  • Neru/sock pourover thread

    i got mine today from jack at sorrentina! along with my replacement parts for my syphon filter !

    brewed a quick cup with it using vella neros designer blend on a finer than drip grind. Used a longnecked teapot with boiling water to pour and followed yeezas tutorial !


    the result?

    Its good

    Much cleaner than the plunger with no sediment and all the sweet fruity tastes come out well!

    brewed a second cup and it wasnt too good cos i overextracted the coffee. I think i might have been overly optimistic on being able to make a full 2 cups with the sock.

    The first was closer to 1 1/3 cups, But i will prolly just cut it short and dose the same till i get it perfectly right. better safe than sorry i guess !

    anyone else played with one yet ? i cant wait to try out some more beans on this thing !

    Mine arrived this week and it really is a clean cup. I took Yeezas model and actually ground quite course and the whole thing was very impressive. I would have to say this is my fav method at present. I get 300ml from the smaller sock and its probably close to max IMO with the bloom effect at the start coming up quite high.

    Enjoy

      im finding it hard to go past around 240mls cos the coffee starts getting too weak afterwards. This is with the 1-2cup brewer and roughly 20grams of coffee. Been also letting it bloom/infuse at the start for abt 10-20s now, it helps alot with the flow imo

      been playing around with the grind lately as well ! im finding that i am grinding coarser on brighter fruitier beans to get the sweetness and going coarser on the darker beans to get the body

      how are u storing ur sock ? im just giving it a good wrinse and pouring boiling water over it but its already beginning to stain

        Give it a rinse in caffetto every so often. I guess you could put it in the wash with whites?

          I rinse immediately with hot water then soak in Oxy clean for 30-60 minutes then rinse in hot, pat dry firmly and store in fridge (stays white).
          22gms coffee to 300ml, let bloom for 30 seconds then slow pour about 1 minute then another 20-30 to filter through. I will be adjusting grind to slow the brew process a bit after watching James Hoffman recommending 4 mins total brew process time with Chemex.

          Just keep experimenting as you are and youll hit your own sweet spot for each SO etc.

            I wash it in Cafetto EVO when it gets bad. It seems to be the goods. I rinse it in hot water right away, sometimes boil is if its bad, then fridge it in a zip lock bag. I washed it with detergent once and NEVER again.... unless you like the taste of soap in your coffee. Theres a lot of comments around warning against this. Oxy clean seems to be the goods though too.
