Why Chemex Brewing Stands Out
Chemex brewing is beloved for its clarity and nuance. Unlike immersion methods like French press, Chemex uses gravity-driven extraction through a thick filter, which eliminates oils and sediment while preserving flavor complexity.
Our dark roast Chemex coffee is developed to align with:
A longer brew time (4–4.5 minutes)
Clean, layered flavor clarity
Lower perceived bitterness and acidity
Ideal body-to-acidity balance for slow-sippers and black coffee drinkers
Whether you brew one cup or a full carafe, this roast will adapt beautifully.
Chemex vs Other Brewing Methods
Here's how our Chemex roast compares across flavor clarity, intensity, and brewing design:
| Brew Method | Extraction Style | Body | Acidity | Strength | Brew Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemex | Gravity / Filter | Medium | Medium | Clean, smooth | 4–4.5 min |
| Moka Pot | Pressure | Full | Low | Bold, espresso-style | 4–5 min |
| Espresso | High Pressure | Full | Low | Intense, crema-rich | 30 sec |
| French Press | Immersion | Very Full | Low | Rich, thick | 4 min |
| Pour Over | Gravity / Filter | Medium | Medium | Balanced, chocolatey | 3–4 min |
| Cold Brew | Cold Immersion | Full | Very Low | Sweet, mellow | 12–24 hrs |
