My go to weekend (or when I have time) setup for the past year or so. I use a SCAA approved drip brewer due to time constraints during the week. I still grind before I brew though.

I feel that you loose a lot of the coffee flavor notes,when you loose the acidity. That's what makes horse races I tend to drink it full strength and can go for about 3 hours without blinking.

@veloaudio chemex is always good. Which SCAA brewer do you use?

^^I find Chemex hit and miss. It's the hardest of all pourovers to dial in for me. Kalita is the easiest, but a great cup in a Kalita will not taste any where close to a great Chemex. I stopped using my v60 as I find it rather variable as well. Used to get some great v60's tho. Ease and consistency, Kalita for me every time. Then v60, then Chemex.

For peak taste, Chemex, v60, Kalita. Kalita's average is higher than the other 2 by a few points by far, for me…

I'm a picky snob :).

I'm strictly Chemex these days.

I use the KitchenAid KCM0802 (non digital). It was given to me as a gift but it has been great. Price is reasonable compared to the other more expensive SCAA approved brewers.

Thanks man, I havent used a machine in a while but wouldnt kick the idea out for day to day.

Picked up a bag of house blend from Intelligentsia, pretty good but I'm used to stumptown so it doesn't quite match up for me.

A good summation Snowy.  Interesting.

We went to New York a few years ago and stayed at The Ace Hotel, which had a Stumptown next door. This was my first real intro into great coffee. Great Ethiopian coffee with lovely chocolate brownies…

I think I had a Chemax there, purely through intrigue than knowing anything about them.
