mind today we're going to be taking a peek 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 00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:25.619 Tech and hobbies

make another one 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 00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:57.840 mentally unstable and I collect and live amongst trash 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.059 thank you the first bit of trash I would like to 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:06.240 show off today is McDonald's story heartwarming store manager training a 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 00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:18.540 mcdonaldland for the NES there's mcdonaldland for the Game Boy and 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.060 I often get asked is it any good and 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 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.280 soda one of them you flip Burgers I don't know what the other three are 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 00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:37.939 game include the ability to print off receipts using the Game Boy printer 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 00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:48.780 hardest NES game ever made it takes years to beat and you have to know every 00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:52.140 little thing happening in it and if you die you start at the beginning again 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 00:01:54.540 --> 00:02:01.079 not worth my time Pokemon Stadium you may think you have the first Pokemon 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:05.460 Stadium at home you don't do you prefer Charmander Squirtle or Bulbasaur psych 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 00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:13.200 like mini games tengen Tetris now what makes this version of Tetris interesting 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.599 is that it was made by Nintendo previously it was only made by Atari 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:20.700 e-lorg and bullet soft bullet soft later 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:24.900 went on to become the tetris company they made Tetris when you press the down 00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:30.300 button the piece spins when you press the a 00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:32.760 button it hard drops you can't soft drop 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 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 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 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.519 NES you're gonna need some sort of 60 to 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 00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.959 cloned version of the NES this Retron from hyperkin is it good 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:05.099 but it's also not trying to turn everything into HDMI and I really 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.540 appreciate that the thing that I like most about this version of Tetris though 00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:14.220 this comes from Nintendo's R D1 branch that was headed up by gunpeo Koi gunpeo 00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:19.140 Koi doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves he invented The Game and Watch 00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:22.980 he invented the Game Boy he invented the virtual boy we don't talk about that 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.360 that's why he left after he left Nintendo he went on to make the Wonder 00:03:25.019 --> 00:03:31.260 Swan a portable game console that ran off of One battery and nobody really 00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:35.400 cares about tragically he passed away in 1997 after getting into a car accident 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 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:43.739 accident the last thing I want to show are my 00:03:41.220 --> 00:03:48.000 sealed and unsealed copies of the 2019 movie Cats I have seen this movie no 00:03:46.019 --> 00:03:52.379 less than 30 times four times in theaters and every time it's in theaters 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 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 00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:04.520 people are selling like old things it looks like a piece of technology could 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.299 it be a printer what do you think it is 00:04:06.299 --> 00:04:13.260 it's an IBM p7386 portable computer there's another 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.400 term for them I saw online a very strange computer at the MCC sale the 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.299 person who is Manning the station said give us an offer and my dad said two 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 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:30.419 386 computer with a plasma flat screen 00:04:26.820 --> 00:04:32.160 from 1989 if you can believe it and 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 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 00:04:37.380 --> 00:04:42.540 here in hopes that it would be very interesting to the people who work here 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 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 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 00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:55.280 3 installed on it so let's take a look 00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.660 hey 00:05:02.340 --> 00:05:05.540 turn it off 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:13.680 oh yes the Rams booting up how much RAM 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.600 do you think it has 8K 8 megabytes eight 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.280 bags so apparently this is a pretty fast computer to be lugging around yeah so 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 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.780 little bit of tender loving care um to get it back up to snuff but this 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:31.199 is a plasma screen oh yeah this keyboard 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 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.460 feeling keyboard lots of sounds from this computer 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:23.220 sell very many of them there's one on eBay for 750 US dollars 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.520 yeah it'd be great to kind of get it working and like actually fiddle around 00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:30.539 with it more I remembered opening up Windows and just being like this is 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 00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:38.699 touch in it the cooling would be horrific you'd need like very efficient 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 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:46.620 Japan I don't know the IBM PS2 p70 or 00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:49.460 luggable computer that's what they called it luggable 00:06:50.460 --> 00:06:57.060 I brought zooms not just one zone I brought two zoons this is a reefer these 00:06:54.780 --> 00:07:01.440 things originally cost like 300 and giving them away refurbed for 75 bucks 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 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 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 00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:18.900 gigs you were getting a better value I think they were both about 300 at the 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 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:27.000 because I could store all of the illegal MP3s I had 00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:30.240 um and the other nice thing was it played video I never did that because 00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:34.380 why would you want to watch a video on this advertising stuff showed people 00:07:32.039 --> 00:07:37.800 jogging with these things which seems insane to me because it has a tiny 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 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:46.259 this is like a semi-official zoom leather case the nicest premium Naga 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 00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:54.720 with it I usually just put it in there because the only thing that protects the 00:07:51.479 --> 00:07:57.960 screen is nothing it came with a pair of 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.599 earbuds which are the worst knockoffs of 00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:03.960 the iPod headphones I've ever used and if you bought the very expensive Zoom 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 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:14.699 it to Italy with me and that was in 2010 00:08:11.699 --> 00:08:16.919 10 I had a cell phone after that and 00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:22.020 that was easier to find music content carrying two different devices and then 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:26.699 years later I was working for Best Buy and someone threw this into the 00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:31.319 recycling and I grabbed it out so this is 120 gigabytes they're basically the 00:08:29.580 --> 00:08:38.580 same form factor it's like a big chocolate bar but the Zune 120 has a 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.800 capacitive touch button that also rocks 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 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 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 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:59.580 this one is pretty much hopeless what it was sort of interesting for the time was 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:03.600 that you could share songs between zoons and you could listen to the song three 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.740 times over three days and then it disappeared off your Zoom it was kind of 00:09:05.339 --> 00:09:10.860 wild it also has Wireless syncing you didn't have to plug this into the 00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:15.959 computer you could just you could just sync it wirelessly it's just really slow 00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:17.399 because this is 802.11b I still use this 00:09:15.959 --> 00:09:21.660 in software it's the best way of downloading RSS feeds and it puts the 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 00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:30.240 itself as a player kinda sucks if you 00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:32.459 have MP3s tagged with the disk tag so 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 00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:41.880 play track one disc one then track one disc two unless you separated like 00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:45.120 physically what's neat about both of them though is that they have a built-in 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 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 00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:58.680 a neat Oddity right like so they they were never commercially successful right 00:09:56.160 --> 00:10:03.300 even when they came out people said why did Microsoft decide to enter this race 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 00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:11.339 could user upgrade the battery you can user upgrade the hard drive there are so 00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:15.120 many better ways to listen to music now today I brought a bunch of coffee stuff 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 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:23.880 and help potentially people that have never experienced coffee to experience a 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.080 good coffee setup I've got some coffee from a local 00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:31.920 roaster here in Vancouver aggro Roasters this is from the yoga chefe I honestly I 00:10:30.839 --> 00:10:37.860 don't even know if I'm pronouncing that right jurgachev a region in Ethiopia 00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:41.220 known for producing very small beans the 00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:45.300 coffee that comes from that region 00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:47.700 is very very small it has kind of a 00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:52.320 distinct roundness to it when you roast it it brings out a light acidity some 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:57.120 floral notes we're going to be attempting to bring those tasting notes 00:10:53.880 --> 00:10:59.220 out with a V60 brewer today I've also 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:03.480 brought my Aeropress it's a really wonderful way to brew coffee but it is a 00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:07.380 little bit more intensive and it's not typically what I use in the mornings so 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:12.300 I've got two kettles here today both of them you'll notice are gooseneck kettles 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 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.899 distributed very specifically within the points of the Brew so whether I'm using 00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:26.040 this Brewer or this Brewer I can aim very specifically onto the bed of the 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 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 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 00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:43.560 for coffee very much anymore I mostly use it to water plants but this one is 00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:45.240 electric it goes on this nice base here 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:49.920 and I can set it to a very specific temperature within one degree Celsius 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 00:11:52.079 --> 00:11:59.220 Grinder from Easy presso this is a very very good quality hand grinder and it's 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:03.360 pretty expensive as far as they go the reason for that is the build quality 00:12:01.079 --> 00:12:07.140 when you uh when you look into coffee grinders you can get them for 20 30 00:12:05.459 --> 00:12:11.820 bucks and they can go all the way up to thousands upon thousands of dollars the 00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:17.160 reason that it is good quality is because of the tolerances involved in 00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:20.579 its Machining it's also a fully metal 00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:24.300 Bursa what happens when you grind coffee 00:12:20.579 --> 00:12:27.120 is it has a burr here that grinds 00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:30.839 against this Burr which is just a set of metal pieces that try to crush the 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:34.260 coffee as it's being fed through by gravity or by the rotational movement of 00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:38.399 your hands this is important because this shaft is very very carefully 00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:42.060 machined when you have a grinder that's potentially cheaper it's going to have a 00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:46.200 lot more wobble and so the grounds are going to be different sizes when they 00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:52.019 come out coffee is just in general a chemical process the closer that you can 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:54.120 make a variable to a specific point the 00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:57.540 more accuracy you can have with the end result because there's a lot of 00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:01.620 variables along the process that create the outcome of coffee the reason that I 00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:05.940 use a hand grinder part of it is cost this is just affordable for somebody who 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 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 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 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 00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:26.639 and 500 grams of water which is approximately a 20 Brewery ship I've 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:31.260 also got a coffee scale here the reason that the coffee scale is important is 00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:36.240 because this has very very specific accuracy it's I believe good down to 0.1 00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:41.459 grams which is pretty tight for kitchen scales and it's also very fast it's 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:43.200 almost instant to come to these specific 00:13:41.459 --> 00:13:46.980 point of weight that's important for when I'm actually Brewing the coffee I 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 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 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 00:13:57.300 --> 00:14:04.620 next one that I make one thing that I like to do with this 00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:06.420 hand grinder is just use the Basin as a 00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:10.800 a catch bin to weigh out my coffee probably a bad habit because I'm 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:16.139 collecting coffee grounds from previous grinds but it's one that I've 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 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 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 00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:31.139 through the coffee beans the reason that 00:14:28.380 --> 00:14:34.980 I'm doing this is to reduce static lots of people will use an aerosol spritzer 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 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.040 how I start it so now I'm just going to grind 00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:53.519 The Next Step is the Brewer this is a Hario V60 it's 00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:57.120 just a really common 60 degree Brewer which is why it's called the V60 inside 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 00:14:58.199 --> 00:15:04.019 moment on the bottom the carafe that I have is actually a hand blown piece of 00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:08.760 glass from Japan this is a pitchy server a lot of servers have trouble 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:12.899 with drips afterwards just like that cup did but this pitchy server when you pour 00:15:10.920 --> 00:15:16.440 it there's no drips so I have a couple of 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.579 filters here today the really distinguishing part about filters is 00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:26.220 just personal preference the ones that I like to use are these ones that have no 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:30.720 tab as opposed to ones like these that do have a tab generally they have less 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 00:15:33.180 --> 00:15:38.399 slow what that means is it takes longer for the water to filter through which 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:42.720 means more extraction is happening in the chemical process and it just tastes 00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:49.620 different and so I've adjusted my Brew generally for these these ones 00:15:45.959 --> 00:15:52.320 are just the same as the White Version 00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:57.000 here except they are unbleached this is going to impart a more of a darker more 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 00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:05.399 don't typically use these with a V60 I use them with a different Brewer called 00:16:02.459 --> 00:16:09.480 Chemex it allows for a little bit longer of a steep time all of these variables 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 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 00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:21.120 better the next step is rinse out the 00:16:18.959 --> 00:16:24.660 filter with just a little bit of boiling water it just removes some of the 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.920 articulates that would have been created in the manufacturing process it removes 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:34.199 some of the papery taste from the filter itself and generally it gets the Brewer 00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:38.519 warm why that matters is you're using the energy to extract oils and lipids 00:16:36.660 --> 00:16:41.820 from the coffee the colder this is the more heat it's going to take while 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.779 you're Brewing the more that you can do to warm the Brewer up beforehand the 00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:49.199 more consistent abrou you're going to get so I'm going to take my coffee 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 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 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 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 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:11.520 from the Labs I am very statistically minded and so I track all of the data 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:13.020 about my coffee this app is pretty 00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:16.919 interesting it's called Bean conqueror it's a free to use open source app 00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:20.339 developed by somebody who is dedicated to coffee for quite some time I have 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 00:17:23.699 --> 00:17:28.260 as well as the amount in grams of ground 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 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 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 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 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:51.480 two from The Roasting process you know when you have a fire and it crackles a 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 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 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 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:09.600 the more agitation you can create in the bed of the coffee the more agitation you 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 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 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 00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:29.160 to pour over again 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 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:39.299 for pretty even agitation across the entire bed of coffee it's important to 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:44.940 make sure that when you are pouring water into the coffee you're getting all 00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:48.480 of that hot water mixed in with the water that has already started to 00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:52.140 extract this is what's known as a percolation Brew new water comes and 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:57.179 filters through the bed of coffee something like an Aeropress is what's 00:18:54.360 --> 00:19:02.880 known as an immersion brew a percolation brew has continuous extraction with new 00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:06.059 water whereas an immersion brew has continuous extraction with existing 00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:09.360 water and so you're going to have an extraction rate that levels off as time 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 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 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 00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:25.559 nearly done this Brew I have 500 grams 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 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 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.780 number of coffee mugs here some of which are pretty important in general to 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:41.280 Coffee tasting to somebody who is professionally tasting coffee a 00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:45.660 different shape coffee cup can actually impact the smell and taste of their 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 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 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:58.440 somewhere between 50 and 56 degrees Celsius before I drink it you can't 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.340 really taste very well when something is super hot so I'm just pouring a little 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 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:13.200 bad that Brew was it smells a little bit Woody like I've 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.799 over extracted it it's not terribly over extracted 00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:22.140 coffee tastes good I like that temperature my wife is 00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:24.660 always just scalding I generally like you know milk or sugar in my coffee but 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 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 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:38.700 opposed to having the roast be the flavor if you didn't have a consistent 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:44.460 coffee flavor would you over roast to kind of cover yes Starbucks 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 00:20:47.340 --> 00:20:54.000 of The Roasting Spectrum the fats the lipids the proteins in the coffee are 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:57.840 not going to be as cooked which means that you're going to taste them more 00:20:55.260 --> 00:21:02.340 this coffee that I've chosen is also high in acidity because that's a flavor 00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:06.120 that I have preference for but coffee is wide and diverse and you might not like 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 00:21:08.340 --> 00:21:13.679 place of oh Maxwell House or Folgers is 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 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 00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:24.419 differences between some of these things and then becoming way on the other side 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:27.840 to being a complete gatekeeper oh that coffee is ooh disgusting why would I 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 00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:36.240 my ritual this is the way that I enjoy it this is how I would like to share it 00:21:33.059 --> 00:21:38.640 to the world it's no more or less good 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:42.059 with one type of Brewer or one type of coffee than any other it's just how do 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:45.840 you like it thanks I fix it for
