Nice to see your wife as your videographer. You make a great team. And as usual, the article was great. Love to try your brews. Waiting for u to make some for us here.
Hoop is new to me and I find it quite innovative brewing. When i started brewing coffee, i was ten years of age and have never been thoroughly satisfied with the South Indian Filters. The method is, you dump the grounded Coffee powder on a tower that has pores; then place an inverted umbrella (with minute pores) on top of the powder. A few people add some white sugar on top the powder which i hate. Then Hot water is poured on top of the inverted umbrella that has minute pores. Water seeps into the bottom container after traversing through grounded coffee powder encapsulating ( could not find a better word) all that a Coffee would offer you.
This method works fine. However i don’t think it is proper brewing.
The Hoop or Ceado method is new. Hot Water is poured into tower, and the hot water seeps through the side holes and mixes very well with grounded coffee powder which has been placed inside. Then the mixture releases the aroma of coffee; enjoy the aroma and it will be should be good. Then the water gets filtered through the filter-paper nicely. Post filtering, I would like to say the Coffee has been enriched. Lovely and cute process.
The major difference as you notice is, in the earlier method, hot water is poured on the tower. This water traverses through the Coffee powder that is sandwiched between the bottom container (that has pores) and the inverted Umbrella (that has minute pores). The powder does not completely get mixed up with hot water. The hot water gets drained into the bottom container absorbing the characteristics of the grounded coffee powder.
Whereas in the Hoop (or radial infusion) method, the hot water gets gently and thoroughly gets mixed with grounded coffee powder.
Mmmm that’s a huge plus, dear! My salute to these innovators.
Amazing comparison Selva 🙋♂️ importantly, South India filters are best brewed with blends Coffee + Chicory, 70-30; 60-40 types 😄 and work well with milk! However, Hoop is super nice for pure coffee, just coffee.. that’s all!!

WoW, exactly Ram. For pure Coffee I always went for French Press. But in the recent years avoided French press.
French press is good but the oils stay back. Hence you don’t get a clean cup & in the long run leads to bad cholesterol 😇
Thanks for sharing the New pour over equipment.
Come home for tasting 👊🤩
Nice demonstration
Thanks Abhijeet! Something nice coming up for you 🔜
Interesting info 👍🏻
Thanks Shree🙏🏼 more in the pipeline
Hey , wonderful article Ram,looking forward for more such Vlogs,Cheers
Vamos 🚀
