From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 142 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

Sparse signal

Confidence1 of 7 signals on file

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 5% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 70.0 shrunk to 52.5 + bonuses = 57.

Flat Bottom Dripper Showdown: April vs Simplify vs Timemore B75

The Coffee Chronicler · 35.9K views on YouTube

Watch on YouTube

This video covers April Coffee Roasters; it is general roaster coverage.

Cherrybook summary of the video

The video compares three flat-bottom drippers: the April Dripper (by Patrick Rolf of April Coffee Roasters), the Simplify Dripper (by Bathtub Coffee), and the Timemore B75. It reviews the design, brewing technique, flow rates, and practical pros and cons of each brewer when paired with various roasters' coffees.

Inside this video

From The Coffee Chronicler:

“The April dripper is a really interesting dripper since there's so much documentation about the history of it, how it's been developed, and how the inventor wants you to brew with it.”
“If I have to complain a bit, then it has three small hairline cracks at the bottom. In daily use it doesn't make any difference, but I'm a little bit worried that the bacteria or something like that could get stuck in there.”
“The April dripper, I will say it's not really a Kalita Wave replacement for me. It's more an interesting tool to play with, especially if you want to experiment with that unique two-pour recipe.”
