This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.
