00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,060
being employed at Linus Tech tips means there's a lot of cool stuff going on at

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:10,139
work we're constantly playing with the latest and greatest technology but our

3
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:13,620
staff has a ton of cool stuff going on at home too stuff that you guys don't

4
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:17,820
normally get to see with that in mind today we're going to be taking a peek

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,320
behind the curtain and out the door and down the road for a look at the Cool

6
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:25,619
Tech and hobbies that our staff spends their personal time on we may learn a

7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:30,119
little something about them in the process just like I want you to learn

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,140

end of this video to learn more sell your firstborn you can make another one

12
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:53,340
Europe doesn't exist to me hi I'm Tanner mccoolman I'm a writer here at LTT I'm

13
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:57,840
mentally unstable and I collect and live amongst trash

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,059
thank you the first bit of trash I would like to

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,240
show off today is McDonald's story heartwarming store manager training a

16
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:11,340
lot of people don't seem to realize there's actually multiple McDonald's games out there there's there's

17
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:18,540
mcdonaldland for the NES there's mcdonaldland for the Game Boy and

18
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,060
I often get asked is it any good and

19
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:26,340
no it's a collection of five mini games one of them you fill up a cup full of

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,280
soda one of them you flip Burgers I don't know what the other three are

21
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:33,659
because I don't speak Japanese and it's not a good game other features of the

22
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:37,939
game include the ability to print off receipts using the Game Boy printer

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,460
next thing I'd like to show off is just a real quick one beat Takeshi the

24
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:48,780
hardest NES game ever made it takes years to beat and you have to know every

25
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:52,140
little thing happening in it and if you die you start at the beginning again

26
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:57,479
it's not a game I've even tried to beat or play if we're being perfectly honest

27
00:01:54,540 --> 00:02:01,079
not worth my time Pokemon Stadium you may think you have the first Pokemon

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:05,460
Stadium at home you don't do you prefer Charmander Squirtle or Bulbasaur psych

29
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:10,259
you can't play as any of them because there's only 40 Pokemon in this game you

30
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:13,200
like mini games tengen Tetris now what makes this version of Tetris interesting

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,599
is that it was made by Nintendo previously it was only made by Atari

32
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:20,700
e-lorg and bullet soft bullet soft later

33
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:24,900
went on to become the tetris company they made Tetris when you press the down

34
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:30,300
button the piece spins when you press the a

35
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:32,760
button it hard drops you can't soft drop

36
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:36,780
you can't spin it the other way these are the only two inputs or you can do

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,580
side to side but by the time you realize that a and down do the things that they

38
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:47,580
do you turn the game off if you want to play a famicom game on a North American

39
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,519
NES you're gonna need some sort of 60 to

40
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:56,760
72 pin converter so that now it will fit into a regular sized NES I like to use a

41
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,959
cloned version of the NES this Retron from hyperkin is it good

42
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:05,099
but it's also not trying to turn everything into HDMI and I really

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:09,540
appreciate that the thing that I like most about this version of Tetris though

44
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:14,220
this comes from Nintendo's R D1 branch that was headed up by gunpeo Koi gunpeo

45
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:19,140
Koi doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves he invented The Game and Watch

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,980
he invented the Game Boy he invented the virtual boy we don't talk about that

47
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,360
that's why he left after he left Nintendo he went on to make the Wonder

48
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:31,260
Swan a portable game console that ran off of One battery and nobody really

49
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:35,400
cares about tragically he passed away in 1997 after getting into a car accident

50
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,360
he got out to check on the car after the car accident and got into another car

51
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,739
accident the last thing I want to show are my

52
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:48,000
sealed and unsealed copies of the 2019 movie Cats I have seen this movie no

53
00:03:46,019 --> 00:03:52,379
less than 30 times four times in theaters and every time it's in theaters

54
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:57,659
I will see it again what do you think this is that's the question I asked when

55
00:03:55,140 --> 00:04:00,720
I first saw it at the MCC sale there's like a garage sales section of it where

56
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:04,520
people are selling like old things it looks like a piece of technology could

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,299
it be a printer what do you think it is

58
00:04:06,299 --> 00:04:13,260
it's an IBM p7386 portable computer there's another

59
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,400
term for them I saw online a very strange computer at the MCC sale the

60
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,299
person who is Manning the station said give us an offer and my dad said two

61
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:26,820
dollars and fifty cents that's how much we paid for it it is a full functioning

62
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:30,419
386 computer with a plasma flat screen

63
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:32,160
from 1989 if you can believe it and

64
00:04:30,419 --> 00:04:35,880
um I never used it and I said I'll bring it to work maybe they'll be interested

65
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,180
and it sat under my desk for the past year and a half when I first brought it

66
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:42,540
here in hopes that it would be very interesting to the people who work here

67
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:45,479
I tried to boot it up and there's some sad things we've learned first off the

68
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:49,560
disk drive the floppy disk drive never worked on this thing it'd be really great if that was fixed because I could

69
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:55,280
play Old dos games but now I think the hard drive's broken it did have Windows

70
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:55,280
3 installed on it so let's take a look

71
00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:00,660
hey

72
00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:05,540
turn it off

73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,680
oh yes the Rams booting up how much RAM

74
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:15,600
do you think it has 8K 8 megabytes eight

75
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,280
bags so apparently this is a pretty fast computer to be lugging around yeah so

76
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:25,560
I've got some error numbers coming up here not okay IBM manual it does need a

77
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:29,780
little bit of tender loving care um to get it back up to snuff but this

78
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:31,199
is a plasma screen oh yeah this keyboard

79
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:38,340
it's not quite the Sims keyboard that's a reference to a Mac Address video you should watch but it is a really nice

80
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,460
feeling keyboard lots of sounds from this computer

81
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:45,720
if the drive was working I probably would have played around with them more it's just kind of been a relic sitting

82
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,940
in the corner and now it's been a relic sitting under my desk it doesn't have a battery or anything like that you have

83
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:54,780
to plug it in so there's like this like these like doors to like really turn it

84
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:58,560
like seal it up when you're done with it and you can like just walk around you

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,740
got a PS2 port for the mouse there's a printer port and then I guess two

86
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,039
parallel ports oh yeah I guess there's a VGA out as well so if you do want to

87
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,800
plug in a color monitor I don't know if it's Sports color though but let's just pretend it does and then there's actual

88
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,039
slots so you can put in a graphics card just kidding was PCI back then was that

89
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:18,360
a thing back then somebody said oh yeah they're really hard to find because they didn't really

90
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:23,220
sell very many of them there's one on eBay for 750 US dollars

91
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,520
yeah it'd be great to kind of get it working and like actually fiddle around

92
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:30,539
with it more I remembered opening up Windows and just being like this is

93
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:34,380
boring I've Resto modded a an old Mac that was fun I wouldn't build a hack and

94
00:06:32,699 --> 00:06:38,699
touch in it the cooling would be horrific you'd need like very efficient

95
00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:45,300
chips but it has the slots for like a graphics card I guess oh it's made in

96
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,620
Japan I don't know the IBM PS2 p70 or

97
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:49,460
luggable computer that's what they called it luggable

98
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:57,060
I brought zooms not just one zone I brought two zoons this is a reefer these

99
00:06:54,780 --> 00:07:01,440
things originally cost like 300 and giving them away refurbed for 75 bucks

100
00:06:59,699 --> 00:07:07,020
was kind of like a kick in the pants for everyone who bought one of these full price as soon as the Microsoft's answer

101
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,039
to the iPod at the time this Zoom came out so this is zoom 30. the biggest iPod

102
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:15,000
I'm pretty sure is the biggest one you can get was 20 kicks and this one had 30

103
00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:18,900
gigs you were getting a better value I think they were both about 300 at the

104
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:23,280
time I didn't an iPod that was too poor so when I got this this was great

105
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,000
because I could store all of the illegal MP3s I had

106
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,240
um and the other nice thing was it played video I never did that because

107
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:34,380
why would you want to watch a video on this advertising stuff showed people

108
00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:37,800
jogging with these things which seems insane to me because it has a tiny

109
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,460
little hard drive in it and if you ran with it you'd probably just destroy it

110
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:46,259
this is like a semi-official zoom leather case the nicest premium Naga

111
00:07:43,979 --> 00:07:49,800
hide you could get and it also has a very nice belt clip that I've never used

112
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:54,720
with it I usually just put it in there because the only thing that protects the

113
00:07:51,479 --> 00:07:57,960
screen is nothing it came with a pair of

114
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:00,599
earbuds which are the worst knockoffs of

115
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,960
the iPod headphones I've ever used and if you bought the very expensive Zoom

116
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:11,699
that came with a very nice leather case you got a pair of Premium earbuds I took

117
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,699
it to Italy with me and that was in 2010

118
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:16,919
10 I had a cell phone after that and

119
00:08:14,699 --> 00:08:22,020
that was easier to find music content carrying two different devices and then

120
00:08:19,259 --> 00:08:26,699
years later I was working for Best Buy and someone threw this into the

121
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:31,319
recycling and I grabbed it out so this is 120 gigabytes they're basically the

122
00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:38,580
same form factor it's like a big chocolate bar but the Zune 120 has a

123
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:40,800
capacitive touch button that also rocks

124
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:45,540
but most of the stuff is gesture based on it it doesn't work very well the

125
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:51,120
battery life on them I don't think was as good as the iPod I think I only ever

126
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:54,779
get about 8 to 10 hours out of this one before it needs to be recharged and then

127
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,580
this one is pretty much hopeless what it was sort of interesting for the time was

128
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,600
that you could share songs between zoons and you could listen to the song three

129
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,740
times over three days and then it disappeared off your Zoom it was kind of

130
00:09:05,339 --> 00:09:10,860
wild it also has Wireless syncing you didn't have to plug this into the

131
00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:15,959
computer you could just you could just sync it wirelessly it's just really slow

132
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:17,399
because this is 802.11b I still use this

133
00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:21,660
in software it's the best way of downloading RSS feeds and it puts the

134
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,820
album art on everything and I don't even have to think about it yeah the Zune

135
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:30,240
itself as a player kinda sucks if you

136
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:32,459
have MP3s tagged with the disk tag so

137
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:37,200
like whether it has disk one or disc two the zoom doesn't recognize that it'll

138
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:41,880
play track one disc one then track one disc two unless you separated like

139
00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:45,120
physically what's neat about both of them though is that they have a built-in

140
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,480
radio tuner David had to go to the drive-in and he used that to watch the

141
00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:54,540
movie at the drive-in that's probably the only time I've ever listened to radio on this oh they're neat yeah it's

142
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:58,680
a neat Oddity right like so they they were never commercially successful right

143
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:03,300
even when they came out people said why did Microsoft decide to enter this race

144
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:07,800
now should you listen to music on a Zune in 2022 only if you're a lunatic you

145
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:11,339
could user upgrade the battery you can user upgrade the hard drive there are so

146
00:10:09,779 --> 00:10:15,120
many better ways to listen to music now today I brought a bunch of coffee stuff

147
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:20,640
I've worked in the food industry for some time I've accumulated a couple of odds and ends that I wanted to show off

148
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,880
and help potentially people that have never experienced coffee to experience a

149
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,080
good coffee setup I've got some coffee from a local

150
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:31,920
roaster here in Vancouver aggro Roasters this is from the yoga chefe I honestly I

151
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:37,860
don't even know if I'm pronouncing that right jurgachev a region in Ethiopia

152
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:41,220
known for producing very small beans the

153
00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:45,300
coffee that comes from that region

154
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:47,700
is very very small it has kind of a

155
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:52,320
distinct roundness to it when you roast it it brings out a light acidity some

156
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,120
floral notes we're going to be attempting to bring those tasting notes

157
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,220
out with a V60 brewer today I've also

158
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,480
brought my Aeropress it's a really wonderful way to brew coffee but it is a

159
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:07,380
little bit more intensive and it's not typically what I use in the mornings so

160
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:12,300
I've got two kettles here today both of them you'll notice are gooseneck kettles

161
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:17,459
that just means that they have the long neck to them they allow for water to be

162
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,899
distributed very specifically within the points of the Brew so whether I'm using

163
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:26,040
this Brewer or this Brewer I can aim very specifically onto the bed of the

164
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:30,180
coffee where I want it to go so this one is unpowered this is one that just goes

165
00:11:27,899 --> 00:11:32,820
on the top of a stove and it's very very affordable it's probably one of the

166
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,260
first ones that I got is you can kind of tell by how grimy it is I don't use this

167
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:43,560
for coffee very much anymore I mostly use it to water plants but this one is

168
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:45,240
electric it goes on this nice base here

169
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:49,920
and I can set it to a very specific temperature within one degree Celsius

170
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:54,660
and it just sits there I can let it boil for an hour if I want to this is a hand

171
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:59,220
Grinder from Easy presso this is a very very good quality hand grinder and it's

172
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,360
pretty expensive as far as they go the reason for that is the build quality

173
00:12:01,079 --> 00:12:07,140
when you uh when you look into coffee grinders you can get them for 20 30

174
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:11,820
bucks and they can go all the way up to thousands upon thousands of dollars the

175
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:17,160
reason that it is good quality is because of the tolerances involved in

176
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,579
its Machining it's also a fully metal

177
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:24,300
Bursa what happens when you grind coffee

178
00:12:20,579 --> 00:12:27,120
is it has a burr here that grinds

179
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:30,839
against this Burr which is just a set of metal pieces that try to crush the

180
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,260
coffee as it's being fed through by gravity or by the rotational movement of

181
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:38,399
your hands this is important because this shaft is very very carefully

182
00:12:36,899 --> 00:12:42,060
machined when you have a grinder that's potentially cheaper it's going to have a

183
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:46,200
lot more wobble and so the grounds are going to be different sizes when they

184
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:52,019
come out coffee is just in general a chemical process the closer that you can

185
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,120
make a variable to a specific point the

186
00:12:52,019 --> 00:12:57,540
more accuracy you can have with the end result because there's a lot of

187
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:01,620
variables along the process that create the outcome of coffee the reason that I

188
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:05,940
use a hand grinder part of it is cost this is just affordable for somebody who

189
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,420
doesn't need to put out a lot of ground coffee like a coffee shop or somebody

190
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:13,079
that's selling it the other part of it is the ritual of it I like the sound of

191
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,500
it I like the feel of it in my hands when I'm brewing coffee and I want to

192
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:21,779
share that with you today what we're going to do is take 30 grams of coffee

193
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:26,639
and 500 grams of water which is approximately a 20 Brewery ship I've

194
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,260
also got a coffee scale here the reason that the coffee scale is important is

195
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:36,240
because this has very very specific accuracy it's I believe good down to 0.1

196
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:41,459
grams which is pretty tight for kitchen scales and it's also very fast it's

197
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:43,200
almost instant to come to these specific

198
00:13:41,459 --> 00:13:46,980
point of weight that's important for when I'm actually Brewing the coffee I

199
00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:51,240
can see how much water that I put in at a specific point in time it also has a

200
00:13:48,899 --> 00:13:55,380
timer so when I start it I know how long it's been brewing that's not useful in

201
00:13:53,220 --> 00:13:59,399
the moment but when I look back I can see how I need to adjust my Brew for the

202
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:04,620
next one that I make one thing that I like to do with this

203
00:14:01,139 --> 00:14:06,420
hand grinder is just use the Basin as a

204
00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:10,800
a catch bin to weigh out my coffee probably a bad habit because I'm

205
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:16,139
collecting coffee grounds from previous grinds but it's one that I've

206
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:20,339
been doing for quite some time and I refuse to give it up so now that I've

207
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:23,160
got exactly 30 grams of coffee here what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the

208
00:14:21,779 --> 00:14:28,380
back end of a spoon I'm gonna get it a little bit wet and I'm going to stir it

209
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:31,139
through the coffee beans the reason that

210
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:34,980
I'm doing this is to reduce static lots of people will use an aerosol spritzer

211
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,860
like a like a little spray bottle that's kind of a newer way of doing it this is

212
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,040
how I start it so now I'm just going to grind

213
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:53,519
The Next Step is the Brewer this is a Hario V60 it's

214
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,120
just a really common 60 degree Brewer which is why it's called the V60 inside

215
00:14:55,139 --> 00:14:59,940
there I'm going to be putting one of these filters which I'll show in a

216
00:14:58,199 --> 00:15:04,019
moment on the bottom the carafe that I have is actually a hand blown piece of

217
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,760
glass from Japan this is a pitchy server a lot of servers have trouble

218
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,899
with drips afterwards just like that cup did but this pitchy server when you pour

219
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,440
it there's no drips so I have a couple of

220
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,579
filters here today the really distinguishing part about filters is

221
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:26,220
just personal preference the ones that I like to use are these ones that have no

222
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:30,720
tab as opposed to ones like these that do have a tab generally they have less

223
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:35,339
taste I've noticed less of a paper taste in my coffee and these ones Brew pretty

224
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:38,399
slow what that means is it takes longer for the water to filter through which

225
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,720
means more extraction is happening in the chemical process and it just tastes

226
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:49,620
different and so I've adjusted my Brew generally for these these ones

227
00:15:45,959 --> 00:15:52,320
are just the same as the White Version

228
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:57,000
here except they are unbleached this is going to impart a more of a darker more

229
00:15:54,660 --> 00:16:01,199
of a papery taste on the coffee which some people like and some people don't I

230
00:15:58,620 --> 00:16:05,399
don't typically use these with a V60 I use them with a different Brewer called

231
00:16:02,459 --> 00:16:09,480
Chemex it allows for a little bit longer of a steep time all of these variables

232
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:13,680
make a difference so I'm going to take my filter and I'm just going to fold

233
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:18,959
over the edge here what this does is it allows it to stand up a little bit

234
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:21,120
better the next step is rinse out the

235
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:24,660
filter with just a little bit of boiling water it just removes some of the

236
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:28,920
articulates that would have been created in the manufacturing process it removes

237
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:34,199
some of the papery taste from the filter itself and generally it gets the Brewer

238
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:38,519
warm why that matters is you're using the energy to extract oils and lipids

239
00:16:36,660 --> 00:16:41,820
from the coffee the colder this is the more heat it's going to take while

240
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,779
you're Brewing the more that you can do to warm the Brewer up beforehand the

241
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,199
more consistent abrou you're going to get so I'm going to take my coffee

242
00:16:47,459 --> 00:16:53,100
grounds and I'm just going to dump them in the top here I have it spread in a

243
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:57,180
nice flat pattern on the bed just by shaking it there and I'm going to put it

244
00:16:55,019 --> 00:17:00,240
on my scale and tear it out or zero out the scale so it shows nothing there now

245
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:05,579
what I should do is I should show you the app that I use at the same time and

246
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:11,520
from the Labs I am very statistically minded and so I track all of the data

247
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,020
about my coffee this app is pretty

248
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,919
interesting it's called Bean conqueror it's a free to use open source app

249
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,339
developed by somebody who is dedicated to coffee for quite some time I have

250
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:26,699
been using it for I think at this point two years what I'm going to do is I'm going to type in my Brew settings here

251
00:17:23,699 --> 00:17:28,260
as well as the amount in grams of ground

252
00:17:26,699 --> 00:17:33,360
coffee that I'm going to be using here I've already preset the beans that I'm

253
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:39,120
using and I'm going to grab my Kettle and start to brew as I pour over the V60

254
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:43,799
I'm going to start the time and I'm looking on the scale here for about 70

255
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:48,179
to 80 grams of water at the bloom stage why this matters you're releasing Co of

256
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,480
two from The Roasting process you know when you have a fire and it crackles a

257
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:56,640
little bit something is escaping same thing happens with coffee we're going to leave that for about 45 seconds here

258
00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:00,299
after most of the CO2 has escaped during the bloom we're going to pour some more

259
00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:05,940
water in there you'll notice that I'm pouring quite high up the higher you go

260
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:09,600
the more agitation you can create in the bed of the coffee the more agitation you

261
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:16,200
have with a bit of coffee the more extraction you're getting from the grounds of the coffee and the more taste

262
00:18:14,220 --> 00:18:21,360
you get from the coffee itself I'm gonna let this first pour draw down and as it

263
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:26,520
gets really close to the bed of coffee sitting at the bottom I'm going to start

264
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,160
to pour over again

265
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:34,679
so this is called the Hario spiral but I'm spinning it in a spiral so as to aim

266
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:39,299
for pretty even agitation across the entire bed of coffee it's important to

267
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:44,940
make sure that when you are pouring water into the coffee you're getting all

268
00:18:42,299 --> 00:18:48,480
of that hot water mixed in with the water that has already started to

269
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:52,140
extract this is what's known as a percolation Brew new water comes and

270
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,179
filters through the bed of coffee something like an Aeropress is what's

271
00:18:54,360 --> 00:19:02,880
known as an immersion brew a percolation brew has continuous extraction with new

272
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:06,059
water whereas an immersion brew has continuous extraction with existing

273
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:09,360
water and so you're going to have an extraction rate that levels off as time

274
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:14,400
goes on and there's no real reason to use one or another I prefer to use the V60 because

275
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,280
it allows me to Benchmark coffee in a way that other Brewers can't if I get a

276
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:23,100
good Brew out of it I know that I've been very pinpoint in my accuracy we're

277
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:25,559
nearly done this Brew I have 500 grams

278
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:29,460
of water there and it's just leveling out to be fairly flat on the top of the

279
00:19:27,539 --> 00:19:33,000
bed the coffee is finished brewing and now we're going to taste it I brought a

280
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,780
number of coffee mugs here some of which are pretty important in general to

281
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:41,280
Coffee tasting to somebody who is professionally tasting coffee a

282
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:45,660
different shape coffee cup can actually impact the smell and taste of their

283
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:49,799
coffee we're just gonna pour a little bit in here not a whole lot one I'm

284
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,720
brewing I'm brewing it at 100 degrees Celsius but I want it to come down to

285
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:58,440
somewhere between 50 and 56 degrees Celsius before I drink it you can't

286
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,340
really taste very well when something is super hot so I'm just pouring a little

287
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:08,580
bit of coffee into the cup and I'm swirling it around so that I can actually get a sense of how good or how

288
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,200
bad that Brew was it smells a little bit Woody like I've

289
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:15,799
over extracted it it's not terribly over extracted

290
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:22,140
coffee tastes good I like that temperature my wife is

291
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:24,660
always just scalding I generally like you know milk or sugar in my coffee but

292
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:30,179
this is good enough but you wouldn't want to put anything in it very smooth one of the nice things about a light

293
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:34,380
roast is that it allows for you to have all of the flavors of the coffee as

294
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:38,700
opposed to having the roast be the flavor if you didn't have a consistent

295
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:44,460
coffee flavor would you over roast to kind of cover yes Starbucks

296
00:20:42,419 --> 00:20:49,679
the coffee that I've got here is pretty acidic it's generally on the lighter end

297
00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:54,000
of The Roasting Spectrum the fats the lipids the proteins in the coffee are

298
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,840
not going to be as cooked which means that you're going to taste them more

299
00:20:55,260 --> 00:21:02,340
this coffee that I've chosen is also high in acidity because that's a flavor

300
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:06,120
that I have preference for but coffee is wide and diverse and you might not like

301
00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:11,520
that some people like drinking battery acid I'm closer to that I've gone from a

302
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:13,679
place of oh Maxwell House or Folgers is

303
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:17,160
perfectly fine and I I don't really care what it tastes like to starting to work

304
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,220
in the coffee industry and starting to come out with oh I can kind of taste the

305
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:24,419
differences between some of these things and then becoming way on the other side

306
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,840
to being a complete gatekeeper oh that coffee is ooh disgusting why would I

307
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,380
taste that and then coming back kind of in the middle of being like oh this is

308
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,240
