PLUNGER
A coffee plunger allows the coffee to brew without being exposed to pressure or the boiling process. This results in a taste that is quite different from espresso machines. You can also control the amount of ground coffee and water you use, as well as water temperature, to create a brew just the way you like it.
CHEMEX
Chemex coffee is brighter and cleaner than drip coffee, which many people will find more appealing. Chemex filters slow down the rate of extraction and require a coarser grind. The coffee will extract for longer than drip coffee, which results in a better developed flavor.
AEROPRESS
The AeroPress is a simple device, with a chamber made from tough, heat-resistant plastic. A plunger fits into the top of this, forming an airtight seal. After letting it brew for a few seconds, you press the plunger down slowly, forcing the water through the coffee grounds and the filter, into the cup below.
V60
The V60 has become increasingly popular in recent years. It delivers incredibly clear flavours and aromas, allowing coffee lovers to enjoy even the subtlest notes in their coffee. For this reason, the V60 is one of specialty coffee’s favourite brewing methods. Within 3 minutes, you can brew an incredibly tasty coffee.
