are you using? My zero is exactly opposite of dark dot so if dark dot is 12 0Clock and zero hits at 6 oclock if that make sense.
Thank you for sharing your V60 brewing technique Mr. Rao!
I would like to add subtitle for your video if you want (in English and Indonesian), but your channel said that this video is not open for public contribution.
So, I can't do it for now.
First step: buying a V60.
Phew! That’s the most important step and I am happy you said :)
Great video. I like it!!
I hope, sometime in my life, to have the time to obsess about this kind of thing. ;-)
Now may be the right time. V60 makes delicious coffee.
It's like Scott disavowing his son with this new title.
"I know for some strange reason this is controversial in the coffee industry to touch the grounds during brewing - this is the way to do it."
with out a doubt, the longest process ever for making a cup of coffee in the morning. even longer than when out in the backcountry
I know, that this is fully off topic to say. But you are highly concious, wether you are concious of it or not. I dont mean this in any ironic way!
lol'd at the "no hipster posing bs" hahaha, but great video, gave me a lot of insight on how to use the V60 for brewing!!
I get that even extraction is important, so this technique is better than having no control of the coffee bed, but the ideal coffee bed should actually be bulged at the centre because of the nature of the cone shape. A same angle-independent thickness is obtained when the bed draws the arc of a circle with the cone tip as the centre. With a flat bed, water at the edge of the coffee bed travels further than water in the middle of the coffee bed.
Thanks for the video Scott! I'd love to see a similar video with a Kalita brewer, even though you mentioned you don't prefer that device since grounds get caught in the filter due to their shape (I'm interested in how/if you pulse and events/brew times).
Maybe throw up a Chemex instructional video, too; you could illustrate how to brew coffee with a Chemex as it plummets towards the concrete from a high building.
Hi Joe,
My Kalita method is pretty much the same, but I would limit the batch size. And no, I"m not a fan of those. Videos take a lot of time and money to make, so I'm sorry, but I don't plan to make another hand-pour video because it would be redundant.
Bags of wet sand! Cool video I can’t believe this much thought goes into coffee but hey I’m going to put this knowledge to work!
Great video. Please do more on other methods. Also would love to hear how you select different brew methods based on type of coffee you have ( Ethiopian natural versus Guatemalan washed Antigua) and what flavors or balance favors one brew method over another.
Thanks again. Great stuff!
Hi Eric, I don't care much for changing brewing method based on the coffee, and I would never choose to brew a natural :0
I let my refractometer and taste adjust the grind based on the coffee, but keep the method the same. Is that the right general idea? I'll also adjust the coffee to water ratio if needed also.
What's wrong with brewing a natural? Any blog posts you have on this?
jordan schlansky.... well done
One important addition: When done brewing mix the coffee in the server well before pooring. The first coffee at the bottom of the server will be from a different planet than the last!
I've also noticed this. It's much sweeter! 😍 Any idea why?
Nothing pretentious in a coffee video, am I still on youtube :) Thanks Scott, subbed
Awesome video Scott!
Thank you so much for this video, one of the best out there!!!
Watching how to pour water over coffee, year 2020 :) But maybe more satisfying than lighting a match.
good quality information thanks i have a slightly different brew ratio to suit my palate preference plus I recommend a pre heat on the coffee cup as well to keep the coffee warmer for longer!
Good Video Scott!
The great thing about this technique is that you can perform it on automatic drip coffee too, just stirring a little bit made my moccamaster's coffee taste exponentially better with very little effort, and I'm guessing doing the more involved method shown here will make fantastic coffee.
Wonderful. Shall give this a go.
