Earlier this year I had the chance to finally visit Thailand.
For coffee, I only managed to visit Factory Coffee and Talen Coffee. In this post I want to specifically share about my experience with Talen Coffee and the dripper they sell.
Cuaca ketika siang hari bisa terasa sangat panas beberapa hari terakhir ini; karena itu saya mulai suka membuat es kopi lagi agar lebih segar ketika sedang gerah.
Biasanya, untuk membuat es kopi yang saya inginkan, saya harus menggunakan resep kopi yang berbeda dengan resep kopi panas yang biasa saya gunakan.
Pertama-tama, selamat untuk Ryan Wibawa, sebagai perwakilan dari Indonesia yang berhasil meraih posisi juara 3 pada event 2024 World Brewers Cup Championship di Chicago.
Pada postingan kali ini saya ingin coba merangkum informasi mengenai biji kopi dan peralatan apa saja yang digunakan para juara tahun 2024 ini. Saya rasa kita bisa banyak belajar dari mereka 😀
Hario Mugen is a rib-less v60 coffee brewer. It has a relatively smooth wall to minimize water bypass. The idea is to create a one-pour coffee brewer.
I think it works great most of the time. Perfect when you just want to make a simple cup of coffee.
My issue with it is that sometimes placing the paper filter can be a little tricky. If you don’t place it right, the paper filter won’t adhere nicely to the wall.
No-bypass brewing is gaining popularity lately. A lot of no-bypass brewers are being released. Tricolate, LVL-10, Hario Mugen, Orea (with the negotiator), etc.
The latest generation of no-bypass brewers, like the Next Level Pulsar, also combines a variable flow-rate valve into the mix.
Pulsar is impossible to buy around here right now, and I do have some reservations in purchasing one (higher minimum recommended amount of coffee required, proprietary filter size, etc). But I’m still intrigued by the overall idea of combining immersion, no-bypass, and low agitation brew.
I happen to own Hario Switch, Hario Mugen, and also the Melodrip. So I thought, why not leverage what I already have? 🙂
I really like my Orea v3, but discussions about plastic related health risks kinda flared up again in my social circle. It made me look for non-plastic alternative to the Orea v3, even though I know that the clear version of Orea v3 is supposed to be BPA-free.
One day I found out about the Brewista Target Next Wave Duo dripper. Long story short, I bought it, it arrived yesterday, and I just had the chance to brew with it this morning.
Semenjak saya mulai hobi bikin kopi di rumah tahun lalu, Jakarta Coffee Week 2023 adalah event kopi paling besar yang pernah saya kunjungi.
Ruang event cukup besar, acaranya diadakan di Indonesia Convention Exhibition, Bumi Serpong Damai, pada tanggal 2-5 November 2023 kemarin. Ada 200+ tenant yang turut serta.
Di hari pertama saya datang ke sana, saya dan teman saya sudah keliling selama 4 jam dan belum sempat mengunjungi semua tenant.
I wasn’t planning to buy the Orea v3. Orea products are pretty hard to come by around here. Even if they’re available, it’s usually with a pretty significant markup. A few days ago, I saw a secondhand Orea v3 for sale. It looked well taken care of by the owner. It wasn’t cheap, but all things considered, also not overly expensive. Fear of missing out struck me and I immediately bought it.
I bought the brewer, but I forgot to buy the wave filter and the negotiator until a couple of days later. So when the brewer arrived, I thought I couldn’t immediately brew coffee with it.
I got impatient and wondered if I can fold a v60 paper filter and fit it in into the Orea v3 by hand without using the 3D printed negotiator tool.
