  • r/Coffee · 25↑ · Why is the V60 so good (vs Chemex)?

    ...ntly been having issues with getting a Chemex brew to extract evenly, no matter what I did it just wouldn't extract properly. I was at a brew class on Saturday past at 3FE (www.3fe.com - a wonderful cafe/roastery in Dublin, Ireland), and one of the brew methods we learnt was the V60. I've had a V60 for a year since

Inside this video

“People are definitely drawn to the business because of the people that work here. And they're amazing.”
“It's not always about numbers and you know, sexy machines and stuff like that. It's, it's the people, like 100% of the time.”
