Why am I expecting Pete Sweady to walk through the door to show the girls
his prized balls?

dubgroop says:

The coffee taste so grate, smooth, and rich in flavour with the Karlsbader
Kanne (historical Name). The German company is called Walkuere (Bayreuther
Walküre). There is also another more beautiful model available on the
market. Anyways, as a rule of thump: 5g of coffee per 100ml (3,38oz) water
(95°C / 203 F) time of extraction should be 4 min.

Since you are importing this coffee maker from Walkure you should check out
their amazing coffee cups, demitasses, saucers etc and try importing those
as well, i specially love their “vento” line. I have a vintage karlsbader
but it’s the 1L version so i rarely use it since it can’t properly make
less than that.

coffeefusion says:

I decided to make my coffee before I watched your video, because lets face
it, I always have a craving after watching your videos anyway 😀

André Cavalcante says:

Coffee does not pass thru?

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@robotmotor thank you 🙂 🙂 🙂 – kat

Issara says:

kind of like giant vietnamese coffee filter

perrypix says:

I used to get great coffee from the small (but not the big) Drip-o-lator. A
bit like this one but aluminum. I will be looking for this in Canada.
Thanks for everything. You guys are great!

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@coffeefusion I appreciate your commitment to planning ahead 😉 – Kat

Art Jury says:

Looks neat, Im interested in pour over coffee, I rarely drink coffee but I
had some pour over on a trip recently and want to give it a try. How hard
is it to clean?

samshead says:

According to their website what you have is actually called the
Karlsbad…the Bayreuth is the 80’s style. 🙂

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@Operafiend22 My Italian sucks! I have no excuse for my German since I am
of German descent… 🙁 Thank you for the correction!!! 🙂 – Kat

glukometr2 says:

Kat, I love your ‘meow’! 🙂

ibrahim alalaty says:

@SeattleCoffeeGear your welcome kat 🙂

jazzbobrown says:

yep, this is the classic, old fashioned Karlsbader Kanne, which the older
generation in Germany and Austria all have in their kitchen. Nostalgic, but
not a good method for brewing coffee today: you MAY get an ok cup, but the
need for quite coarse grounds gives a bad extraction (I’ve got one, and up
against V60, Kalita, Clever Dripper, Chemex etc, it is uneven and more a
curiousity than a nessesity.

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@jankrix Yes, very similar! Probably should mix with condensed milk in
order to do a true side by side 😉 – Kat

renix says:

@SeattleCoffeeGear I think he/she meant particulates. The gaps are pretty
big, was there sludge?

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@samshead Yes — we updated 🙂 – Kat

thePowerPlant says:

@SeattleCoffeeGear Any idea on when Walkure will bring out their other
models here in the US? I really want that one-cup model.

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@coffeefusion I appreciate your commitment to planning ahead 😉 – Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@klarinetta Pretty similar cup, taste-wise. The Sowden has more flexibility
in brew options, however, and the micro filter would allow you to use less,
finer ground coffee – Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@perrypix Cool! If you don’t find a Canadian importer, we will be adding
this once we launch our international shipping so you could pick it up in a
few from us – just FYI – Kat

ibrahim alalaty says:

great video love you kat and gail

Beznet says:

jeez the grounds need to be EXTREMELY coarse it seems to not slip through
those slots. The grind that Gail used seemed to still be a little too fine
in my opinion.

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@glukometr2 hahahaha – thanks 🙂 – kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@thePowerPlant We carry the one cup version of the Karlsbad but the
importer is not planning on bringing in the modern version; we’re trying to
talk them into it 😀 – Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@Beznet We did have a bit of sludge on the bottom of the pot after we
poured it out for the crew. We’ll probably take it up another notch coarser
the next time around, but it was still a great cup. – Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

I loved the material / design and the cup was smooth … sadly, the
importer stopped importing them into the US, so we don’t have ’em any more
– Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@thePowerPlant You’re right! Sorry about that — we got no information from
the importer on these so were taking our best guess – updated 🙂 – Kat

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@oktyone We’re not importing these directly, so only have access to this
item right now, unfortunately – Kat

Stefan Sigfinnsson says:

So how does this one compare to the Sovden Soft Brew ?

Operafiend22 says:

Kat, your Italian is so impressive, but your German… 😉 Walküre is
pronounced Val-Koo-reh Bayreuth is pronounced Buy-royt Great video as
always!

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@renix Got it — yeah, as I mentioned below. there was a bit in the bottom
so we would probably take the grind up just a bit the next time around. But
it was very little – Kat

thePowerPlant says:

I just checked out the modern designed Walkure, and damn! It looks like
something that would find in the MoMA. Sleek, and very much akin to Swedish
design. And there one-cup design looks awesome as well. I hope they bring
that one to the States soon!!! ^^ Are you sure this one isn’t the Karlsbad?
As their website has the Bayreuth model as the modern version. Oh well,
they’re both KEWL!

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

@abcborgess Nope, it passed through, just a slow drip – Kat

Robbie Melton says:

I’ve actually found the exact opposite of what you’re saying to be true…
The extraction on this is quite phenomenal (since when does a coarse grind
result in a bad extraction?). I love it BECAUSE I can use such a course
grind but still extend the brew time out to 4 minutes. It also allows a lot
of the oils to get into the cup which helps accentuate the body without
effecting the clarity of flavor in the cup.

Seattle Coffee Gear says:

Super easy to clean! Washes out very simply. – Kat

Přes 100 let stará a vracející se metoda přípravy s českými kořeny. Původně
pod krásným názvem Karlovarský příbor, dnes už bohužel známá spíše jako
Walküre (podle německé porcelánky, kde se teď vyrábí … http://www.walkuere.de).
Hlavní předností je, že filtr je také porcelánový – tedy propustí žádoucí
oleje, které papírové filtry zachytí. Druhou příjemnou vlastností je
porcelán, který po nahřátí udrží déle teplotu. A v neposlední řádě krásně
vypadá. Vyrábí se v retro i moderní verzi.
