Will you stock the Chemex Glass Handle in 8 or 10 Cup in the future?

How long does it keep the coffee hot?

@bobbytiles 3 ай бұрын

Not long maybe five minutes

I was interested in the stainless steel filter rather than paper. Would this give the same level of “clean” filtration as the thick paper?

@AlternativeBrewing 4 жыл бұрын

No. Although it is a fine metal filter, it does allow fine particle through that end up as sediment at the bottom of your cup. Not a lot but it's significant compared to the paper filter that almost let in zero sediment.

Is the bloom time included in the total time or separate?

Included 😀

Thanks for your reviews. I love my Chemex 6 cup. My grinder just broke ... what would you suggest as the best electric grinder as a replacement (I only make coffee with a Chemex, so don't need versatility - just a grinder that is reliable and doesn't break) and which would you suggest as the best hand held grinder for making 6 cups using the Chemex (when we're camping.) Thanks!

You take a Chemex camping! 😲 ... I guess if you're super careful than it's great for making a batch brew for the whole crew 👌 I'd be so worried it'd break 😂 Suggestions for Grinders to use with the Chemex would be: •Welhome ZD-10T Grinder alternativebrewing.com.au/product/welhome-coffee-grinder-conical-burr-zd-10t/ •Baratza Encore alternativebrewing.com.au/product/baratza-encore/ • Fellow Ode alternativebrewing.com.au/product/fellow-ode-brew-grinder/ Or for HaGrindersers to take camping - You'll get a lot of inconsistent grind sizes with a ceramic burr grinder at the coarser end of the grind spectrum - so I would recommend getting at least a grinder with steel burrs like: •Timemore C2 Hand Grinder alternativebrewing.com.au/product/timemore-chestnut-c2-hand-grinder/ •Lido 2 alternativebrewing.com.au/product/lido-2-hand-grinder/

How is this compared to a regular electric coffee maker? I hate the flavor of a regular coffee maker. I use AEROPRESS only, but would be nice to get high quality flavor coffee enough for 2 people instead of 1 at a time.

How are you measuring the bloom quantity , and then the 100ml pours ? scales under the Chemex ?

@AlternativeBrewing 4 жыл бұрын

yes you could use scales or you can volumetrically count - so a nice slow pour from a goose neck kettle is around 3-5ml / second so 10seconds = 30-50ml. 👍

Could you please explain the difference (if any) between coffee brewed in a Cheney and a V60. Thanks

@philave5482 4 жыл бұрын

Both of them are cone-shaped pourovers. So the main difference between them are filters. V60 has 1-layer papers, so they result cup has more oils in it.

@AlternativeBrewing 4 жыл бұрын

The Paper Filter would be the major difference. Chemex brewers are only made from Glass, where as the V60 has various Cone filter materials such as Ceramic, Metal, Plastic and Glass. -However the V60 is ore suited to 2-3 Cups max - where as the Chemex easily brews for 6-8 cups.

What do you think about the difference between Chemex and Brewista Hourglass? Could you really use the Brewista Hourglass with chemex or V60 filter papers? Great review!

Also if brewing for more than one cup, how much coffee should I add? 70gm with 1180ml?

@AlternativeBrewing 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it's ideal around the 6g for every 100ml of water. So this would equate to 72g of coffee 👍 close enough 😀

@GerryScullion 3 жыл бұрын

How do you know the volume of water to add? Are you roughly adding it? I mean, I use a Stagg from Fellow, but if I was to follow your video of doing a 210ml pulse, I'd need to measure it out and add the kettle (presuming you don't do this!)

@AlternativeBrewing 3 жыл бұрын

IN the video I use a set of scales - and in most coffee brewing to recipe I'll do the same - but pouring to an approximate - although it won't yield you reliable consistent results - you can still brew a good coffee guessing water amount if you've practised enough.

hey bro can you explain the purpose of wood handle? its just for a grip or theres something reason maybe? and the belly button and the chemex

@AlternativeBrewing 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there! The “belly-button” of the Chemex indicates the carafe is half filled and once it's at the bottom of the wooden collar it indicates it's full.

@davidringgenberg8538 4 жыл бұрын

Do you change the coffee to water ratio when you go to 4 or 6 cups? Is it better to change the grind?

@AlternativeBrewing 4 жыл бұрын

I would change the grind for sure, depending on how strong you prefer your coffee too though. I like a very rich and heavy cup, or else you can increase the ratio to allow a little more clarity in the cup

Does the reusable filter make as good coffee as the paper?

@AlternativeBrewing 3 жыл бұрын

There are qualities to the METAL filter that are not present using Paper filter and vice versa. You can get a similar tasting coffee with both however the Metal filter broadly speaking, will produce a heavier more full flavoured brewed with some sediment versus a brew formt he Paper filter that has more clarity of flavour and is much cleaner.

just rinse it? no soap?

@AlternativeBrewing 6 ай бұрын

If you're rinsing straight after with hot water - then soap should not be needed. If you let it dry out - then soap may help. Usually though - hot water removes coffee stains better than anything else.

@shekss5457 2 жыл бұрын

Ik this is a year late, but I personally use a little glass tea plate (Fits perfectly on top and keeps the steam inside) you can also try placing the pot on top of a over mitt as that will keep heat from escaping thru the bottom
