Does anyone have any experience using a Bodum burr grinder, If so how what do you rate the grinder?
Bodum Bistro Grinder - Recommended Setting for Chemex?
I use the setting two notches to the right (coarser) of auto drip. Seemed to work great for me. :)
More on reddit.comI got a Chemex, Bodum Bistro grinder, and a CJ4000 scale as a birthday present. What I don't have is any idea what I'm doing.
Well, I hate to be that guy but start by reading the sidebar, lot's of useful stuff there.
Then do a search for Chemex in this subredit. what I have learned so far is that there isn't a perfect amount of water per grind per coffee weight, it's something that varies depending on the coffee bean and your taste in coffee.
I'm learning how to use this particular method too and what I'm doing is trying different grind size and amount of water and keeping a log on a notepad so I can figure out what works best for me and being able to reproduce the results later.
Here's a video that I saw here recently that's a nice guide for beginners, and here's the discussion thread.
Just in case, right now with the beans I have I'm using 21gm of coffee per 350gm of water.
