  • good vid

    we have been using the chemex for about a year now, we have tried bodums and the kone as well. the chemex ended up being the one we prefer to use. please note that we also liked the other methods as well. nothing wrong with them at all.

    I quite agree about the temperature. I have taken to using a thermometer to keep the temperature at a known level.

    I am slowly working my way down from 205 to 195 in the interests of 'science'.

    establishing a baseline and experimenting is good advice

  • How is this different than a Melitta pour through?  Really just in the filter thickness? Does the result differ much? Thanks!

  • LOL. Great vid. Love the part where you burn your hand at 2:17!

  • I always love African coffee like Kenya and Ethiopia in the Chemex. Right now I'm brewing a great organic coffee from Daterra in Brazil. Fruits and acidity in the beginning then some nuts and hint of spices(not as much I think than in the non organic one) and it finish off with sweet caramel. Very clear and medium bodied coffee. Love it in the Chemex. But as alway when I try a new coffee for the first time I brew it in the French press got get all the flavors highlighted and go from there.

  • I don't think that traditional Chemex has more body than regular paper drip. Body comes from insolubles that the thick Chemex paper traps. Only way to get good body from a Chemex is to use a metal filter in it, but then it becomes less clean of course.

  • The vacuum brewer is also between french press and auto drip but not as acidic as the Chemex.

  • @klarinetta Thanks for the feedback. The vacuum brewer is another very cool and unique brewing system that offers a different outcome and love it. Join our newsletter and keep in touch. Cheers

  • @SaltSpringCoffee Sorry didn't see the comment until now. Thanks for the invitation to your newsletter. I always love to read something coffee related to expand my knowledge about this terrific liquid :D
