Killer Coffee

Killer Coffee

I have been using killer coffee for the last few weeks and the website and Facebook seem to want you to use a Aeropress. I used the aeropress firstly with 2 different metal filters and the coffee was bitter but super strong. I then tried the paper filter which actually helped with the bitterness but I was still not happy with the flavors. I moved onto the pourover and that did the job, the coffee had no bitterness but was still strong but very smooth. I thought while I have this week off I will make a clever dripper. I use the chemex paper instead of the melitta paper filters and I am happy with its results.

First you put the paper in the clever dripper then fill it half way with hot water. Swirl it around the rinse the rest of the paper. I just leave the hot water in there to heat it up.

I used 13grams of coffee. I  empty out the water then grind the coffee.

I put the coffee in the clever dripper and slowly pour in about 60mls of hot water (90 degrees) and put on the timer, give it soft stir then pour in about 80mls give it one more stir.

I fill it up with 300mls of water.

At about 2min 50 I put it on the Hario glass pourer

It was a great coffee and I really enjoy the coffee more with paper filters. I need to start trying different coffees and that was what this blog was about right Coffee :)

Cafflano Klassic - My New Travel Buddy

Cafflano Klassic - My New Travel Buddy

When i go on holiday i would normally take my Hario v60 or Aeropress,  my hand grinder and my scale but this time it was different as i had seen the Cafflano online and i really wanted one so i contacted them and found out i could get some in Seoul.  The company was amazing and organised some to get delivered to my accommodation as i was buying a few for friends and family The unit ways about 600 grams so it is light. The great thing is it is B.P.A free so you won't get all those nasty chemicals from plastic bottles.  I did not know what to expect from this unit as i read and watched some reviews on it. I used it everyday for 3 weeks and was happy with the results.  I will also do a video in coming weeks but i wanted to do this one now.

The thing i love about this is it is a all-in-one unit which there is no other like it.

The lid is the pourer and it has a removable lid in the top. Under the lid is the grinder which folds into itself and locks into the tumbler for easy grinding.

Under the grinder is the mesh filter.

The filter sits in the tumbler. I tried using it without filter paper but cleaning it took a while so i use a paper filter in it.  I put the filter in it then rinse it with hot water. After it is wet the paper folds down the side then the grinder twists and locks in place and holds the paper down.

I used 13 grams of coffee but there is lines on the side as measurements.

It takes a few minutes to grind but the burr grinder does a good job and i am happy with its consistency.

I am still working on the grams to seconds but it is roughly 30 grams of water to 30 seconds. If there is any water at the 2 minute mark i use the rest.  I use 250mls of water in total.

It takes about 3 minutes to do the full filter but i am extremely happy with the results.

The coffee was full bodied and had no bitterness.

It is such a great little unit and i will take it overseas from now on.

Do you have one and what do you think?

Kind regards

Our friend had been here and told us the wait outweighs the food and coffee. But other friends wanted to go anyway so why not?

They arrived at 9:30 to wait for a table for 10 am. We arrived at 10 am and there was a huge wait outside. Thank goodness they had gotten a table inside.

They have a great selection of coffees, we got two pour overs and they where good.

 I took a photo of the alcohol menu not the food menu lol

The food was good and so was the coffee, It was nice for a change but i would not go back especially for the wait times. There was over an hour wait when we left.

How long would you wait for a table?
