1. 0:00so this is the best coffee brewing kit
2. 0:02for beginners we can think of right now
3. 0:04our press go small plastic V60 dripper
4. 0:07additional V60 paper filters Hario hand
5. 0:10grinder Hario drip Kettle Timor digital
6. 0:12scale water filtration Kettle you can
7. 0:15get it all for about 150 Euros let's
8. 0:18talk about the details and why we picked
9. 0:20what we picked to start brewing coffee
10. 0:21at home
11. 0:26I should start by saying that we don't
12. 0:28have a budget in mind we didn't go for
13. 0:30the cheapest or most expensive tools we
14. 0:33wanted the best value for money the
15. 0:35thought came to us when we have a new
16. 0:37video editor who likes to drink coffee
17. 0:38but never makes proper coffee at home
18. 0:40our goal was to get her excited about
19. 0:43specialty coffee and pick coffee brewing
20. 0:45kit that would give her the most options
21. 0:48to learn experiment and progress over
22. 0:50time we knew that besides instant or
23. 0:53pre-round coffee there were no more
24. 0:54options at her household so we were
25. 0:56almost starting from zero still I asked
26. 0:59four questions to dial in our options do
27. 1:02you have an electric kettle answer is
28. 1:04yes do you have any water filtration
29. 1:06system was the quality of water and do
30. 1:09you have a kitchen scale answer is yes
31. 1:11that was enough insight for us to pick a
32. 1:13list of seven items I mentioned earlier
33. 1:15plus some nice coffee bean that we will
34. 1:18send her right after we finish filming
35. 1:20let's start with coffee Brewers I picked
36. 1:23the airpress go and small plastic VCC
37. 1:25dripper with paper filters if I pick
38. 1:28only one it would probably be our press
39. 1:31as I see it as a more versatile Brewer
40. 1:33this is forgiving for beginners but
41. 1:35since then extra cost of an additional
42. 1:37dripper with filters is less than 10
43. 1:39euros I added it to the shopping list
44. 1:41this set of Brewers will let her learn
45. 1:44and practice two main styles of coffee
46. 1:46brewing immersion and pour over what is
47. 1:49nice about our press go and why I prefer
48. 1:52it over original air press is that it
49. 1:54comes with a durable Mac that we often
50. 1:56use as a nice carafe even when Brewing
51. 1:58poor our coffee in our studio it's one
52. 2:01less thing to think about or to buy both
53. 2:03our presses come with 350 paper filters
54. 2:06which means you have a year or more of
55. 2:09Brewing without any additional cost I
56. 2:11picked small V60 to minimize the cost
57. 2:13but also to save on ways of paper
58. 2:15filters since she will Brew mostly for
59. 2:17herself I quite like the plastic version
60. 2:20since it's robust lightweights and it
61. 2:22has the best heat transfer from
62. 2:24materials available and also you need
63. 2:26less work water for preheating both
64. 2:28coffee makers can make basically one cup
65. 2:30of coffee only up to 200 milliliters at
66. 2:32a time which would be a limiting factor
67. 2:34for me personally but it's actually good
68. 2:36for our editor even if she wants to brew
69. 2:39more she's pushed to do multiple Brewing
70. 2:41which is more practice that will help
71. 2:44her to get better quickly
72. 2:46grinder okay grinder is a tricky one for
73. 2:49me often I would suggest either having
74. 2:51no grinder at all and asking local cafe
75. 2:53Roastery to grind it for me or invest
76. 2:56into something of high quality that can
77. 2:58last for many years and is suitable for
78. 3:01both filter coffee and espresso since
79. 3:03option A is not possible as our editor
80. 3:06is living in a small village and don't
81. 3:07have regular access to cafes or
82. 3:09roasteries and option b would mean
83. 3:12doubling all tripling the overall budget
84. 3:14and kind of spoiling a person who never
85. 3:17made coffee at home I ended up ordering
86. 3:19this cheaper entry-level grinder with
87. 3:22ceramic burst from Hario the idea is
88. 3:24that it will help to create a habit of
89. 3:26grinding coffee fresh just before
90. 3:28Brewing it will also allow her
91. 3:30experiment with different grind sizes
92. 3:32and brewing recipes at the price of 20
93. 3:35to 25 Euros is it still cheap enough to
94. 3:38keep it as a backup grinder or travel
95. 3:40option even if she upgrades to higher
96. 3:42quality and grinder or electric grinder
97. 3:45later on
98. 3:46what's also a lasting habit of virus is
99. 3:48receiving a new issue of standard
100. 3:50magazine every quarter issue 29 was no
101. 3:53different and we have a blast listening
102. 3:54to the mag while injuring a cup of
103. 3:56coffee some of our favorite reads from
104. 3:58this issue is being a barista interview
105. 4:00with a fellow content creator and
106. 4:02YouTuber Morgan ekrov known as Morgan
107. 4:05drinks coffee on the internet a deep
108. 4:07dive into the complicated issue of
109. 4:09producing coffee in Democratic Republic
110. 4:11of the Congo and a fun take on coffee
111. 4:14cup psychology in which you learn what
112. 4:16the way you hold your cup of coffee
113. 4:18tells people about you and your coffee
114. 4:21preference a small surprise at the back
115. 4:23of this issue was a scratch card that
116. 4:25will make one of the subscribers Lucky
117. 4:27by winning new commandante x25
118. 4:29Trailmaster now if you are still in the
119. 4:32algorithm to grab a yearly subscription
120. 4:33or not we've worked with standard to
121. 4:36make it an easier decision the first
122. 4:38issue is on us go to standardmac.com ECT
123. 4:41and grab a free issue of selected
124. 4:43standard Mac and just cover the shipping
125. 4:45then you can decide side if you keep the
126. 4:47subscription or cancel it it's
127. 4:49completely up to you now let's get back
128. 4:51to the essential coffee brewing kit list
129. 4:54Kettle good temperature control electric
130. 4:57kettle with gooseneck is quite a big
131. 4:59investment yet using a regular Kitchen
132. 5:01Kettle can be painful and very limiting
133. 5:04for practicing coffee brewing at home
134. 5:06since we knew she had a regular electric
135. 5:08cutter already we decided to get her
136. 5:10this Hario air drip Kettle which costs
137. 5:13about 18 Euros there are three main
138. 5:15reasons that the menas go in this
139. 5:17direction number one she'll be Brewing
140. 5:19mainly light roasted coffee so
141. 5:21temperatures close to boil are okay
142. 5:23number two the spout will allow her to
143. 5:26practice precision and hand movement
144. 5:28required for poor over coffee number
145. 5:30three measuring water dose before
146. 5:32Brewing can help to reduce the
147. 5:34complexity of the recipe at the
148. 5:36beginning of Learning
149. 5:37scale actually the most expensive item
150. 5:41on the list is scale we picked time more
151. 5:43Black Mirror model that costs about 55
152. 5:45Euros if you ask me to lower the budget
153. 5:48and go under 100 euros total this will
154. 5:51be the first item to remove as she
155. 5:53already has an alternative at home still
156. 5:55I decided to spend more money because I
157. 5:57want to give her a tool that is precise
158. 6:00enough to follow most coffee brewing
159. 6:01recipes we share and I wanted to have a
160. 6:04scale that measures and displayed both
161. 6:06weight and time on the same device and I
162. 6:09also don't expect the scale to be
163. 6:10replaced anytime soon hopefully it will
164. 6:13be good enough for many years to come
165. 6:15which will justify the higher investment
166. 6:17water filtration we know that she has a
167. 6:20hard tap water at home which is not very
168. 6:22good for coffee brewing the least we can
169. 6:24do at this stage is to use a regular
170. 6:26water filter Jack we pick one from Brita
171. 6:29for hair and we use one from bwt at the
172. 6:32studio I guess there are differences but
173. 6:34I think most of similar Jacks will
174. 6:36perform similarly the downside of this
175. 6:38solution is the recurring cost of filter
176. 6:40Replacements but unless you are lucky
177. 6:42with soft clean tap water it's good use
178. 6:45of resources to get most of the tasty
179. 6:48coffee you want to brew
180. 6:50coffee speaking of coffee we will of
181. 6:52course send her some coffee beans to
182. 6:54Grant and Brew we got a bag of Ethiopian
183. 6:57coffee beans roasted by our colleague
184. 6:58tomolasa at beeberry it's washed sweet
185. 7:00coffee with nice but not overwhelming
186. 7:03acidity I believe it's good for starters
187. 7:05I don't know many people who wouldn't
188. 7:07like coffee from Ethiopia and we are
189. 7:09also adding two samples of some of our
190. 7:11favorite coffees we have in the studio
191. 7:13right now one is Savage coffee from
192. 7:15Panama roasted by harpins in opol and
193. 7:17Costa Rican specialty a lot roasted by
194. 7:19black and Bloom in Granite Village
195. 7:22okay that was our take on the best
196. 7:24coffee brewing kit for people starting
197. 7:26to brew coffee at home would be in your
