Absolutely.. My favorite brew device is the chemex

got any tricks? i go with a coarser grind (7 out of 10) and probably use too much coffee for the water since i mostly fill it halfway up when its just me up at 5am.

i generally fill up the chemex with hot water from the sink while the kettle is starting to boil, pour it out and set it on a little cloth pad rather than cold countertop.

pour a bit in..let it 'bloom' then make circles around the edge so the coffee grounds 'fall towards the center' rather than filling it to the top.

2 - 4 times i fill it..let it soak down until its almost empty of water & fill it again around the edges so it collapses all the grounds inward that are against the sides.

it develops a nice creole sheen on top of the water in the chemex.

ETA also i'm partial to greasier coffee beans like french roast.
