- 05 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.
