Great Coffee with Less Effort Note: I got the 8 cup version
My favorite appliance… Using a Chemex requires water to be heated in a tea kettle prior to brewing, and it requires a finer ground than what auto-drip machines ask for. After the water is brought to a boil, it’s important to wait for it to cool just slightly (about 30 seconds) and then you need to wet the grounds in the filter, wait for them to drain, and then fill the pot with water. Want more than a single cup of coffee? You wait for your first pour to brew, and then fill the filter again.
King of Manual Drip Devices There is a dirty little secret that many of these appliance companies don’t want you to know. Manual drip coffee from a simple cone device makes the best coffee. Here’s why. You need to have two tablespoons of coffee for every cup. The water must be just below the boiling point when it hits the grounds. Water which is poured in one little stream on top of dry grounds will cause a funnel effect an most of the grounds won’t immersed effectively.
