Whether you use a Chemex, a V60, or a drip coffee maker, our videos will help you master each step to brew an exceptional cup of coffee.
The Chemex
Invented in 1941, the Chemex represents the perfect blend of madness and genius. It is now part of the MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art) exhibition and appears on the prestigious list of the best inventions of the 20th century, as compiled by the Illinois Institute of Technology. Thanks to its unique design and the smoothness and balance of the coffee it produces, it is the darling of filter coffee brewers.
The AeroPress
The AeroPress® was invented in 2005 by Aerobie President Alan Adler. The coffee is steeped for about 60 seconds (depending on the grind size and desired strength), then brewed through a filter by pressing the plunger down through the tube. The result? A unique brew you’ll never find anywhere else.
The French Press
In 1852, two French inventors (Meyer and Delforge) patented a device that was a precursor to the French press. A modern patent was filed in 1929 by Attilio Calimani of Milan. After undergoing a number of modifications, another patent was filed in 1958 by Faliero Bondanini, who began production in France, where the device gained popularity. French press coffee makers were subsequently distributed throughout Europe by the British company Household Articles Ltd. and, most notably, by the Danish household goods company Bodum.
The Espresso
The espresso machine is said to have been invented in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo, a restaurant owner from Turin. To meet the growing demand from his customers, he came up with the idea of building a machine to serve coffee more quickly.
Since then, the machines have obviously evolved significantly, but espresso itself is and always will be made by high-pressure percolation, rapidly forcing hot, pressurized water (9 bars) through the grounds.
The V60
The V60's simple and versatile brewing method gives you control over every aspect of the coffee extraction process.
The Vacuum Coffee Maker
The vacuum coffee maker is traditionally a manual brewing method that requires precise temperature control, attention, and skill.
