I liked this demonstration.Seemed to me that the extraction was a little slow compared to the hario v60.I wonder how this affects the brew if it makes a difference or not.
@tzsweeney It is a bit slow, but I think the resulting cup is better. If I could slow a V60 down to 3-4 minutes, I would! As is, my average for v60 is 2 minutes, which means I have to make the grinds finer in a v60 and overdose a bit. Ideally that wouldn't be necessary, IMO - Tom
A range of grinds is acceptable for French Press - I would use one on the finer side of the range. So medium/coarse? It is sort of a matter of judgement - not a rule. You need to use the feedback of how the coffee brews (i.e. how the water flows or pools in the grinds) and the flavor to adjust the grind. It might take some trial and error.
1:13 "A Fine French Press grind"??? What do you mean by this? French Press grind is suppose to be very course. Or do you mean a Course grind, but not too course?
Have you tried the Kone metal filter for the chemex? I think that might eliminate the problems with paper including the seaming you mention. Plus it would likely help retain heat because metal is a much better conducter. I find that with my teapot, the tea stays hotter longer if I keep my stainless steel filter in it.
how did you keep the crma / foam on the top of the two 6 oz. coffees I try and try to do that if I use a screen from a coffee maker With no filter I get it But coffee is in bottom of cup My coffee is very fresh so I just wanted to know thankss Is there a video?? or is it 2 cap,s ??
I use the white Chemex filter and if I pour about 1 liter of water to rinse the filter and pre-heat the glass I do not find any paper taste at all when brewing as little as 12oz of coffee.
I've used a Chemex with unbleached Chemex filters for a few years now, and the paper taste from a Chemex filter can easily be eliminated by holding the filter under fresh, running water for about ten seconds. My first few pots of coffee out of my Chemex tasted like paper. Now they don't, and I've used the unbleached Chemex filters exclusively.
great easy watching. gets the point across well. interesting about the filters. think it shows it's worth trying a few different ones. are those ones you use unbleached? does bleached vs unbleached make a difference from your experience? thanks sweet marias! wish you were nearer to the uk :)

Sorry to have missed this - I did not like the Kone metal filter - I tried it and did not like it.

The crust or foam in drip brewing will form or not form based on the properties of the coffee itself.

Could I use a cloth Hario filter?

white filters have less paper taste in general. in the tan ones, the hemp filters work well too. thanks for the comment
