@@luifranco1457 comparing espresso and coffee from a chemex is like comparing focaccia with a vietnamese baguette...

@@chashubokchoy8999 what's wrong with Vietnamese banquette ?

@@connorl5868 nothing, it’s just that the two are wildly different. you can’t compare a chemex to espresso because they’re different things

@@chashubokchoy8999 👍

I ordered the same one off of Amazon and have been using it for about a week now. I absolutely love it!!!

Thank you!

I just discovered the Chemex and I'm absolutely over the moon for it !

I recommend James Hoffmann’s “ultimate v60 technique”

bitter? try LOWER water temp...

maria I I will give that a go in the morning, thank you!

That's a fantastic choice! The baby Chemex is quite lovely, just some general stuff first; make sure to get the right filters, the ones featured in this video do NOT fit in the 3-cup Chemex, definitely go for a coarse grind, depending on where you buy your coffee you'll probably be fine on that end, in terms of the brew times, there's really not a difference in comparison to the larger chemex counterparts, I use the same 1:15 ratio and if my coffee is fresh (about 7-10 days old since roasted) I do 4 pours; the 1st one is a 50g(water) for 30 seconds, 100g for 1 minute, 100g for another minute and 50g for a final minute, giving you a final brew time of 3:30mins, after the 10 day mark I do 3 pours of 100g(water) the 1st one is one minute long as well as the 2nd one and the 3rd for 1:30 getting you the same 3:30 time, wether you want more or less coffee you just adjust the amount of grams you use, times remain untouched, hope you get the Chemex! It's by far my favourite method and feel free to let me know if you need anything else

Irving Lopez thank you for the excellent information. Very helpful indeed. I will try with your recommendations. Cheers!

I know it sounds environmentally friendly and convenient to use the reusable ones but really paper is the way to go. The taste is unbeatable. ☕

3:30 seems to be a hard rule for coffee geeks. It really depends on recipe. 55 grams can't be brewed as quickly as 30 grams. As you can see her brew took 5:30 not 3:30 Ive had tons of brews that took 4 minutes or more and it didn't ruin the cup. I would try pouring the initial bloom then pour ALL of the rest of the water and let it draw down. If it's too fast grind finer until you get to 3:30 or Just do normal brew and lift filter away at 3:30

@@mariai9549 I've heard both recommendations, some people saying to pour the whole amount and other people pouring in two or three even pours. I'm so confused by the conflicting advice. Which way? Help?

@@everythingsawesome I would try it and taste it to see what YOU like. I began by tasting pour overs from baristas just to get an idea of how it should be. Then began experimenting to see what I could do at home when making more than one cup. I use a finer grind than recommended in my six cup Chemex. My grinder is timed for the amount of coffee I want to use (this can vary from roast to roast, btw) and my brew lasts about 4:30. While brewing, I pour water as high as I can get it without making a mess. I let it drain down enough to add about five swirls and I repeat once more. By the time the 4:30 hits, my grounds have drained and I have a pot full to just under the wooden ring for my wife and I. It’s all about your taste and experimentation. Good beans can be expensive so start from a recipe and then play with the grind and amount of coffee and water to suit your needs. Good luck!

In my experience, when your coffee taste burnt it means you over extracted it. This can be solved by making the brew time faster. Grind the beans coarser or increase your pour speed but only change one variable. This does require a bit of trial and error but trust me when I say you'll know what to do faster in the future. Have fun :)

Fluffy Bun thanks a lot, I did try yesterday grinding coarser and now it taste delicious! Thank you very much though :)

I think she said 20? But I’m not sure. I use one click to the right of 20 on mine. So I think that’s 21. I’ve heard there is a grinder variation.

Ria Angelei I heard 20 in the video too, but I typically use size 18 with my Encore and Chemex. What about you?

@@MichaelDiLuzio It really depends on your specific grinder. 20 on one person's Encore might not be the same particle size as 20 on another person's. There is an inner calibration in it and they vary on what setting they're on from the factory.

@@matthewqualls5612 Exactly. Due to the calibration, no two grinders are the same. Use that as a reference, but dial from there.

i use 22-24. anything under that takes too long to brew.

Sheepless christmas is around the corner! 😁

Yeah its gorgeous and I am a visual person , but that price is troubling , I chose the Bonavita and its exceptional , very accurate and a lot of reviews say 5-6 minutes ,but I'm good at 200 with 75 deg. water in about 4.5

@@Aldocello1 I've had a Bonavita for about six years now, and I'm happy with it for uses like green tea or Aeropress coffee, where you want accurate temperature. But mine is not a gooseneck model, and now that I've started making pour-over coffee I want finer pour control. Guess I should look at a Bonavita gooseneck.

@@BoredInNW6 Its all about personal preference but you cannot go wrong with the bonavita does exactly what its intended to do , and keep in mind , these channels are also sellers so they will somewhat guide you in certain ways , as far as pour control , I don't care if its a 200$ kettle , you have to control it no matter what , there is no diff between the 50$ Bonavita and the 150$ EKG

I received the EKG kettle for Christmas. Mine is the copper one. I love it and it looks beautiful on my counter.

@Allie Kraft ah thankbyou that makes sense

Lol, I'm just wondering that myself, as I recently got an Oxo grinder! I just tried 9, which was acceptable, but a bit slow, so I'm going to try 10 for tomorrow. ;)

Start at 10 or 11 and dial from there. As said elsewhere, less beans, a bit finer, more beans, a bit coarser. Everything depends on everything else, though! I try to get a process that takes about 5 minutes give or take.

Angel Arroyo practice... you develop some kind of muscle memory, in my case it took me probably 50-60 tries to finally get a flat coffee bed using a v60

Let the water cool to 190?

Less coffee grounds

I think it's the Hario V60 Drip Scale.

She said it was a 6 cup

That's pretty long for a single cup. I usually shoot for 2:30 to 3:00 for a single cup and around 4:00 to 4:30 for two cups. Any longer tends to be too bitter for me. Keep in mind you'll have to coarsen up the grind for making more coffee.

Matthew Qualls thanks for the tips! I brew mine with that time because it’s the perfect spot with the coffee I have at home right now, I guess that I can do it qith the times you use but grinding it finer

@@woopize You'd have to go coarser to get shorter times for the single cup. BUT, I'm not trying to say that what you're doing is wrong, I'm just sharing my experience with my chemex and encore. If what you're doing makes good coffee to you, then don't change a thing. My main point is that the more coffee you use, the more coarse you need to grind to avoid over extraction. Good luck experimenting!

Chemex is a batch brewer. If you're brewing that small amount a 6 cup Chemex is not the right brewer. You would need the smaller 3 cup model. As a comparison Scott Rao's V60 method uses 22g/360g for 3-3:30 minutes. Btw, I use the Aeropress with your ratio and the total brew time is 1:20 but that is with a fine grind.

maria I maria I I know I can go for a smaller model but I just love the 6 cup size and shape, and sometimes I make a full batches like after lunch on the weekends when I’m with my fanily. It’s just that when I make more than one cup I don’t get the most of my coffee because I’m not used to. I’m really thinking about buying an aeropress tho.

Percolators are literally notorious for producing bitter and burnt tasting coffee from all that over extraction.
