really there is a difference.  V60 box vs 100s confused.gif

I thought the there is only old filter & new filter (with tab) which flows slower.

That's the general wisdom. Untabbed, boxed, 40's is the best apparently.

Plastic all the way. Cheaper and harder to break. Even if break, cheap to replace

Depends on your serving and to a point your brewing style. 01 for single or two cups. 02 works for 1 cup too of course, and can be used to serve larger servings too. In the end, guess it depends on your preference, but either would be fine

Worth to note that with 01, you're able to pour closer to the brew bed.

Ah yeah that's true too. Well pouring closer vs higher has their merits. To each their own I guess. But need to take into account under "skills and recipes"

That reminds me. Tried to make a few brews using the W60 using normal V60 method(s) and that dripper is just too tall. The best distance for agitation is too close for the gooseneck kettle, which makes me have to pour a bit higher which just destroys the bed

What are your thoughts on the W60, mind sharing?

To be honest I only bought it to use the ceramic dripper more than the mesh filter. Not a fan of non-paper filters because of how much fines get into the final brew. But maybe one day I'll try it out

Some observations from it though :
- the mesh filter is soft and probably made of plastic. Reminds me of those mosquito nettings you use, but finer. Most probably won't affect the taste, but will definitely affect longevity
- looks like they are finer than metal filters, but not 100% sure on this. If true, the it'll be cleaner than metal filters
- the flat bottom dripper won't automatically make it able to brew Kalita filters unfortunately due to it being pretty shallow
- the ceramic dripper is massive. Bigger than a 02. So heating it up is a lot harder
- the shape of the dipper is interesting to me because like Origami, the paper lies on the lines and doesn't touch the wall, but unlike the Origami, it's like a spiral. The curvy shape of it actually means the lines inside to be higher than standard V60. Could be used to experiment in if water flow affects rate of extraction or drawdown time

The only thing that prevents me from using it is my grinder, which is the Kinu. It's a damn great grinder, but as many as said online, the fines can be quite a bit, which I do not want to have in my final brew. If I had a EK43 or even a Comandante or a machine with SSP Unimodal, then I'd be more confident in trying it out

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the W60. Based on that, I'll skip it for now. Don't really think I need another brew device. Anyway, regarding the Kinu, I'd have thought that a Kinu would produce less fines than your typical run of the mill hand grinder. Which model do you have, the Classic?

I heard of our local coffee produced in Sabah called Sabarica. May I know if anybody tried it before?

I tried the Sabarica roasted by Supernomal Coffee Roasters. It was nice. Recommended.
