By stalling I mean that the flow stalls, the bed looks muddy, like excessive fines, from memory this was at around 2mins 30min. And the flow drops to a very slow drip from then. Maybe 75% of the water has gone through by that point. I have left them for 5mins or so, then I bin it.
I normally brew v60 between 3 and 5 on the Gen2 Ode, that seems to be where I am most of the time roughly aiming for a 3min 30s total time as a starter. I use the James Hoffman 2 cup recipe,
So:
30g of coffee, 64ml of water to bloom, swirl to wet all grounds
00:45 top up to 300g of total water
1:15 add the rest, topping up as the level drops.
Stir with spoon
Then when level drops enough. Give it a swirl to settle the bed.
Wait for it to drip. Total time approx. 3min30
I’m sure the method isn’t to everyone’s taste. But I’ve been using it to baseline everything. I am using Hario untabbed filters at the moment. Using the same method and a more normal grind of 3 to 5 on the Gen2, I can brew other coffees no problem. But for some reason this coffee just seems to create a lot of fines and blocks flow.
