FRENCH PRESS
The French press, is a full immersion brewing method. Coffee grounds sit suspended in brewing water for 4 minutes before a plunger is pressed, filtering the coffee using a wire mesh.
The full immersion process creates a thick body, partially due to actual particulate suspended in the product. A coarse grind is used to compensate for the long water exposure, and to prevent grinds from getting through the coarse mesh. French presses come in many sizes, and are ideal for serving larger groups.

AEROPRESS
This method has become popular for use with some of the best specialty coffee. This method combines filter brewing with full immersion, as well as the addition of manual pressure. Coffee brews in a plastic chamber, and is then forced by a plunger to pass through a paper filter at the end of the chamber. Aeropress brews a more concentrated cup than most filter methods.

CHEMEX
Its main feature: Proprietary, chemically bonded filters. These filters are of a thicker gauge than most paper filters. For this reason, Chemex grind is often in fact coarser than most pour over methods, despite the large opening. Chemex is excellent for serving several cups of coffee. Depending on the size of the model, you can do a single serving or brew for a group.
Fun Fact: It looks like a laboratory apparatus, was invented by a chemist named Peter Schlumbohm in 1941.

V-60 / Origami - POUR OVER
The “V60” in the name refers to the shape (V) and the angle of slope (60°). The V60 has a couple of features that make it different from other pour over methods:
· Curved grooves. The intention of these is to create motion during the brewing process, providing agitation and even extraction. These grooves do, however, create the potential for channeling and therefore unintentional bypass. A relatively large opening. V60 grind size is generally slightly finer to slow the flow of water.
