Chemex 8-Cup vs OE Lido 3 Manual Coffee Grinder

I decided to give pour-over-coffee a try, and so I bought this Chemex with a gooseneck electric kettle. Currently I am using a cheap $20 blade grinder, but even then the resulting coffee from this is amazing. My first attempt I failed miserably because my coffee grinds were too course.

I had brewed it with my Encore last year and it was pretty decent at best, but I purchased a Lido ET back in August of last year and I can definitely say it has way more clarity now!.

Presently I'm reheating my cups of coffee in the microwave, but I'm considering getting an insulated stainless steel carafe to store the coffee and keep it hot. A friend says microwaving the coffee makes it bitter, but I have to believe he's overheating the coffee because I don't get that from just warming it up, so I'm undecided about the carafe at present

I had one of these years ago and forgot why I didn't like it. While it is very stylish and makes an initial nice cup of coffee it loses heat very quickly. And reheating on the stove is not the best.

6. Discard preheat water and begin by pouring a small amount over your grounds. If your beans are good and fresh they will bubble ("bloom") when you pour that first water. The general idea is to get all the grounds wet before you begin the Pour
