Maybe I’m doing my chemex wrong it always tastes bitter too me and I never taste the flavors on the bag! I also buy the best beans you can find w specialty coffee 🤦♂️
@kylemessineo8542 try these 3 things: 1. Use original chemex filter 2. Set your grinder right, incorrect grinding will give you bad coffe, there is a lot of try and error here so be patient 3. Don't use dark roast, use medium roast, will taste way better on chemex Good luck and enjoy coffee
Chemex is the iPhone of pour-over coffee brewers 😅 There’s less expensive alternatives that get the job done, but the coffee looks so beautiful in that glass.
I have had my Chemex for years and love it. It was a gift from my wife’s grandfather, lord only knows how long he had it. I love making coffee for people with it and their reaction of “wow this is good” is always an ego boost. 👍🏽☕️
I find it fascinating that there are so many videos on brewing methods yet so few on coffee. I know this theory is kind of edgy, but I'd go as far and claim that the choice of cofee is even more important than whether you decide to brew in the Chemex or in the V60. I have many coffee brewers at home (aeropress, french press, metal filter, V60, Melita, Chemex etc.)- but sometimes, when I buy coffee that just isn't that good, neither of them will make a good cup wheras when I buy good coffee, it will most certainly always taste awesome. Yes, it will taste a bit diffetent and if I've found a good bag of beans I want to try all methods with it. But at the end of the day, it's really the coffee...
Couldn't agree with you more Max. Good quality coffee is definitely the most important factor. How you brew can bring out or accentuate certain flavours of the coffee.
V60 is amazing, chemex I’ve never used but I guess I’d use the same technique I use for v60 so I guess the result would be the same 😅
Chemex team here, easier to learn, clear coffee, taste is great. It is just way to good and enjoyable.
Couldn't agree more!

Yeah I love it, it looks awesome!

V60 switch takes the crown
Thanks! Great video! So less acidity when using v60 or Chemex?
Less acidity with the Chemex
@@volcanicacoffee Thank you 😊 🙏
You are so lovely. These vids are great.
Glad you like them!
V60 for me, but Chemex does come super close
Yeah, since getting into specialty coffee, I love using both for different coffees
@volcanicacoffee Or even getting different results with the same coffee!
I'd have coffee with her anytime! Thank you for sharing
Any time!

That goes without saying. I think anyone who does pour overs are aware of this
