Cherrybook summary of the video

Tim Wendelboe demonstrates his brewing technique for both V60 and automatic filter brewers. He emphasizes the importance of coffee quality, grind size adjustment based on taste, and consistent water-to-coffee ratios.

Inside this video

From Tim Wendelboe:

“The most important ingredient that you need to think about is obviously the coffee. You cannot make good coffee without having good ingredients.”
“Normally, if the coffee taste astringent and bitter, you need to grind coarser. And if it taste watery and weak, you need to grind finer.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.
