[Lincoln, a barista in a coffee shop kitchen, faces the camera]

Hi, I'm Lincoln.

Today I'm going to teach you how to make a hot pour-over.

[Camera shows close-up of a plastic pour over, kettle, glass mug and a bag of Starbucks Pike Place Roast coffee appearing one by one while spinning]

To start, you will need a pour-over cone,

a gooseneck kettle, a mug, and finely ground coffee.

[Lincoln picks up a paper filter and demonstrates folding it]

So we're going to use a filter.

It's going to give us a little fold along the seam lines.

Put that in.

I'm going to preheat my cone with some hot water.

[Lincoln adds hot water from the kettle into the pour over filter in a circular motion]

It's going to rinse away any papery taste.

It's also gonna help preheat my cup,

so it's nice and hot when I pour into it.

When I'm finished with this,

[Lincoln turns away from the camera to the kitchen sink at the back, pouring out excess water]

I'm just gonna dump the excess water

and start my pour over.

Now that I've got my pour over nice and prepped,

[Lincoln adds in some Pike Place Roast coffee from a metal cup into the pour over filter]

I'm gonna add in some finely ground Pike Place Roast.

It's a medium roast, really easy drinking,

great for a pour over.

[Lincoln picks up the kettle as he continues talking]

So we're just gonna give this a little bit of a bloom.

I've got 25 grams of coffee in here.

We're gonna do about 450 grams of water.

If you don't have a scale, don't worry about it.

It's about two tablespoons for every six ounces of water.

[Lincoln slowly pours water from the kettle through the pour over filter]

Wait about 15, 30 seconds, let it bubble.

[Close-up of coffee dripping through the filter into the glass mug]

Let me develop those flavors.

Once our coffee's had a chance to bloom,

we're gonna give it a main pour.

[Lincoln pours hot water from kettle, starting from the center in a circular motion, towards the edge of the brew bed on the filter]

So I'm gonna start in the center

and just pour out in circles

just to evenly distribute that water

[Close-up of coffee dripping through the filter into the glass mug]

across the whole brew bed.

[Lincoln stops pouring water from kettle, as he keeps talking while holding the kettle]

By using a pour over,

I'm gonna get a really nice clean cup,

all those oils and dissolved solids.

are gonna be absorbed by the filter,

and it's gonna give this Pike Place

[Close-up of dark coffee in the glass mug]

that nice, smooth, kind of nutty, chocolatey taste.

Now that my brew is all finished and it's all drawn down,

[Lincoln picks up filter and throws it away underneath the counter]

I'm gonna remove my filter, put that in the compost,

and I'm ready to enjoy.

[Lincoln takes a sip of coffee from the glass mug]

Take a little sip.

It's hot, it's cocoa-y, it's chocolatey,

super tasty, hot pour over.

[Lincoln, a barista in a coffee shop kitchen, faces the camera]

Hi, I'm Lincoln.

Today I'm going to show you how to make some cold brew.

For this, you will need [Camera shows close-up of glass cold brew maker, a jug of filtered water, Starbucks plastic cold cup and a bag of Starbucks Blonde Espresso roast coffee, appearing one by one while spinning] a cold brew maker, fresh filtered water, a tumbler, and coarsely ground coffee.

This is a really excellent brewer.

Really easy to use.

I'm just going to unscrew the top [Lincoln unscrews the top of the cold brew maker].

Got my filter.

Click that off [Lincoln takes off the top of the cold brew maker filter].

Pull off this little tab [Lincoln pulls off the filter's tab].

I'm going to add 70 grams of coarsely ground blonde espresso roast [Lincoln adds coffee from a metal cup into the filter].

You can use really any coffee for a cold brew.

You can use medium roast, blonde roast, whatever you like.

Get my coffee in there.

We'll lock this back on top [Lincoln puts the top back onto the filter].

Pour it and I’ll screw my lid back on [Lincoln screws the cold brew maker lid back on and back into the cold brew maker body].

Next step, all we have to do is add our water.

Take off our lid [Lincoln opens the lid of the cold brew maker]

and pour some fresh filtered water [Lincoln pours filtered water from the glass jug through the top opening of the cold brew maker], room temp through our coffee.

It’s going to hang out for about 12 hours.

I'm doing about 70g of coffee and about 680 grams of water.

More or less 24 ounces.

[Screen shows a clock that says 12 hrs on the left, with the cold brew equipments lined up in the same kitchen setting]. It's been 12 hours.

My cold brew is ready to go.

So a couple more steps.

[Lincoln takes the filter out from the cold brew maker, as he unscrews the top lid] I'm going to undo my lid.

Let this drain. I can remove my grounds. [Lincoln puts the filter away to one side]

These can go into the compost for later.

[Lincoln puts the lid back onto the cold brew maker and loosen the top]

Screw the lid back on.

Loosen the top.

[Lincoln pours coffee out from the cold brew maker into a Starbucks plastic cold cup filled with ice, as he shakes the cup]

This is going to be ready to drink right out of the brewer.

[Lincoln sips from the cup]

Delicious.

It's smooth. A little bit sweet.

That kind of candied apple.

A little bit of bittersweet chocolate.

If I wanted to customize this

I could add my creamer of choice.

Add Milk or as flavoring.

And really make it exciting.

[Lincoln, a barista in a coffee shop kitchen, faces the camera]

Hi. I'm Lincoln.

And today I'm going to teach you how to make coffee press.

[Camera shows close-up of a glass coffee press, kettle, glass mug and a bag of Starbucks Single-Origin Guatemala Antigua coffee, appearing one by one while spinning]

First you will need a coffee press, a kettle, your favourite mug, and some coarsely ground coffee.

This is a really easy method.

[Lincoln touches each equipment on the kitchen top]

You got an eight cup coffee press.

I've got 54 grams of coarsely ground Guatemala Antigua and some hot water,

and we’re going to put them all together and make some great coffee.

[Lincoln pulls lid off the coffee press]

Take the lid off my press.

[Lincoln pours coffee grounds from a metal cup into the coffee press]

Add in my coffee grounds.

I've got - water's about 195-205 degrees (F).

Basically. take it to the boil.

Wait about 30 seconds and you're ready to go.

[Lincoln pours hot water from the kettle]

So I’m just going to add my hot water in about an inch from the rim [Lincoln turns the coffee press around]

is what we're looking for.

Once I got my coffee in, I’m just going to give it a gentle stir [Lincoln uses a spatula to stir the coffee grounds]

just to break up those coffee grounds

and then put my lid back on top [Lincoln puts lid back onto the coffee press].

[Clock shows on screen that says 4 mins] and let this brew for four minutes.

So four minutes is up.

All that's left to do is to gently press down [Lincoln uses both of his hands to push the coffee press downwards]

moving those grounds down.

All right. so once it's all pressed, I'm going to get my cup [Lincoln picks up glass mug on one hand, and coffee press with coffee on the other hand]

and my coffee.

Pour it in [Lincoln pours coffee from coffee press into the glass mug].

What's nice about a press is it's got that metal filter.

It doesn't give me all those oils and dissolved solids.

[Lincoln sniffs from the glass mug]

Okay. I could smell that cocoa-y,

maybe little bit of spice.

Give it a slurp.

[Lincoln takes a sip from the glass mug]

Mmm. delicious.

That metal filter gives me that kind of full bodied cup.

Super tasty. Super simple. A coffee press.

[Lincoln, a barista in a coffee shop kitchen, faces the camera]

Hi, I'm Lincoln.

Today I'm gonna teach you how to make a moka pot.

For this, you will need [Camera shows close-up of a moka pot, kettle, glass carafe and a bag of Starbucks Espresso Roast coffee, appearing one by one while spinning] a moka pot, a kettle, a carafe, and finely ground coffee.

Really easy, we're going to take our moka pot [Lincoln twist the top half of the moka pot off] and twist apart the two halves.

[Lincoln shows the bottom chamber and takes out the filter chamber] I’ve got my chamber for water, chamber for my coffee.

I'm going to add room temperature water [Lincoln adds water from kettle to the bottom chamber of the moka pot] to this bottom chamber, just right below the safety valve.

Set this back in there [Lincoln puts the filter chamber back into the bottom chamber].

I'm going to do about three tablespoons for this size [Lincoln scopes up coffee from a metal cup].

Fill to the level of the brew chamber.

[Lincoln uses the other side of the coffee spoon to scrap off excess coffee from the edge of the chamber] Just gonna level it off.

[Lincoln uses his fingers to wipe off excess coffee along the chamber edges] Wipe away any grounds.

[Lincoln screws the top chamber back on] Screw this back on top.

[Lincoln turns the moka pot to an angle where the safety valve is towards the camera and away from him] I want that safety valve away from me when I'm heating this up.

Safety first.

[Lincoln switches the hob on] I turn this on.

[Close-up of the pot boiling the expresso coffee with sizzling sound, lid open]

That water is going to go up through those grounds and we get a nice espresso like cup in the top [Top view of moka pot as coffee fills up].

All right, we've heard the hiss.

[Lincoln closes the lid] It's finished brewing.

[Lincoln takes moka pot away from the hob]

We’re going to take this off the heat.

[Lincoln pours coffee from the moka pot to a glass mug] and just gently pour our coffee into our cup.

Nice and slow.

[Lincoln smells from the mug] Take a little smell.

Nice bit of cocoa-y molasses-y notes.

Delicious.

Get a little slurp.

[Lincoln takes a sip from the mug]

Perfect.

Super tasty.

Really delicious, you could add some milk in there.

A little bit of hot water

if you wanted to, kinda ease it out a little bit.

Really delicious. A moka pot.
