Brewing Instructions

For a specific coffee, refer to exact brewing parameters such as dose, grind size, ratio, and water temperature on the product page.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Chemex

Chemex filter

Freshly ground coffee (medium-coarse grind)

Kettle

Scale

Timer

Mug or server

Step 2: Prepare the Equipment

Place the Chemex filter in the Chemex, ensuring the triple-fold side is against the spout.

Rinse the filter with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the Chemex. Discard the rinse water.

Step 3: Measure and Grind Coffee

Use a medium-coarse grind size for the coffee beans, similar to sea salt consistency. Measure out your coffee beans with a ratio of 1:16. (coffee to water).

Step 4: Add Coffee Grounds

Add the coffee grounds to the filter in the Chemex, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bloom the Coffee

Place the Chemex on the scale, and start the timer.

Slowly pour just enough hot water (about twice the weight of the coffee grounds) to saturate them evenly. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30-45 seconds.

Step 6: Pours After Bloom

First Pour: Begin pouring water in a slow, circular motion starting from the center, working your way out. Add water until you reach about half of the total brew weight.

Second Pour: After allowing the coffee bed to settle a bit, pour the water in the same slow circular motion until you reach about 75% of the total brew weight.

Third Pour: Lastly, pour the remaining water in a controlled manner to reach the total brew weight.

Step 7: Let the Coffee Drip

Once all water has been poured, let the coffee drip through the filter completely. This process should take around 4-4.5 minutes depending on the grind size.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the filter and discard the used grounds.

Pour the brewed coffee into your mug or server.
