I’d describe pourover coffee as brandy and Chemex coffee as Cognac. However, many other people can’t tell the difference between coffee brewed in a standard pourover brewer and coffee made with a Chemex at all. Many pourover brewers you’ll find on the market today are visually based on the original Chemex design from the 1940s.īoth kinds of brewers make delicious coffee, though the Chemex filtration process results in coffee with a slightly different taste profile that many people prefer. A coarser grind is used with Chemex brewing because the water moves through a Chemex filter more slowly, and vice versa. Along with the difference in the filters comes a difference in grind size. You may have seen a Chemex at your local coffee house and wondered “what’s the difference between brewing with that and my pourover brew setup at home?”Ī Chemex is just a type of (more expensive) pourover brewer that uses (more expensive) proprietary filters.
