The BODUM is better than the CHEMEX! -& Best Recipe for Bodum POUR-OVER coffee maker

[@Southern_Perspective]

You know what, you made a good video here. Underrated.

[@blacksmithx2520]

Yes the water running thriugh the coffee much too fast was a problem I noticed right away when I used this machine but I actually found my own workaround to fix this issue. Rather than buying paper filters I actually decided to go with a finer grind of my coffee beans. It was finer than corse but not exactly as fine as espresso grind. The finer grind held the water much longer and I was able to make a much better tasting coffee. I may try using paper as you suggest though because I want to be open to all ideas to make a better brew.

[@Dr.Duck22]

Some tricks I found to using the metal filter - still use a fine grind as to allow the water to stay in contact longer - let the coffee settle before pouring after brew time, don't mix - expect a coffee closer to french press since the paper filter isn't there pulling out the silt and fines

[@polrusstomakriss9001]

I still use a coffee filter even for the French Press and it was amazing

[@dylanmckinney8563]

I'll be real, I bought this because I wanted a pour over and this is the one you can find at Walmart. The one I got is an 8 cup Bodum with a cork sleeve and leather tassel instead of rubber. I thought with the metal filter I'd forego the paper filters, but now that I watched this I'll be using paper filters. Sadly they were out of gooseneck kettles, so I'll be winging it with a tea kettle for now.

[@shutup526]

I'm cheap- so I'm using my french press to pour the coffee over the beans and it works perfectly!

[@Patrick28538]

How did it go?

[@EerieCK]

did you buy paper filters since then?

[@polrusstomakriss9001]

@@EerieCK The filters for the bodum is amazing, after you put water through it, you put the paper filter first and then the metal filter and it goes through rather nicely and quickly getting roughly a good amount of a good brew and by far, no sediment, a very clean brew

[@VoodooViking]

I have a Bodum, I also like to boil my coffee in water on the stove and use the provided filter to separate the grounds from the coffee. Like how the Norwegians or cowboy coffee or military jungle coffee is done. I find this works the best. But different methods for how I’m feeling. Or wanting.

[@romannomad4332]

The paper filters are a key to delicious coffee

[@danielburford1441]

can I have the name or link to purchase those filters? Edit: I found them and purchased them thanks for the tip!

[@binky6659]

thanks for the vid. love my bodum. i use it every day.

[@shutup526]

Trying this recipe now and it ALREADY looks better than my first cup! Can't wait to taste! UPDATE- It tastes amazing but it is STRONG! So unless you like a strong brew, I would shy away from this recipe

[@EerieCK]

I know I'm a bit too late, but did you do a dark roast coffee ?

[@shutup526]

@@EerieCK Yep! Currently using Starbucks Italian Roast but will switch to something more sustainable after I'm done; I've tried local dark roasts and they just don't cut it, so it's a journey to find the best...but a fun journey! Good luck friend

[@EerieCK]

@@shutup526 I was a dark roast person all my life, but the way how this method sucks out the taste of the coffee and additional sweetness to it that I never tasted, I downgraded to Medium Roast, and it's amazing ")

[@danielburford1441]

I use two only scoops of coffee when I make mine I also drink the darkest roast of coffee. Edit: I've been drinking death wish coffee

[@error.418]

@@shutup526 a) consider light roast. dark roast is like a well done steak. light roast is like a medium rare steak. the latter has a lot more flavor. b) avoid Starbucks roasts, mostly because they consistently over roast.

[@MJA5]

Wow, the recipe is perfect! Thanks a lot. Glad this was the first video I watched!

[@yaboi5047]

Great review, liked and subbed. Ordering mine now. 👍☕

[@EdelAyGo]

I was looking for this video. I mean, chemex is expensive, here in mexico you can find it from 100-200dlls which is a lot, and the BPO cost around 20 bucks, so yeah I'll buy the BPO... I'll forget about instant coffee with the tip you gave us, I'm looking forward to put my hands on the Bodum

[@arilu86]

La compraste? Estoy en el dilema y me está convenciendo la Bodum...

[@MJA5]

@@arilu86 compré esta combinacíon que se mostró, y te aseguro, funciona muy bien. Los resultados son 100% mejor que el instante. Para estar claro, use café premolido Gevalia, tipo colombiano tostado medio. Será mejor con granos que uno muele si mismo, pero no querría tanta molestia.

[@Gvijinfilms]

DONT USE THE METAL FILTER WITH THE PAPER FILTERS ive experienced the best results using #4 paper cones (you can find them literally anywhere) but if your looking for a slightly cleaner taste I just double the filters and it Tates immaculate 👌🏾

[@isaacvelasco]

How do you not use the metal cone? I've used the #4 paper and it opens up and all your coffee and water fly right through to the bottom of the carafe. It's a mess. I'd love to find a hack to not have to use this plastic cone thing

[@Gvijinfilms]

@@isaacvelasco what I do is fold the filter to where the riveted side points to the bottom, that way when you pour your coffee the water won't come shooting threw the bottom. (I literally went threw the same issue lol) kinda like a triangle

[@Gvijinfilms]

@npgSymboL you can do it either way honestly, but the metal is known to leave a weird taste after brewing

[@EerieCK]

@@Gvijinfilms here is the thing, you're saying that "metal is known to leave" ... I don't read scientific reports, I just make it and taste it. I can assure you that the coffee comes out great every single time

[@Gvijinfilms]

@@EerieCK do what the heart tells you my friend! 🙏🙏

[@donny0742]

I have only been using my metal filter and it has been driving me crazy because it lets grounds in and allows the water to go in to fast

[@Fredd165]

Definitely need the paper filter as well!!

[@rickybravo3275]

Nice video brot so good and professional oh yeah God bless peace dude

[@_Argos]

I have tested both and neither of them comes close to hario's Dpw 3. no plastic no paper only cotton that you keep in water after use. More oils, more taste, and much softer. For me perfect

[@pablovi77]

If you’re using the V60 filters, wouldn’t it be the same doing a V60? I mean, you’re doubling the filtration, so, it’s something like in between a V60 and Chemex.

[@polrusstomakriss9001]

Yup

[@marcusj1710]

I just bought this one, and the taste was weak. Thanks for the advice man. Great channel

[@MrRourk]

Cheaper is a V60 or Merllita #2 and 600ml Pyrex Beaker

[@LeftyFox2]

What size is the Hario V-60 filter? No. 2?

@@serpensphile what why? because I could go out to the grocery store and buy any filter, but I enjoy getting this delivered to my house. At the moment this is the best price and quality on Amazon.

[@Mvrderface]

the point is to be sustentable, i won't use something that goes to trash after. cause i don't think i can recycle the filters..

[@warrenhooper1218]

You can compost them including the grounds.

[@MJA5]

@@warrenhooper1218 indeed. When you compare the amount of resources used compared to buying a to-go cup at a gas station or that green and white place, the use of one #4 paper filter for a half liter of coffee is paltry, and as you mentioned, 100% compostable.

[@warrenhooper1218]

@@MJA5 Great comments. Thanks for your reply.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Thank you for this review...I think I want this one now : )

[@beebop7543]

That’s it, I’m buying the Bodum.

[@collegekitchen4347]

I am still using this method since then and everybody likes it. I am a big dark roast fan, but with this Bodum try out a medium roast coffee.

[@andresubri]

Just my 2 cents here. Why not just get the Hario v60 kit, pretty cheap on Amazon and the paper actually fits the brewer. And it’ll taste the same since the paper filter is the one doing the job. This does not taste better than Chemex, it’s just a different flavor profile

[@EerieCK]

I mean... you're not incorrect, but you are. You can literally buy any brand of filter and they will all fit

[@marcusj1710]

Its too thin. If you needed a thin paper, you might as well make a v60

[@EerieCK]

I had it. Sucks.

[@pablovi77]

I just tried it for the first time, with the V60 filter. And didn’t really ended up with a good tasting coffee. I have better results with a straight up French press. I’m unable to get any flavor from the Bodum Pour Over.

[@kane20seven]

What size paper filters do you use with it??

[@razgvozd]

it doesn't use paper. Just metal. But you can get better metal filters.

[@razgvozd]

problem with all pour overs with no time-rease is the gooseneck size. You can't control water streak.

[@EerieCK]

Just ignore the other comment. We tried multiple metal filters and all of those leaks too much. Use the filter that comes with the Bodum and add a size 2 or 4 filters that you can find in any grocery store.

[@pablovi77]

He’s using the V60 filters for V60 02 I think.

[@AdamAdam-ut7dn]

[@shekharmoona544]
