Espresso becomes "Coffee Soup" on Hoon's Coffee
An ultra-coarse recipe from Big Sur Coffee Roasters in China anchors a busy run of brewing experiments and grinder comparisons.

I Tried the 90g "SOUP" Espresso Recipe (And It's Amazing) #espresso
The shot pours more like tea than the thick espresso its name might suggest. In Hoon's Coffee's most-watched new upload, beans are weighed, ground and worked through an elaborate preparation routine before a long stream fills a metal cup. The finished coffee gets a swirl in a small ceramic cup, with no spoken verdict required.
"I Tried the 90g "SOUP" Espresso Recipe (And It's Amazing) #espresso" has reached roughly 22,000 views. Hoon credits the recipe to Big Sur Coffee Roasters in China: an ultra-coarse grind and a much larger output than a conventional espresso. The description calls the result exceptionally clean; the video supplies the paper filters, distribution tools and tamping that get this particular shot there.
The comments turn that preparation into a conversation about what espresso ought to be. Some compare the result with filter coffee; others question how much puck preparation such coarse grounds need. One viewer who tried a version at home describes citrus and red-fruit flavors becoming more pronounced in a light roast. Another simply wants to know where the wide-mouthed metal cup came from.
Coffee soup appeared across several of the week's thirteen uploads, alongside Timemore hand-grinder comparisons and an AeroPress Premium unboxing. That first-cup AeroPress test and another Big Sur recipe video are also among the uploads drawing the most views right now, though the wordless soup demonstration is comfortably the busiest.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, and daily viewing is currently moderately above its usual level. Nearby in the food-channel neighborhood, The Sip with Ryland Adams and Lizze Gordon is having a quieter spell. Hoon's Coffee, meanwhile, has traded last month's cooling-down grinder tests for a different tasting question: how far can you stretch an espresso before it becomes something else?

I watched the VOD of your livestream and I did try a version of this myself at my house. Very clean cup. Brought out citrus and red fruit even more in a light roast. Thanks.
