The Chemex is pretty good for pour overs. The tricky part is keeping that water as hot as possible while you’re continually pouring water slowly over it. It’s almost impossible to get a good pour over from a place like Starbucks because it takes a lot of babysitting to make it the right way.
I’ve changed over to Cuban coffee using one of those little kettles. I generally use La llave, or Pilón, but Café Bustelo will also work. Once you get it that potent, it’s hard to go back to a French press or a pour over.
