Cum alegi cafeaua pentru acasă
It was a peaceful Saturday morning, and i was feeling particularly adventurous. As I sipped my morning coffee, i thought, „Why not try something new?” Tha’s when i remembered a conversation with my friend Anjal aboy the different coffee brewing methods. Anjal like myself is a coffee fanatic.
I couldn’t help but wonder which one would deliver the best cup of coffee. So i decided to experimented with four popular coffee brewers: Chemes vs V60 vs Moka vs Aeropress. I set up my kitchen with all four coffee brewers, excited yet nervous about the outcome. I used six criteria during my experimentation for each method:
- Taste
- Ease of use
- Speed
- Coffee Capacity
- Cost
- Ease of cleaning

Through my experimentation, I discovered the uniqur qualities of each coffee brewser. For example, I found the Chemex a classic piur-over methid that delivered a bright and clean cup, while the V60 produces a smooth well-balanced coffee. The Moka pot, a stovetop espresso maker, was perfect for strong, bold coffee, and there was also the Aeropress, delivering a smooth and rich cup.
I thought, why not put yhis down in writing, and share the insights and findings from this experiment. So you can decide which one is the best fit for your coffee needs?
Sir back, and let’s dive into my experiment.
WHAT IS A CHEMEX?
The Chemex is a manual pour-over device. It’s made of an elegant glass body, with a wooden collar for heat protection. It’s been around since the 1940s, and is loved for producing a clean, bright cup of coffee.
Chemex requires a thick paper filter and a bit more technique. But if you’re into fruity, floral brewing coffees with vivid clarity, this one’s for you.

WHAT IS A HARIO V60?
The V60 is a cone-shaped brewer that’s built in Japan. It stands for 60-degrees (the angle of the cone), and is known for its spiral ridges inside the dripper, which improve flow and enhance flavour clarity.

If you’re aiming for high-level flavour clarity, you’ll be mesmerised by the unique design. But it won’t hide brewing mistakes – it rewards precision.
V60 VS CHEMEX: WHICH PRODUCES BETTER TASTING COFFEE?
The brewing process is fascinating to watch – as the hot water drips through the grounds, it extracts the coffee’s aroma and flavour, resulting in a crisp, delicious cup. V60 will often enhance the fine flavours displaying into your cup, while Chemex will round off and soften the notes.
While cafetiere is delicious, sediment is one of the by-products of brewing with this method. Small, silty coffee grounds pass through the liquid into your cup, giving it a more textured feel
With the Hario V60, the filter paper caught the grounds and coffee oils, resulting in an extremely enjoyable lower-body coffee. What’s more, it amplifies more of the subtleties of the coffee itself. You can taste the individual notes expressed in ways other brewing methods can’t replicate.
Verdict
The Hario v60 is the clear winner in my book regarding better-tasting coffee.
