Overall guide feels good, but, IMO, while making a guide for newcomers to Chemex, Brodie should have used paper filter and explain its specifics. Newcomers for sure won’t start with cloth one. And won’t use it for a long long time

great video, nice explain, inly thing is really wonder is no wetting the filter? I spend normaly nearly as much water on washing the paper filter out with water as using for the brew? btw. can any barista say something about the "cloth filter" vs paper ? i saw james latest video was about cloth filter but never saw them on chemex. cool!

@edoalva48 Жыл бұрын

Just to add. About tips at 5:20, wouldn't lifting up the filter not work with a paper filter? Because Brodie used cloth filter. Meanwhile paper has thick tri-fold on one side that is being held by the coffee bed, water resistance, and stickiness to the glass around. Lifting it would mess it up, I think. The solution from James Hoffman was to insert chopstick to the spout air gap, or I learned from some commenters you can fold the paper itself in a way to make an excess ridge / crease that later can rest exactly on the gap therefore it wouldn't clog / stall the brew. It's possible even when it's wet because normal chemex paper is already thicker than general v60 paper, let alone using the 3 ply part.

How do you wash your filters? Don’t they stain your clothes in the washer? With just water in the sink? Don’t you get a soapy taste in the cloth? Just curious. Most ppl have paper. Some have metal cone (from Coava) and even fewer have cloth. Every filter has different flavor. This is for cloth filters not cone or paper. Regardless very good video and and you killed it man with your process 👊🏽

@brentroman 2 жыл бұрын

If you are using the brown square filters, you REALLY have to pre-rinse those things, and put through ALOT of hot water; as they will tend to leach bad tasting paper taste.

@@rehannoor4961 That right there is subjective. A quick google search can show you a myriad of temperature preferences in drinking coffee. Just do a quick research and you'll see the preheating is highly encourage even when it comes to specialty coffee. Heck even this channel encourages it. Iirc, they preheat their carafe in their V60 guide. It's just this "special" guest that failed to do so. With how haphazard everything was set-up and the fact the he didn't even use chemex filters (ya know, the actual thing that make chemex coffee). I'd take his guide with a grain of salt and doubt.

@@michaellmikeyymike you can buy a Chemex bundled with a metal filter cone too. Chemex is a brand much like AeroPress. An AeroPress doesn't stop being an AeroPress when you use a metal filter or even a Prismo. Same goes for the Chemex. I won't dispute the thick paper filter gives a distinctive clean taste but putting a different filter doesn't change the brand name of the brewer.
