Wondering if there are Wilfa Uniform users here and how they are brewing? I’ve been using the Uniform at 28 for Hario Switch (using default 4min steep recipe) and the same setting for doing drip with Moccamaster. Seems to be working alright.
Though I just bought this ethiopian coffee that has this fantastic white wine taste to it in the coffee shop (brewed with V60) and when trying it out in the Switch I just got nothing like that. It was still good, but the taste notes were all gone.
Now I am considering going back to V60. I haven’t done V60s it in almost of year because I got annoyed by the fact that I never got the same taste as they did in my local coffee shop. Maybe it is time to have another go.
I use the Wilfa Uniform with V60 and April Brewer. My sweet spot is a 22 for a 1:15 ratio. If I’m doing a dense Ethiopian or something I’ll usually bump to a 24 or 25.
With regards to tasting like the coffee shop what kind of water are you using? Good coffee shops usually use perfectly tuned water vs what many people use at home. I’ve found that to be the biggest difference. I use GC water mixed into distilled water and it gets me much closer to what I’ve had at a coffee shop.
Good to know. I remember that I hovered around the 22-24 area as well but with 15/250g ratio.
Yeah it could be the water, I should go there and ask them to use tap water instead to just get a feeling on the difference. I use tap because it is very high quality here, though I think that the coffee shop does filter theirs.
I have mine set at 11, using the Hoffman single cup V60 method. He recommends to grind finer for lighter roasts, maybe you’re facing under extraction problems.
Damn that really fine lol. Honestly no clue what the issue has been, they never really taste underextracted, just sort of muted. Dunno.
