  • I don’t have experience with the coffeesock, but I have use the Hario Woodneck filters daily. My method is this: boil water, run hot water through filter, add grinds, then do normal pourover method (may want to adjust grind since it may drain faster). After brewing, dump grinds in compost, rinse filter, put filter in small jar. Pour leftover boiling water from kettle into jar. Store in the fridge until tomorrow. Periodically (preferably monthly), you should clean the filter by soaking it in a combination of water and a little Cafiza. You have to really rinse well after the soak, because you really don’t want to taste that in your coffee. I have never used a Moccamaster, but I don’t see why this filter wouldn’t work for that since it takes V60 filters.

    This process is basically what Hoffman recommends. I personally prefer my coffee through this filter since I like the oils of the coffee, but don’t really want the fines passing through the filter. That said, it does get very tedious sometimes; I have a metal filter that I use when I’m too lazy to go through this whole process. They aren’t really much of a cost-saving or waste-reducing measure. It takes quite a few pourovers before you save money (though I dunno, maybe you buy really fancy filters) and paper coffee filters are compostable. The most cost-effective solution really is a metal filter. However I think the fabric filters produce the best coffee IMO, but I’d imagine people who prefer lighter roasts might actually prefer the paper filters.








  • Oh you can drink the powder? You don’t need to remove it?

    Nope. Matcha is meant to be ground fine enough such that it suspends in your liquid and is drinkable without filtering.

    Is there a tea like matcha that would be good to cold brew?

    Sencha or any other green tea can be cold brewed. I’ve never done it myself, but pretty sure you just throw tea in some water and let it sit for a while. I’ve never done it myself, so just look up “cold brew green tea.” Granted, this will only be like matcha in flavor and not in mouthfeel. Furthermore, if you plan on adding milk, this is probably not the best route to take since green tea is generally much weaker than matcha, so adding milk eliminates any semblance of flavor from the tea.

    It’s that simple

    Yep

    By immediately you don’t mean in one go right? Like I can drink it in like 2 hours right?

    The matcha will settle out if you let it sit. However, you can just shake it up again and then drink it after letting it sit.
