    Hi there, just curious to know which screens you use for French Press and what was the ground for your choice (the coarsest available in your set or you optimised the range for yourself)? I guess you discard the fines and combine the middle tray and the boulders on top tray for brew, or only the middle tray? roughly what % of the grind you lose by sifting? thanks

    yeah the new filters increase the drawdown time. try track down the packs of 40 in cardboard boxes - not the packs of 100 in plastic bags.

    Could definitely be this - they are the newer style with tabs. Will give it a go slightly coarser and see how it goes!

    I have not had any problems with the Kruve whatsoever I have three grinders a Ceado E6 (espresso), a Barratza Encore (siphon, and French Press), and a Lido E-T (travel with a mypressi and Aeropress). I was one of the original backers and have been using since launch. I have the Sifter 12 because I make so many different types of coffee.

    I will pay attention for the next few days and see though as maybe I have not been paying enough attention. If I notice that I do have some stoppage I will post in this forum in the next few days.

    This is a feature of the newer v60 filters with the tab generally in plastic package. The old ones in boxes without tab drain much better.

    You need to compensate with a slightly coarser grind about 3.5 revolution on helor. Use water straight off the boil and pour all your water in one go faster. First pour / stir / bloom 25sec. Longer bloom times will result in getting stuck at the end.

    V60 Brewing with Kruve

    Hey All,

    I've got a V60 (one-cup) which I use alongside a Helor 101 (New toy - woohoo!) and a Kruve Sifter (400-800 μm).

    One of the biggest problems I seem to find, is that when I'm using the Kruve, the last ~50ml seems to take forever to drain, almost like the filter is blocked up. Has anyone had any similar experiences using a Kruve?

    Also, I can never get the taste to quite match what I get when I'm out (I know they have EK43's but still... somewhat close would be nice). Any pro-tips for my brews?

    Cheers,
    Scott
