Chemex

CHEMEX BREWING GUIDE

Iconic & stylish but not as simple as it looks to master!

For a 6-8 cup Chemex we recommend a 1:15 brew ratio. For example, 32g of medium to coarse ground coffee with 500g of water. 

Method

1. Insert a filter paper into the Chemex and rinse it with hot water to eliminate any paper taste and preheat the vessel.
2. Discard the rinse water, add coffee grounds to the filter, place the Chemex on a scale, and reset it to zero.
3. Gently pour 70g of water over the coffee grounds, allowing them to bloom without drying out.
4. Gradually add the remaining water in a steady, circular motion, occasionally swirling the Chemex for even extraction.
5. Once all the water has passed through, remove the filter and enjoy your freshly brewed coffee.
