I'd check out James Hoffmann's YouTube channel -- he's the Alton Brown of coffee, which is a reference I hope you get.
I was a Chemex user for years before I went to espresso. You can get GREAT coffee out of a pour-over rig, but there are tricks to it.
- theGnuMe 3y agoThanks, I watched it. I like strong coffee.. I feel like the chemex overextracts and is bitter and overly clean. I am able to make a strong pot of coffee with a pour over no issues and a regular paper filter. But I'll try his technique tomorrow. I probably have my water volume measure wrong.
- nunez 3y agoIf you want stronger coffee, use a lower water-to-coffee ratio. For example, the standard ratio is 16:1 water to coffee, i.e. ~300g water to 18.5g coffee. To make it stronger, add an extra gram. Grind size doesn't affect strength.
