welcome to my coffee station
could you tell that it was mine what
gave it away
fixes tiny rabbit figurine touches
sailor moon tray pat's tiny rabbit hi
kirby
so the basics of what you're going to
need is a hand dripper and a filter now
anyone who's made coffee before knows
that this is the same kind of thing
you'd have in a normal coffee machine
right just a little more deconstructed
so we've got my cup which is basically
you know though the coffee oh gosh i
can't say this words you guys cariffy
carafe what's the container that catches
the coffee anyways that's what this is
this is the filter basket right goes on
top and this is the filter that you
normally put inside of it
right
like that so it's the same thing as a
automatic coffee dripper it's simply
that we're doing it manually so this is
my travel hand dripper it's just plastic
it's fry hario which is a famous
japanese brand they do lots of coffee
stuff i also have a ceramic version of
these but if it's your first time to get
into hand dripping you don't need to go
all out and buy all the you know
expensive stuff this guy i love because
i can just like toss it in a bag and i
don't worry about it breaking of course
you need a paper filter when you see
this little fold here you're going to
open it up so that it kind of creates
like a little bend you know like work
mark mark like that and this fold is
going to go against where your handle is
so that's easy to remember just goes in
like that and that's it
oh i know i'm right in the middle of
filming a video you guys but i just got
an alert for the new barvel movie
trailer you guys don't mind if we just
watch it right

[Music]
[Applause]
we gotta go
[Music]
so
[Music]
what an amazing trailer oh that's
awesome man who would have ever thought
astronauts coming from space it's crazy
coffee bean time i do use whole bean
coffee um these ones are from red
rooster coffee they actually were
shipped to me from trade coffee as you
guys know um i work with trade coffee
which is awesome i have a freaking
coffee sponsor [ __ ] whoever would have
thought it's the dream anyhow i got
distracted there the reason i'm going to
recommend you to try out whole beans for
the first time if you haven't already is
because first of all coffee beans aren't
beans they're cherry pits the cherry is
dried and removed and inside of it is
the pit which we know as a coffee bean
coffee beans aren't even beans like for
the longest time didn't you think that a
coffee bean was a bean because i did a
kidney bean or like a chickpea or
something but no they actually are the
inside pit of a cherry and every single
one of these cherries when they're grown
around the world has grown different
soil different weather conditions you
know different rain different sun and so
if you want to talk about things like
terroir the same goes with things like
coffee beans so coffee beans are unique
to the region they're from so if you
want to really honor the taste of the
soil and the water and the air and the
people getting a whole coffee bean which
is still kind of like fresh and oily and
flavorful and grinding it means that
you're going to be getting the taste of
the land and the bean and the unique
flavors if you get a cheap vanilla ice
cream you're not going to taste notes of
like madagascar vanilla but if you treat
yourself and get something a little bit
higher quality that's made with a whole
cream and with eggs and it's custardy
it's going to taste different i say give
it a go get yourself a bag of whole bean
coffee back to your home baby beans
because i use whole beans i do have a
coffee grinder this one is a super
simple one i think i've had it since
korea it's just one where you you pop it
in and then you just push the button and
it goes like round
round like an angry freaking cat car you
can also apparently grind things in here
like cinnamon and nutmeg and like hard
herbs hard herbs hard um
herbs it is not in my opinion the best
coffee grinder because it can be a bit
uneven so you'll have some pieces that
are bigger and smaller and that's not
the best but it's really good as a
starter and i also travel with it still
as well i have like a little bag where i
travel with my stuff so that if i'm
staying at a place for like a month then
that way i have something with me to
grind things up freshly four big
tablespoons of coffee this is my
amazing coffee scoop that i got from a
fan ages ago look it's swedish you can
tell from the swedish house
i say don't worry
about a thing
cause every little thing
is gonna be all right
and i feel like an infomercial where i'm
like and then one two three presses so i
want this to be not super duper fine and
chalky otherwise it'll be too thick and
sludgy what i said sludgy nut spudgy
ghost spudgy okay sorry of course but
not chunky
how do you explain it let's just give it
a go
so there's still some like chunky pieces
i'm gonna go a little bit longer
[Music]
oh it smells so good can you feel the
power oh yeah
i can feel the power and oh
what's this this is my coffee brush it
is from the dollar store it is just a
thick bristled brush freak brick a fake
brishel brush into brushed at fake
richard people at home going martina
hell no am i gonna brush down my coffee
machine okay you know what i've told you
before
this is some delightful ladder building
activity for me i like the process and i
know those of you who have
kids and and live in other situations
where you don't have time for this i
know once in a while once in a while it
might be nice to just
treat yourself to a nice hand drip
coffee you know what
don't clean the the coffee machine
afterwards if you don't want to treat
yourself
this is a coffee drip scale you do not
need one of these okay when i first
started hand dripping i just hand
dripped with a little tiny timer to try
to figure it out the reason why people
use this is because it helps you kind of
get precision to understand okay if i
use a cup of hot water and i use a
tablespoon of coffee how will my coffee
taste so it's kind of like doing a wild
scientific experiment and i love this
because i love doing science fair
projects when i was a kid i was like a
science fair project champ
name that song an artist you put on your
mug that you're going to use which
weighs a lot then you put on this on top
of it
and then you
change it back to zero and then you can
weigh out the coffee that you're using
and i go for
20 grams of coffee if you don't have a
scale you are fine it's about four
heaping tablespoons but
perhaps you do like hand dripping coffee
well then might i recommend a little bit
of a goose nosed kettle goose nosed wait
a second
goose neck kettle goose neck martina
this is not an electric kettle okay this
is just a plain old empty vessel if you
will and the reason why people use this
when hand dripping is because flow is so
precise so when i pour with it it's not
just like
a huge amount of water do you need this
no
have i hand drip coffee without it a
thousand times i have sat in a hotel
room before and been like
i have even used a craig carriggy
kreger's hot water dispenser and hand
dripped using the the water so you don't
need this but it is quite helpful if you
start to kind of move your way up the
enjoyment of hand drip ladders and you
go yeah i really want something a bit
more precise this this is what the baby
you want warning
the entire thing is
scalding hot once you pour hot water in
it this becomes a beacon of hell when
you put it on and you go to touch it
afterwards i cannot tell you the amount
of times i've been like
so i always keep with me this like a
cute little hand towel and then that way
i remind myself to
pull the lid off this way um so that i
don't
scald myself to death it's just so cute
and a and
a side note story my mom and i watched
all the ghibli movies and um she loves
torturo she thinks he's totally
and she did not know why i had so much
stuff in the house that was covered in
totoro and these little sprites and now
she's like i understand it all martina
and i'm like excellent she thought it
was awesome miyazaki even even my mom
loves it and she liked hal's moving
castle and she thought spirited away was
a little scary and i'm like it was but
it was also awesome we're gonna pour our
hot water in here which is gonna number
one rinse the paper filter taste away
and number two it's gonna warm up our
mug beautifully so that our mug is nice
and warm and ready to go so let's go
ahead and pop our kettle on and get this
this puppy started while the cutter cut
header while the ketter's boiling
unceremoniously while that is dripping
through i am going to take my
hinge kettle and i'm gonna fill it with
water now there are a lot of people in
the coffee world that talk about the
importance of temperature because it's
true really really really really hot
water will burn your coffee beans
burnt beans
and then the coffee will taste bitter
because it's just too too too hot but by
the time i finish
washing my filter warming up my cup
putting this here scooping in the coffee
it's about the right temperature to stop
hit to start uh hand dripping so i'm not
too concerned about that it's gone
through now
and i'm going to just dump my water in
the sink
my cup is nice and warm one
two
oh it smells so
good three
i'm bringing mine to 20.
no why'd you embarrass me in front of my
friends anyways there you have it i'm
gonna give it a little bit of a
shake down to even it up and then i'm
going to reset it again back to zero i'm
going to be dripping to about
220 230 grams of hot water so the first
thing we're going to do is add a little
bit of hot water to just wet the coffee
and we need it to start blooming and
what that means is this coffee this is
like a science thing see how it's
bubbling so the hot water goes on at
first it allows it to degas bubbles will
come out we want it to bloom that's when
it like looks all brown and gorgeous and
caramelly i give it like 30 seconds of
thinking about what it's done in life
and shame on you and then i start the
actual hand dripping process we're
looking to take about two minutes
maybe three minutes to get all my water
down to 220 grams of hot water set your
iphone and be like two minutes or your
android or whatever and just take your
time kind of dripping it maybe you just
want to drip it to halfway through the
cup or something our goal is to not add
any water to the edges we're not trying
to wash down the edges and the reason
why is that this is covered in ridges
and the ridges are actually lifting up
this filter a little bit from touching
it so when you pour the water you want
to be kind of pouring it around here ish
i've seen people zigzag as well but you
don't want to go on the edges or the
water is going to rush down the side
directly into your cup and you're not
going to get any delicious coffeeness
out of it at all i'm going to start my
timer and we're going to start our
little circles
you know what song i've had in my head
for the entire week and i don't know why
but now i'm gonna get it in your head
stop right now thank you very much i
need somebody with a nothing touch hey
you always on the run gotta slow
[Music]
i don't know why it happened i'm not
sure what's going on i think it's
because my niece is going to art camp
and when i used to when i was in grade 9
10 i was part of parks and recreation
which is like day camps for
people in toronto and we had a what's it
called when you at the end of the year
when you like get on stage and like
put together like a song and a dance and
the girls in my group who were little
little kids and spice girls was trendy
they really wanted to do spice girls and
i was in my like severe um you know
alternative rock heavy metal stage like
we're talking death tones corn limp
biscuit when they first came out like
you know we're we're not like into the
into the spice girls however
for the sake of being a camp counselor i
didn't i did it and i did the whole
dance and they dressed me up and i did
it with them
[Music]
yeah so i i think it just kind of
brought back some memories for me
just
shaking it up a bit
gonna get a copyright strike
215 grams i'm at 2 minutes and 14
seconds i've reached my capacity for how
much i want to hand drip now i'm gonna
move this off to the side
and i'm not gonna burn my hand off and
that is pretty much it do this the first
time ever you're going to have a million
things happen to you you're going to
have your coffee taste like crap it's
going to be burnt it's going to be not
burnt it's going to have no flavor
there's going to be a million things and
luckily for you
you have the internet the magical
magical internet which will help you out
with any of your problems um but it's
kind of fun it's like a science
experiment you know like you you get to
learn new things and
and try new adventures and
yeah that's my that's my story
hi yeah into the sink
stop
right now oh damn it you guys i thought
i was free all right now
let me get to my spoon give it a bit of
a stir to make sure all the flavors came
together
um
yummy looking
smells so good
oh
oh that is a good coffee
this has so many flavors in it it's
caramelly at the very very end of my
mouth i'm tasting the tiniest bit of
tartness if you get other coffees you
might have tartness as being the
forefront like for example might be a
very lemony coffee i'm not into coffees
that tend to be stronger on the lemony
front so i prefer a citrus taste such as
a granny smith apple which is not a
citrus i'm aware of that but when you
talk about coffee and you talk about the
different kinds of tartness oh god i'm
doing it again i'm ranting about nerdy
coffee stuff thank you so much to trade
coffee for sponsoring this video i have
this coffee bean bag i have another bag
of coffee beans and i have one more bag
to go through yum now that is a
delightful coffee you're coming with me
