Another day, another deal from Sensory Lab!

From the Facebook post/ad:

We're treating you to a perfect breakfast this weekend!
Receive 250g of our Seamless Blend (espresso) AND a 250g bag of La Bella, Guatemala* + 1 x Hario V60 kit (filter cone and papers) for $22 (including Startrack shipping).
*La Bella, Guatemala can be roasted for either espresso or filter. Please specify when choosing the product.
**Ships in whole bean format.

You'll need a grinder, and a set of scales/measuring jug if you end up using the v60.

What's a v60 pour over? How to make it? here's a snazzy tutorial

    Great find.

  • lyl-Lychee on 26/11/2016 - 21:54

    Haven't even started on the first offer lol.
    That plastic Hario V60 though, is anyone else a bit concerned about the boiling water and BPA leeching?
    Wish it was the ceramic one :/

    • yojabbajabba on 26/11/2016 - 21:59

      The v60s are BPA free.
      Can't find the evidence for this on the official Hario websites, but this shop mentions it. Amazon also mentions the BPA free-ness)

      • lyl-Lychee on 26/11/2016 - 22:33

        Thanks for that. Even so, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to heat and plastic.
        If I get this, would probably gift away the v60 to someone a little less paranoid than myself.

          Go to a decent brew bar and they will be using this same V60. I have been using this same one for year with no issues.

    • ilikeit on 26/11/2016 - 22:27

      Try Aliexpress.

      You dont use boiling water on coffee.

      Each brew method will be different but maximum temp you would want is between 93-96 celcius. Some even as low as 78 celcius.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 26/11/2016 - 21:58

    Would be nice if they could offer a premade kit ready to go (include grinder)

    • Untameable on 27/11/2016 - 21:09

      Ditto! I use a Nespresso machine. If someone wants to convert me I'd need a whole kit of everything I need.

  • zonbie on 26/11/2016 - 22:03

    Thanks Op. Just bought one. Didn't even know I needed one!

    Anyone used this for cold brew?

    • DeToxin on 26/11/2016 - 23:18
      +1

      Not a v60, but I've used a batch Brew machine, then chilled it down before serving over ice. The coffee doesn't end up quite as clear as with cold brew and has a distinctly different flavour profile but it's still delicious and only needs half an hour to prep, as opposed to a good few hours. Using a v60 wouldn't be too different.

    • furythree on 28/11/2016 - 15:59

      Poor Mans cold brew

      coarsely grind beans

      get a glass jar

      add cold water + grinds

      pour out into another container/jar with a gauze like towel (or buy some coffee filters)

      Repeat a few times to get rid of excess grinds

      Leave it in the fridge so that the sediment of excess grinds falls to the bottom

      use a ladle to gently scoop out cupfuls of cold brew.

      optionally add ice/milk/icecream and enjoy

  • kulprit on 26/11/2016 - 22:18

    What is the roast difference between espresso and filter?

    • lakes_8 on 26/11/2016 - 23:50

      espresso roasts are usually darker, depends on what you plan to use for.

  • simmy on 26/11/2016 - 22:19

    still need to buy a grinder for the previous deal.

    does anyone know where i can grab a well-priced hario skerton ceramic grinder?

    • rgr on 26/11/2016 - 22:47

      it's $40 aud on amazon excl. shipping

      https://www.amazon.com/Hario-Skerton-Ceramic-Coffee-Mill/dp/…

      just click on the price offer by amazon under 'other sellers'

    • neofelis on 27/11/2016 - 08:04

      I wouldnt be buying an espresso grinder for pour over, it will give you rocks.

      You want an ek43 or similar. These are $2000+ though.

      So buy a hand grinder, buy the C40 MKIII Nitro Blade Comandante Hand Grinder is an amazing grinder.

      • yojabbajabba on 27/11/2016 - 10:36
        +2

        Haha… ek43!

        If you want a good starter all around grinder that can do filter and espresso I'd recommend a Breville BCG820 smart grinder.

  • bargainshooter on 26/11/2016 - 22:20
    +6

    A grinder is useful (obviously), but do you really need scales for a pour over? You're making coffee, not nitroglycerin…

    • tanabe88gg on 27/11/2016 - 00:25
      +2

      It isn't compulsory but it can really help with consistency. I just use a cheap one from ebay. While you're at it if get a thermometer too

    • neofelis on 27/11/2016 - 08:05

      Yes, you NEED scales for a pour over and a timer. Its all about in and out ratios.

  • jonnoyeo on 26/11/2016 - 22:51

    great price even if it were just for beans alone. I've never used a V60 so good excuse to get into it! :)

  • grababargain on 26/11/2016 - 23:50

    Good deal. But the deal with the 3 x 250gm coffee delivered for $16 a fortnight ago was better imo.

  • Shiny Mew on 27/11/2016 - 00:13

    How much cheaper does this work out to be per serve compared to your average instant coffee?

    • Greg123 on 27/11/2016 - 13:45
      +1

      No idea how much instant coffee costs you, but from the linked tutorial they suggest 26 g for a single serve, so a little over $1/serve (assuming no value for the V60). For refills you can buy cheaper beans from the supermarket for roughly half that, so maybe 60c/serve. But I think if you're comparing on just price to instant coffee you're kind of missing the point of real coffee.

  • jacknthebeanstalk on 27/11/2016 - 01:29

    Good coffee but please be aware some of their bags may arrive not fully sealed. This may affect the taste and shelf life of the beans. They were nice enough to send another bag.

  • Shiny Mew on 27/11/2016 - 07:46

    How often do new paper filters need to be purchased?

    • neofelis on 27/11/2016 - 08:07

      After you've used them. 1 paper filter does 1 cup of coffee. You'll also need a gooseneck kettle, the water from any other pouring vessle will cause dents in the coffee.

  • klonky on 27/11/2016 - 08:04

    Can you get enough coffee for 2 people through one pour over?

    • neofelis on 27/11/2016 - 08:09
      +1

      There are 2 cup versions but im sure these kits are the $10 hairo starter kits.

      The $10 kits include
      Paper filters
      Clear v60
      Jug
      Manual

      So its 1 cup only.

      • klonky on 27/11/2016 - 08:18

    Now for a half decent grinder without breaking the bank.
    Does the above Hario skerton suit this or is there something better suited for the price ?

          With an aeropress/any paper filter I use 5-clicks from closed. Mesh filters (like French press) I use 9-click.

      They don't stock unfortunately. I picked up the last of the Hario Buono gooseneck kettles from them yesterday. Wifey's staff discount was helpful!

      May I suggest Plantation in Melbourne Central. They have the grinder and they're part of the Amex shop small deal. If you're quick, you can get $10 off today!

    Plastic, no thanks! Don't think it is a harmless idea for something you would incorporate into your daily routine. If only using a few times then I wouldn't worry.

    • yojabbajabba on 27/11/2016 - 23:39

      It's bpa free. I don't the logic?

      • ChurchMouth on 28/11/2016 - 10:54

        BPA is just one of the ones we have shown to be bad. BPA for many years was considered food safe, go figure! Leaching will always occur - Some materials to a lesser extent (glass etc).

          @kulprit: Meant to say size two - there is a smaller version designed for only 2cups. I'm glad I got the larger one
