Flavor Notes
If the flavor notes on a coffee are light and bright, a brew method that highlights flavor clarity is probably best. If you want to be able to pick out more subtle flavors, a pour over like the Kalita or a Chemex is the right call. If the coffee you’re brewing is heavy and rich, french press or even espresso is probably the way to go.
A good rule of thumb: if the flavors on the bag sound like a fruity lemonade, then it’s probably not going to pair as well with a method that tends to produce a coffee with the texture of hot chocolate. The inverse is true as well. If the method you’re using yields coffee with a thin, tea-like texture, you’re probably not going to want to pair that with richer, dark chocolatey flavors
