Summary: This is a very flavorful coffee! I had a cup made using the Chemex method at Press Coffee in north Scottsdale and really enjoyed it. This way of brewing creates a very clean and crisp cup of coffee.
Chemex Method
Press Coffee Roasters offer three different ways to brew a single cup of coffee. Below is their list that is posted on the wall......
Although, I enjoyed the coffee brewed the Chemex way, I also want to try the Clever and v60 brewing to see if there is one that I prefer. Also, I bought the Sumatra beans to use in my Aero Press and plan to compare the two methods for flavor and richness. Generally, I really like a coffee that has the full flavor of the beans and have found that different brewing, grinding and temperature can make a big difference in the experience of capturing the complete flavor of the final outcome......a perfect cup of Joe!
Summary: This was my second time to Press Coffee at the Scottsdale Quarter in Arizona. It is a welcoming and friendly place and the staff has always been friendly and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend you stop by and get a coffee to go or stay awhile and have fun people watching!
