Can someone buy it and summarize what he says?
I have the hardcover, it talks about a ton of different brew styles (French Press, Pour Over, Espresso, etc...) breaks down brew times, brew ratios, water temperature, etc...etc...for each brew type. As someone who makes coffee in a bunch of different ways and has trouble remembering the ratios, I appreciate the hardcover!
I read this pretty thoroughly and these are my key takeaways. 1. The author likes to grind his beans. If you put in whole beans, it's just not gonna work well. 2. Author recommends hot water.
I'll save you the 2 dollars. The answer: hand pour with a Chemex
Grind your own beans, even not great beans make darn good coffee
get water temp right.
I bought an Encore burr grinder and Mochmaster with stainless insulated carafe. I will put my coffee up against 90% of the best coffee shops out there, is it perfect, no but it is really freaking good with minimal additional cost or hassle.
Some people still prefer gathering information via the written word over video.
True, I'm more of an audio person than written. So youtube works for me because I don't need to watch it, just listen. But at this price it's not worth buying the audio book (if there is one haven't check yet) over this book.
But the book would have written numbers you can replicate (hopefully) vs having to remember or write down the numbers when watching YouTube.
So thanks for your input and giving me a new perspective. Repped
Been watching this guy's content since covid. I'm all in on his knowledge of this space and will be looking for a hardcover. If you haven't seen one of his videos you don't really "know" coffee.
