BREWING LIKE A WORLD CHAMPION

Buying equipment is easy, dialing in is hard. If you made a series of videos like this where you dial in a brew, I’d watch every video multiple times.

This was by far the most extensive and grounded presentation of brewer's cup I've ever heard. Thanks Lance as always!

Bruh, how did this end up in my feed? This is a whole world I didn’t even know existed. I loved every minute

Nothing better than a new Lance Hedrick video while drinking my coffee

I've never felt more insulted, amused, and stripped of my whole identity than when Lance said, "A lot of us–our story into coffee is that one blueberry bomb natural ethiopian." Way to make one of the most memorable moments of my life into such a mundane and predictable experience 😂

This is pretty close to what I was looking for. Analyzing your coffee "specs" to determine the best flavor. Not saying there's one true flavor for the coffee, but using the right method to make a coffee that fits your personal taste. Would you be open to do a video regarding this? Knowing which method to use can reduce wasted trial and error of brewing but still not achieving that right taste.

Lance I never comment but this might be a long one. I was drawn into specialty coffee when my mind was blown that a naturally processed coffee could taste like cranberry. I was like are you serious, nothing but natural coffee in this cup? So I'm actually super turned off when I see anaerobic processing fruit fermentation stuff because it's going in the complete opposite direction that I feel the soul of this thing is - showcasing the natural beauty of coffee. I love what you are doing helping bring a washed process to the stage and I want to tell you that while the recipes yielded by the competition may not be helpful to me, the insight you provided into the process of dialing for competition I find extremely helpful for dialing in general or for a particular audience. High marks for the video and the direction you are going. I'd like to see more competitions or maybe divisions that exclude heavily processed coffees. Thanks Lance!

One of your best videos. Passionate, well argued, very illustrative. Like your work, Lance.

This might be my favourite video of yours so far! Love how you explain the reasoning behind every step

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Lance, thanks so much for addressing this and bringing to light these types of information, as niche as they may be, but still lingering in our minds. I love the openness and the transparency.

I'm always amazed at the complexity that can be achieved with coffee. Thanks for this deep dive

Lance, you're a special one! I'm glad that someone with your status in the coffee industry made a video like this. I put my money mainly on washed coffees. I honestly prefer them! And ironically they're often related with roasters that pay fairly to the farmers ;) Cheers

Super enlightening. Thanks for the deep dive and break-down!

Nice to see a washed coffee being represented at the worlds

Absolutely Fantastic Video!!! Nice to hear someone pointing out the reality of WC brewing. Interesting that you didn't put a mesh screen under the filter. I've found that addition balances clarity and body brilliantly in flat bottom brewers. And that MK cup shape is soooo nice too 😅

I remember you mentioning that you measured competitors’ low extractions in a previous video, but you didn’t get into it as it would have been off the video’s topic. So glad you really went into detail in this one. Thanks as always, Lance!

Very good explanation and of what competition is and how we should view it… Such content is absolutely gold

Learnt so much here...thx heaps Lance. I'd love to see a series based on a similar premise - each episode you have a random bag of beans and then manipulate all your brewing levers to get the best taste based on the bean make-up eg. density, processing, varietal, roast, etc

This video is amazing. Would love to see more breakdowns of tasting/competitions in the future
