Super pumped for this. I use the exact setup at home with Lotus Droppers for my water. I use the Light and Bright Recipe and have added on to the 16g recipe you posted. Cheers from Louisiana!

We are trying out Lotus as well. We are adding just a drop or two of one of the minerals depending on what we feel "lacking in the coffee." What's your go-to recipe using Lotus?

Here's a recommendation for people who don't want to purchase third wave water: Buy distilled water. And then mix that distilled water with filtered tap water (I use a faucet mounted PUR filter). The mineral composition won't be *as* ideal as third wave but you can usually find out the mineral composition of your city water and use distilled water to bring down the PPM to something more appropriate

Great advice but watch the composition of your water. Often it’s too alkaline and when you mix it with the demineralised water it gets too soft. Also, if you’re already going to buy demineralised water I think it’s easier to mix a simple water concentrate at this point (like 6.2g Epsom salt and 3.4g baking soda per 200 ml of water which gives you ‘Budapest water’ IIRC) and then dilute this at 4 g/l with your demineralised water. 200 ml of such concentrate will get you 50 l of coffee water which is a lot.

For my Ode 2 users out there, assuming Patrik is using Gen 2 burrs @ 5.1, that would put the SSP burrs (assuming 5 clicks off chirp which is how they come pre-installed and how Fellow calls out in their installation guide) at about 6.1. For Ode Gen 1, that's roughly somewhere around 4.0 - 4.1.... Also, even with the new anti-static feature and the knocker, I've found retention to be pretty high, so I always dose 0.2 grams of beans higher than the recipe calls for that go into my hopper, so 13.2g for the 200g water recipe, and 16.2g for the 240g water recipe.

Love the idea of this series, it's gonna be exciting! One question though, I am looking to upgrade my grinder from Timemore C3 hand grinder. I am looking for more clarity, only do pour over. Wondering should I get flat burr (Fellow Ode 2) or conical burr (Lagom Mini/ C40/ K-Plus)? I'd like to try flat burr, but worry its retention gonna be very high and you have to purge bean everytime you switch to different bean.

Get a flat burr ode 2, it has the knocker so retention will not be an issue! Flat bur with SSP MP you'll be winning or even with the standard burrs actually

What tds do you usually aim for with third wave water? I know the recommended one is around 150 but i find that to be a bit too hard for my taste. It may just be an issue of my encore baratza not being a great grinder but I find that a somewhat lower tds gives me much more clarity and sweetness.

@@coffeewithapril I think it’s very valuable if you can take notes and have a comparison with roast profiles of other roasters compared to yours and see if most other roasters require mostly slower pours and that 8-10 g/s is only for your coffee. Would it be reasonable say if we have other coffee, it’s much better to start at 6 grams per second like on your video?
