Coffee

Recovered a vintagey chemex out of my mom's hoarder house - still in the box new. Have been trying it out in place of my trusty french press and dang...

I highly recommend the glass handle Chemex over the classic wooden collar, if anyone's in the market. The leather straps on the wooden collar Chemex never seem to re-tie as nicely as they are originally when you clean it.

I make Chemex coffee every day. It is the best. My rules:

Pour 450 ml water into electric kettle. Turn on kettle.
Put new filter in Chemex pot
Rinse filter in hot water from sink until it is all wet and suctiony and the Chemex pot is hot
Pour out water, making sure filter stays in place
Add 4 tablespoons / 27 g medium roast coffee ground a bit coarser than medium
Shake Chemex a bit to flatten the ground
Add orange peel and cardamom if you like
Gently pour over the grounds 100ml of the water from the kettle that stopped boiling about a minute ago
Wait for a minute.
Continue adding all the water, soaking the grounds evenly, in any number of incremental little pours during the next 2-3 minutes, making sure you don't let the grounds dry out too much in between pours
Pour into a mug and spill that thing all over your shoes
Stop at Dunkin Donuts and drink a paper cup of their bogwater.

i pretty much do the same thing but i use 42 g of fresh ground beans with 750 mL water because i like to have a more than one mug in the morning

I do flash-iced most of the time so 500ml of water to 47g of beans with a handful of ice in the carafe and ice in the pint glass or thermos I'm drinking from, which gets me to about 750ml of water total.

cold brew time is upon us

aw hell yea

except I'm lazy and use a Chemex in a Bonavita automatic maker

also I'm lazy and eyeball the ice, 500ml water, 42-50g of coffee depending on the roast

i'm considering making the move from aero to chemex, what do you guys think, crowd-sourcing over here

i've put my stock into the kalitta wave dripper (stainless steel)

My favorite is the Bonavita immersion dripper when I'm not doing the Chemex/Bonavita - looks like a V60 or wave, but you pour the water in and then push a bar to release it once it has steeped.

It's ceramic so if you preheat with hot water it retains the heat well for a 3-4 minute steep

i have had to stop the cof because it wasn't good for my anxiety.

now drink decaf :c

decof

tj's cold brew concentrate for me

doin the cof + milk

wut the franch call coffee o lay or suh'um

oh god so dépassé

virgin taste buds

my recent trashbag maneuver: make a pot of cold press, drink half, put the other half in my mug, put it in the fridge til tomorrow, bam, i have created what i call a "fuck you cold brew" for the next day

a fuck brew

what i use mostly (ceramic), chemex have thicker filters so its a lil cleaner cup if thats what youre into

im back to makin the cold brew tho now that the weathers good, was just drinking some and was like wow this is insanely chocolatey

omg caffeinate me daddy

chemex is good but takes too long. Kalita wave all the way. Once I start pouring it's like 2 minutes til its done.

I have been getting into this delectable stuff, honestly coffee and ginger candy is what you need people.

wrong image right brand though, i meant to post the Ginger Coffee flavour.

what are some good beans? I usually get the costco rwandan or mayorga

theyre all good

stainless, glass or ceramic, stevie? and does it only make one cup, or two?

Nescafe Alta Rica, black no sugar.

I got the glass and I got the 2-cup one. Perfect for company!

Has Coffee Gotten Too Fancy?

i made my first iced coffee of the year yesterday, it was very good. if it's above 70 degrees i will make it iced

my hotel for part of my trip last week had a stumptown coffee connected to the lobby

good cof

the millionaire who lives in L.A. says coffee is too fancy xps

My Bonavita brewer died and for half a second I looked at the Ratio Eight then asked myself what the fuck was wrong with me that I was even considering a $600 automated Chemex.

I never gto tha avocado - why would a vegetable that tries to be a ballsack be a butter-like fatty fruit freak that drops onto hot tins roofs, booming sound, only to invest is signature knobby shell in a soft lady finger puking journale way?
