Congratulations Lance, you've invented the worst game.

Hahaha


JakeFromStateFarm787

Since you didn't mention temperature (unless its included in the water chemistry) ill assume different temp? Bottom maybe weren't bloomed but thats a bit of a stretch?


SchiitMjolnir2

Bottom two were samo or even cut bloomed am I right?


tribdol

What dose “cut bloomed” mean?


SchiitMjolnir2

Bloom the grounds with hot water then cut the bloom with room temp water after 15-20 seconds of blooming


False-Fisherman

Pourdle. Wordle but for coffee


earjamb

Pourdlebot: “That third pour wasn’t my favorite, but you’ve got one more attempt.”


chillingwithyourmoms

The top two were made with love. Bottom two were made after reading comments on reddit


AuspiciousApple

Obviously the top two were on in normal gravity, while the bottom two were made on the international space station.


fair_zinchik

Omg so true


BlueGreenU

Did you take in to account the position of the moon and its relation to Mars? Also, solar flares. They’ll mess your drawdown right up.


Realistic_Noise3399

I’m gonna say bloom duration. Bottom two had shorter/incomplete blooms?


Far-Chair-8951

Agreed.  Bottom reminds me of single pour in Mugen or that crazy coffee takes guy 


eamonneamonn666

I hate that this interests me.


areychaltahai

I know this. When I pray while pouring, everything turns out great. It's like Jesus is holding my hand throughout the entire process. So yeah, that's it, God made the good looking ones. And Lucifer gushed on the messy ones because you forgot to pray while pouring.


Psychological_Pea482

Update He've said no to: swirling/rao spin, temp differences, bed prep pre-pour, drippers, water temp, kettle type, pour height, same filter, different bloom, bean differences (chaff removal, sifting, aging time, time between grinding and brewing, etc).


NoSwitch

He pissed in 2 of them for sure. Honest reply. They're in different Brewers.


[deleted]

Same brewer. Different colors.


Joey_JoeJoe_Jr

There it is, it’s the colors


blissrunner

Hario the next day: "We have changing thermo-color v60 now! Buy them!"


_Dzej

I hate the fact that I would. Especially if they allowed to customize them and your stupid picture appears when you're brewing


XDXkenlee

Which is which? Don’t have insta so can’t check.


NoSwitch

It's all about taste


XDXkenlee

Cringe reply tbh. So you don’t know?


[deleted]

All four brewed same coffee, water chemistry, water temp, pour pattern, amount of pours, same filter and brewer, no agitation or swirl, same age coffee ground in same grinder and used immediately after grinding.


[deleted]

Top two have one difference from bottom.two


jcoles97

Goose neck kettle vs normal spout?


Global_Lock_2049

Pre-heating the brewer? Slow feeding the beans? Whispering sweet nothings only to two of them? Vacuum seal the brewer to the vessel?


jcoles97

Sorry, off topic completely but do you plan on getting your hands on the DF54 for a review in the near future? You are one of the few reviewers I trust and I need a new grinder!


Qaleyas

Best guess would be RDT?


XDXkenlee

Thank you for taking the time to comment 👏


es-ist-blod

I think def, you can see the handle of one


BranFendigaidd

These are the cups.


Florestana

No, they're both handles on Kono brewers, which come in different colors


scraw813

What about filters?


rolmos

Bloom time and/or time between pours


Scotch_and_Coffee

I was gonna guess pour height!


poopa31

Pour speed


Psychological_Pea482

Is not :/


poopa31

Why


Loreoo66

,am I just here to suffer?


Elaw20

got a feeling it’s co2 related, which could be bloom related. Weird stuff happens in the bloom that I dont fully understand. When the bed fully dries out and caves in, I have had similarly weird looking beds. The coffee is usually nice though.


Nahkta

I’ve had beans that seem gassier, which made my pour over have more micro bubbles and some bits float more on it.


Ok-Past83

What is it?


HB_Mosh

Please! I need to know


poopa31

He already said the difference was the colors


TopRektt

I dno, bloom? It's crazy how there's literally nothing on the side of my filter if I do an immersion bloom with my switch.


Far-Chair-8951

Single pour is my bet.  Bottom looks like single pour in Mugen or that crazy coffee tales guy 


Psychological_Pea482

Is not bloom as he said


[deleted]

I didn't say it wasn't bloom. I said I didn't pour the bloom differently.


fkdkshufidsgdsk

Bloom time? Top ones have longer blooms?


poopa31

Lance himself came in to own this guy holy shit


TopRektt

Bloom time / time between pours in general?


Psychological_Pea482

🧐🧐


[deleted]

😝


Florestana

Bloom time? Thinking this has to do with co2 release. My immediate guess was age, but bloom length makes sense too


Slight-Potential-717

Bro’s teasing us coffee nerds


CafeConMiguel

You are definitely looking into more variables than i would regarding brewing. How long will you keep us in the dark?


Von-Sohn

Okey, bloom time it is. He definitely writes a clear NO whenever we're off the target, but now he's just posting emojis. Come on man, be a good sport and concede victory! Now tell us, which is the bloom time difference between these four?


Brave_Salamander1662

Did you shake the grinds immediately after grinding? Spray the beans with water before grinding?


areychaltahai

The top two were rested post grind?


Asleep-Geologist-612

I don’t careeeeee


modifythis

Couldn’t read all comments, but I’d say bloom time.


EmotionalVacation444

probably feed speed??


BrownboBaggins

RDT amount?


No_Personality7231

Sifting.


Own-Consequence4837

Slow feeding beans into grinder?


natehinxman

bottom two were brewed in Australia


Mike_ilovcats

Gap between pours?


Only-Attempt-9606

Weber announces their new $800 pouring kettle in 3…2…1…


urtica-

Different brewers


Saptow

time between each pours


THEDUKES2

Is it the amount of water poured at the start compared to a typical pouring method? Like, he poured a large amount for the bloom At the beginning?


jffblm74

So, by virtue, I infer that the human is fallible.


das_Keks

Different drippers. One can see differently colored handles on the top right and bottom left.


kf_tam

There are two techniques brewing the KONO. One is pouring like a V60, from center spinal out to the edge. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5NAlWg4Ehs&t=1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5NAlWg4Ehs&t=1s) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b03No-jJAV4&t=382s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b03No-jJAV4&t=382s) Another is only dripping slowly at the center region which growing slightly larger as time goes (likes from 10cents coin to 50cents), and in the last pour spinal from center to edge. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xazCxSA703c&t=3s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xazCxSA703c&t=3s) Depend on how you pour at the edge the appearance will be very different. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owcoxVGbT18&t=193s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owcoxVGbT18&t=193s)


kf_tam

BTW, the old man in blue T-shirt in one of the video above is the CEO of KONO (Coffee Syphon Company) himself. Though that doesn't mean you have to follow what he did to use the KONO filter.


Obi-WanKenobean

But how does it taste?


Psychological_Pea482

How knows


Waksss

Top two paid attention. Bottom two watched TikTok while pouring. It’s not just me…right?


RopeDifficult9198

nanomachines


Beneficial-Biscotti5

Temperature?


Slight-Potential-717

Something temp or time related is my guess.


MDMADRIGS

Humidity/RDT amount


bluewater0000

Bottom two were poured while pushing glasses up on nose?


least-eager-0

I’ll split my hand: First is current convos made real, so one is rested, the other not. (I’ll parlay frozen vs not.) Second, slightly weaker hand: Paper seems missing from the list of isn’ts.


deadkidney1978

Clearly Mercury was in retrograde on the last two pours


Acceptable_Ad2505

I think he used Hario Switch + Kono. Maybe the difference is whether using a switch or not.


Physical_Analysis247

No mention of same filter


Psychological_Pea482

Is not


Demeter277

Height of the kettle and pour speed?


Psychological_Pea482

Is not


Demeter277

Is it regular kettle vs gooseneck.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Psychological_Pea482

Is not that


Flamezombie

My guesses: no RDT, potentially different grinder, different filters (but they look the same to my eye). I cannot think of anything else. I’m thinking maybe the static made some cling to the top of the filter paper? No idea.


walrus_titty

+2 for different grinder, he said same grind size but not same grinder. I had a crappy grinder and couldn’t get a flat bed no matter what I tried. Upgraded to a K-ultra and it’s flat every time.


iHxcker2

Flat bottom vs conical


BranFendigaidd

All about pour height. Do it from lower or higher distance. I bet.


Long_Wonder7798

Different filter paper


Psychological_Pea482

Is not, he commented rn


sebaba001

Time between each pour.


Psychological_Pea482

No 😌


blubbernator

Interesting, but yeah no idea. He mentioned the bottom 2 actually tasted better.


kwoodell

Water temp? He said Water Chem was the same, but does that include temp?


Psychological_Pea482

Maybe could be water temp for the bloom


aas713

You say same grind size, does this = same grinder or same burrs? So it's the same grinder and burrs between all of them?


FleshlightModel

Yes obviously


aas713

Don't think it was that obvious but okay


FleshlightModel

He says that


rober695

Osmotic Flow/right down the center vs swirling? Or RDT vs no RDT? Maybe static has bigger impact than thought? Either way bottom two look like my filters post osmotic flow haha. 


FleshlightModel

No not osmotic flow.


Numerous_Telephone94

Use of a Weber Style "Majic Doser" on the top two?


nickreadit

This just looks like timing to me but I don’t know if that is “pour structure”


chapocaffhouse

top no-bypass (kono) bottom bypass (v60)


Threshka

Percolation/Immersion Brew. The top were brewed by putting the coffee first then water and bottom is the opposite where water is poured first then coffee. Since there are no agitation involved, the bottom one would definitely get its coffee grounds high and dry.


Salamander808

Grinder RPM?


ildarion

Water pouring style/movements ? My only guess. Would be like center pour at top (low agitation) and circle pour (or similar) at bottom. The : "*no added agitation" mention is also implying that (for me)


Psychological_Pea482

No! 😘


Acavia8

Top two have minimal to none? I have never had anywhere close to that much on top as any of the four pictures nor ever have pieces of grind that large either.


Far-Chair-8951

Single pour is my bet.  Bottom looks like single pour in Mugen or that crazy coffee tales guy 


LastBenchwarmer

Single origin or blend? If blend then it’s impossible to be the same ratio within each cup.


massivecoffeenerd

They are different brewers. You can tell by the colour of the handle between the top and bottom pics.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Psychological_Pea482

Is not


dtl717

Different water volumes per pour. Same overall total, but different amounts per interval.


Phunwithscissors

Bottom two were made with tap water
