Pour Over and French Press are two brewing methods that produce a very different cup even with the same beans and the same water.
Whether you use V60, Chemex, or French Press, understanding the real difference between these popular home brewing methods is far more useful than dialing in the grind level and water temperature.
In specialty coffee, you also find a wide range in coffee beans. Flavor notes, clarity, body, weight — these change how you experience a cup. From light roast to dark roast, single origin to blend, the brewing method you choose shapes how those characteristics come through.
But finding the best coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple setup and a clear understanding of your palate and preference can deliver a tasteful cup every morning.
