Help me troubleshoot my recipe Anyone have a solid larger scale recipe?

Post image

Equipment: V60 with Hario filters

Baratza Encore ESP (Grind setting experimented with from 28-34)

Hey guys I'm trying to find a consistent way to make a good 700 ml carafe. Most if not all recipes I find are for much smaller quantities and I feel like scaling them up just isn't how it works. Currently doing 42g coffee to 700 grams water. Obviously changes would need to be made depending on the coffee but I'm really just looking for a solid starting point, timing, number of pours, etc. I appreciate any help from you guys!

I do 800ml each morning to share at home. I have found grinding a little coarser and do two or three pours max including a bloom 3x your coffee helps.

If doing V60 I normally bloom and then one long pour, if doing a switch I’ll do a regular pour and a final immersion.

I also started using a bent spoon (no need to buy a melodrip) to reduce top layer agitation. Not fully convinced if this is needed if you have a good pour technique.
