Every brew method tells a different story. Which suits yours? Here's how they compare — and which AMASHI coffee to pair with each.
 
Brew Time
Chemex: 4–5 minutes. Gentle and meditative.
French Press: 4 minutes + pressing.
Moka Pot: 3–4 minutes on stovetop.
 
Grind Size
Chemex: Medium-coarse
French Press: Coarse
Moka Pot: Fine, almost like sugar
 
Flavor Intensity
Chemex: Bright and subtle — try it with Geisha or Pink Bourbon.
French Press: Bold, rounded — perfect with Castillo Premium.
Moka Pot: Strong, concentrated — ideal for Java Natural or Red Bourbon.
 
Cleanliness in Cup
Chemex: Very clean, no sediment
French Press: Some residual oils and fines
Moka Pot: Rich but less clarity
 
Our tip?
For elegance → Chemex + Geisha
For comfort → Press + Castillo
For intensity → Moka + Java Natural
