I just pour hot water over grounds and coffee comes out

I personally can't be bothered with scales and timers, and you personally developed a feel for the right ratio by now; but just as a reminder to people new to making coffee: the amount of water in relation to the amount of coffee and the time the grounds are in contact with that water does matter A LOT.

    This is true. I didn't mean to imply that you should just start vibe brewing, but that it's pretty easy to do it right with little trial and error.

    I should maybe elaborate that all I did was read the "instructions" that came with the Chemex. 1tbsp of medium ground per cup of coffee. Boil water in an electric kettle, let it sit for a minute and pour a splash on the grounds to bloom them. Wait ~30 seconds (this is when I'm usually loading up my toaster). Start pouring the hot water. Coincidentally, the top part of the neck is the exact capacity of my mug so I need only one pass to make a cup, so that's nice.
