In the first episode of this two-part series Kenneth sits down with Daniel Teplitz of Klatch Coffee, who was awarded 3rd place in the 2023 US Brewer’s Cup Championship, to provide you with a pour over masterclass.

They discuss why the pour matters, what you are looking for, and how to avoid the mistakes most people make. They explain how to troubleshoot a range of taste and temperature issues. They also discuss the science and physics behind each of the pour tips and techniques that they share and the pour over myths they bust.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Understand what the right amount of coffee for your brewer is and stick to that.
Grind size has a significant impact on pour rate and flavor extraction.
Daniel does not like to stir. He explains why that is during the episode.
Under-extraction or over-extraction generally comes from either lack of agitation and/or water that is not at the right temperature.
There are two ways to deal with a stalled brew, both of which are explained in full in the episode.
How, when, and if you agitate impacts the temperature and taste.
When using really fresh coffee, you are going to see more of a bloom.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Figuring out coffee and troubleshooting is kind of what the Brewers Cup Competition is all about. ´

‘Essentially, the more you agitate a coffee, the faster it extracts.’

‘I'm seeing people try all sorts of different blooms. The key to me is to keep it simple.’
