Chemex Brewing Guide

BREWING GUIDE

CHEMEX

Heat filtered water to 208°F in a gooseneck kettle.
Insert the Chemex filter into the brewer with the three fold side facing the spout.
Rinse the filter with hot water and discard water
Weigh out 30g of whole bean coffee and grind on a medium coarse grind size.
Transfer your coffee grounds into the Chemex filter, and shake to level.
After setting your Chemex on the scale, tare your scale to 0 and start your timer counting up.
Pour 60g of water directly over the coffee bed in concentric circles ensuring the grounds are fully saturated. Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to bloom.
Pour an additional 60g of water and wait an additional 30 seconds.
Pour additional water as needed in pulses every 30 seconds until you reach the total water weight of 480g by 3 minutes. Aim to pour your water in concentric circles to allow even saturation.
Our total brew time goal including the drain time is 4 - 4:30 minutes, though each coffee is unique.
Once water has drained, remove filter with spent grounds and compost
Give the coffee a thorough mix before serving
