00:01
hey this is barrett with portakeeper
00:03
and one of my comments on youtube was
00:07
they're a little bit afraid that this
00:09
turn might be
00:10
a little bit messy they're wanting me to
00:12
compare it
00:14
with the raw strip droplet technique
00:17
and if you're not familiar with it
00:19
there's a couple different ways to do it
00:21
i used to use this chopstick method
00:22
where you took a chopstick
00:24
and say this is a chopstick and you get
00:26
it wet and you stir your grounds with it
00:28
and just a little bit of moisture
00:30
makes a big difference since then i've
00:32
picked up a small spray bottle
00:34
not a big fan of this one it's a little
00:36
bit big they sell these just real small
00:38
ones
00:39
and that's kind of cool you can have it
00:41
just handy on your counter
00:42
and you don't need much spray at all and
00:45
i'll show you a little bit
00:46
later i think what i want to do
00:50
is just do a quick comparison of
00:52
espresso
00:54
without water we're going to do pour
00:57
over
00:58
without water and then we're gonna do
01:00
one more
01:01
as pour over with a little bit of
01:04
water spray it on top of the beans so
01:08
i have these good brothers ethiopian
01:10
these are the bomb
01:11
make sure to check them out
01:14
and i'm going to weigh out i'm just
01:17
going to do maybe 10 grams
01:19
because all we're really looking at is
01:24
mess
01:26
now let's do 18. let's just make it like
01:28
we're doing a shot
01:31
this is too late to be drinking a lot of
01:33
coffee so
01:45
there we're at 18. we're on espresso
01:49
right now
01:50
i'm on setting 12. i had it dialed down
01:52
a little bit for
01:53
these guatemalan also from good brothers
01:55
that i was using this weekend
01:56
been really enjoying them and let's just
01:59
grant it out
02:10
i want to get to the end use the bellow
02:14
it's usually that final poof
02:18
that makes a little bit of a mess on the
02:19
counter i'm going to move the camera
02:21
real quick just to show you
02:23
and you can see there's just a little
02:25
bit on the counter it's just real small
02:28
and i mean all grinders do that so
02:31
i wouldn't be too worried about that and
02:36
i'm just gonna dump it smells amazing i
02:39
hate to dump it
02:41
but we're just trying to do a quick
02:42
comparison here so
02:45
what we're gonna do actually is change
02:48
it to setting 65.
02:49
and it's best if you do it while it's
02:53
running
02:53
when you're going coarser it's not a big
02:55
deal but i like to
02:57
turn it on a little bit make sure
02:58
there's not any chunks in there just big
03:00
chunks
03:02
and i'm actually going to set it on
03:03
setting 65.
03:05
so real quick i want to show you
03:08
something cool
03:11
and as i've been messing with this turn
03:14
on the front there's a line it's a
03:17
little bit hard to see
03:19
if we can see it a little line right
03:21
there and that corresponds with the
03:23
setting
03:25
so i i don't know i'm struggling with it
03:28
a little bit
03:29
so what i ended up doing was making this
03:31
ring
03:34
and you can see it's really easy to
03:37
follow where the setting is so make sure
03:40
to check back
03:42
um i don't really have much info on that
03:45
at the moment
03:46
but definitely check back and i'll have
03:48
a lot more cool stuff about that here
03:50
soon
03:52
so i am going to do 18 grams
03:56
same way
04:05
except on setting 65.
04:09
so with the espressos it's pretty dang
04:11
clean i think so
04:17
i showed you guys the other day my less
04:19
than a dollar
04:20
paintbrush that i like it cleans things
04:22
up let's try to get this as clean as
04:24
possible before we
04:26
grind
04:29
[Music]
04:35
and make sure this is pretty empty
04:39
and now we're grinding no moisture no
04:42
water
04:42
on setting 65.
04:57
and you can tell it's quite a bit
05:00
messier
05:01
it has a lot of chaff
05:05
and it's stuck to the side and it's all
05:06
chaff it's not so much grounds it's
05:08
chaff
05:09
i mean it comes right off
05:12
but it's a mess
05:14
[Music]
05:19
so let's get this cleaned up real quick
05:22
and we're gonna do it again with the
05:24
ross
05:24
droplet technique rdt you can google it
05:28
there's a couple different methods
05:31
chopstick it works pretty good i don't
05:34
think it gets quite enough water in
05:36
but you really don't want a ton of water
05:37
because you don't want all that moisture
05:39
sitting on
05:40
those burrs really or getting down into
05:43
your bearings
05:44
so it doesn't take much
05:53
okay
05:56
let's do 18 more
06:00
so if we're going to use our trick this
06:04
time and this is true for about any
06:07
grinder
06:08
it's much of a better technique for
06:10
single dosing
06:12
like this super jolly it's pretty messy
06:15
but for the most part the way that i
06:17
have it set up it doesn't make that big
06:19
of a mess for me
06:21
but doing something like this would help
06:22
out a lot so
06:24
really what we're doing here and i'll
06:26
try to show you
06:28
there's like a little tiny spray we're
06:29
talking that's too much
06:34
a little bit and
06:37
let's see
06:42
[Music]
06:43
kind of get your beans wet
06:48
and oh lost a few
06:50
[Music]
06:51
so they're really not wet i mean if you
06:53
look at them they're completely dry in
06:55
there
06:57
but that little bit of moisture is going
06:58
to help us a lot
07:01
so let's give it one more go
07:06
clean it all up maybe that scale out of
07:10
the way
07:11
let's just try to make sure it's as
07:12
clean as possible
07:15
and one last time setting 65 with the
07:19
rdt method
07:21
[Music]
07:24
it's coming out a lot less crazy
07:28
you're seeing a little bit more chaff
07:29
coming out before
07:32
um you still have some on the counter
07:36
but they're bigger pieces
07:37
and i attribute that mostly to the
07:41
bellows
07:42
so maybe if i wasn't so as aggressive
07:45
with the bellows it wouldn't come out as
07:46
far
07:47
but really what i'm looking at here is
07:49
there's not as much chaff on the side i
07:50
have a little bit on these forks
07:53
a little bit of the back and a little
07:55
bit on the chute
07:56
so if i needed to clean this up i'm
07:59
going to show you
08:00
a little bit closer
08:03
you can see it's a lot bigger pieces
08:07
but if i needed to clean this up it's
08:09
going to be much faster
08:10
we're going to take a quick look at that
08:11
so let's dump these
08:14
brood our shot and into the day
08:18
just give it a little bit of a clean up
08:22
i do this with about all my grinders
08:24
anyway even like my adam 75
08:29
definitely the super jolly i have a k30
08:32
that i've been using that
08:34
it's not bad most of the grounds
08:37
actually fall into the grounds tray
08:40
so it stays pretty clean but i mean
08:41
that's all that we're getting we're not
08:42
getting
08:43
that much and most of it i'd say
08:47
a lot of us chaff the bigger pieces are
08:49
grounds
08:51
but that's not bad and we're on a course
08:54
setting
08:55
you're probably going to be doing more
08:56
like 20 to 24 grams if you're doing a
08:59
v60
09:02
aeropress i usually run about 20 lately
09:05
depends on the beans but
09:08
that would probably be my suggestion
09:11
would be to get i'd try to find a little
09:14
bit better bottle
09:15
i really don't need this that much this
09:16
didn't is pretty clean
09:18
i had this more when i was using a
09:20
baratza the
09:21
is extremely staticky huge mess so
09:26
a lot of my grinders are a little bit
09:28
cleaner this one's just a little bit
09:29
messier but
09:30
the big difference is this is made i'd
09:33
say more for
09:34
espresso as well as dreb
09:38
and for me i'm using this for my drip i
09:41
really don't use anything else this is
09:43
so great
09:44
it's not that good for espresso and then
09:46
i use a dedicated espresso grinder so
09:48
when you're moving it both ways having
09:51
a grinder that can not be super messy
09:54
and also grind really good it's gonna be
09:56
a little bit more difficult so
09:58
again let me know if you have any more
10:00
questions about this and i'll try to
10:01
address them in
10:02
a future video thanks for watching
