The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

I've been using the the osmotic flow / slow method, but I'm interested to see what other people like.

Currently I love the James Hoffmann's 1 cup V60 using 15g/250ml ratio.

I generally don't like to overcomplicate things and keep it pretty simple. When not at home brewing just for myself my go-to method is 30g/500ml with ~50ml water 30s blooming (45s for Chemex) then pour the rest and gently swirl after a bit.

I've been using a v60 over the chemex, and I "went back to basics" and looked up Hoffman's method. I hadn't realized how "off" my coffee was. Not a drastic change, but a noticeable improvement. Like Dessalines mentioned, its a bit stronger for me, too. But I just need to tweak the ratio.

It's a good, simple method.

I've tried that one before, but for whatever reason its too damn strong for me haha.

You could try to lower the amount of coffee to something like 13-14g and see if that makes any difference.
