Comparison of Chemex with french press How does coffee made with the Chemex drip maker compare with that made from a French Press? I do know that a French Press coffee maker is a mess to clean and I'd expect the Chemex to be to be less but how does the resulting coffee compare?

If you use the Chemex properly - rinse the paper filter with boiling water before brewing, the coffee is smoother and less bitter (in a french press the grounds and accompanying oils are bathing the coffee)
