How are you brewing?

How are you brewing? - Lemmy.world

I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go! There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What’s your brew method of the day/week?

I use a modified rancilio silvia. It has a PID with the boiler set at 216°F. I also have it moded for pre-infusion. I do a 10 second pre-infusion and a shot time of ~27 seconds. 20 grams in 40 grams out. There is an awesome local roaster, light house roasters, they have a variety of beans to choose from. I’m still learning and chasing that perfect shot.

I’m just more curious than anything, but why do you have the boiler set for 4 degrees above boiling?

It seems to produce a better tasting shot. That also seemed to be a temp that outputs water at around 195 at the grouphead. I am not sure if it is normal to set the boiler temp in that range. I would love to hear what is normal if my temp isn’t. I have also thought that my PID might not be perfectly calibrated.
