Coffee talk (Er snobbery)

Update: I bought the 8 cup Chemex. So here’s my short review. The coffee was extremly good. It tastes smoother and def more filtered than my French Press. What I don’t like is it takes a long ass time to complete. I’d say a good ten minutes of me standing there pouring hot water while it slowly drips waiting to pour more in a cicrcular motion so the grind gets evenly wet. Maybe I’m doing it wrong but I don’t think so. I do need to upgrade to a conical burr grinder from my blade so maybe that will make a difference. The other issue with it taking so long is keeping the coffee and kettle water hot.

Anyone have a chemex or other pour over with answers to my issues? I do think owning a pour over is worth having. I may just go to target and buy a single serve pour over for like $10.


I looked into these, but too much a PITA. Stick with the French press.
