Brew method affects taste in many ways. Pour overs pull out nuanced flavors, Chemex makes very clean cups, French press yields a thick, full-bodied cup and coffee makers brew consistent, larger pots of coffee.
Moka pots make very intense, small amounts of coffee. AeroPress compacts flavors into a tight cup.
Cold brew mellows out the acidity while boosting the flavors for a bold smooth cup.
How do you choose the right brew method?
It depends how involved you want to get.
Ok, so if you’re looking for ease, use a coffee maker or an Aeropress or even make a cold brew. If you want to be more involved, but are worried about technique, go with Chemex.
If you love Espresso and your on a budget - Get a moka pot. Camping and want something portable? Bring an Aeropress!
Want to play around with your coffee? Then a V-60 pour over is for you.
Which brew method is the most versatile?
All brew methods can be versatile, but I think Chemex is a great choice for those people wanting to make coffee for more than 1 person and create a clean easy cup..
You can grind finely to make more of an immersion brew. All different levels of roast can work in a Chemex and taste beautiful!
