- 03 Two Hacks byLance Hedrick Lance Hedrick's approach to making the Chemex actually work — two physical hacks plus a five-pour 1:16 recipe at 40g/650g that reaches 1.25–1.5 TDS and ~18–20% extraction. The Chemex's chute clogs and bypasses are real; Lance fixes them with a refolded filter and a silicone chute cover, then runs a long, low-agitation brew that leans on the deep coarse bed for clarity rather than pour technique. Chemex 6 Cup Ratio 1:16.3 Time 5:00
- 04 V60 Adaptation byJames Hoffmann James Hoffmann's Chemex adaptation of his V60 method: bloom with stir, two main pours, agitation stir, and a gentle shake. Uses medium-fine grind since Chemex's thick filter slows drawdown. Chemex 6 Cup Ratio 1:16.7 Time 4:10
