Chemex Coffee Maker Brewing Guide
This is the first in a series of instructional videos to enable everyone to prepare excellent coffee in their own home. In this video we feature the Chemex Brewer and the music of Mucca Pazza (mucca-pazza.org). Enjoy, and happy brewing.
The inventor of the beautiful Chemex brewer, Peter Schlumbohm, once said, “With the Chemex, even a moron can make good coffee.” Now, Intelligentsia Coffee has produced a terrific video that will show morons how to make terrific coffee.

My First Home-Made Espresso
Congratulations, so you have decided to make your own espressos at home! It is a good decision that is a lot easier than you think. In fact, super automatic espresso machines will have a hot steaming cup of espresso complete with milk froth ready for you from bean to cup in 20 to 25 seconds. And although semi-automatics do require more attention, skill, and time, it is all worth it for the perfect cup of espresso.

Generally more features mean more convenience and speed, so do your homework and choose a machine that fits your budget and needs.
