A WORD FROM COURTNEY
What I like about the Chemex is that it makes a cup of coffee with a rich and full body. It’s similar to Drip coffee, but this method requires a bit more attention. Coffee should be ground more coarse than Drip but not as coarse as a french press. I will admit that this method intimidates me a little bit but once you get the hang of it and it’s design, it’s a pretty fun brewing method to share with others. I like our single-origin Peru with this method because I think it captures its creamy body and citrus notes well and accenting the right amount of acidity.
