Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Begin by boiling water in a kettle.
  • While the water is heating, place a Chemex paper filter in the brewing cone of the Chemex. Ensure the side with multiple folds faces the spout.
  • Rinse the paper filter with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the Chemex. Discard the rinse water.
  • Grind your coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency, similar to sea salt.
  • Add the ground coffee to the rinsed paper filter in the Chemex. Gently shake to level the coffee bed.
  • Once the water has reached around 200°F (93°C), start the brewing process.
  • Begin by pouring about 120 ml of water (twice the weight of coffee grounds) over the coffee grounds to saturate them evenly. Allow it to bloom for at least 45 seconds.
  • After the bloom, slowly pour the remaining hot water in a circular motion over the coffee grounds, ensuring even wetting. Aim to pour in stages to maintain a consistent water level without overflowing the Chemex.
  • Allow the coffee to drip through the filter into the bottom of the Chemex. The entire brewing process should take around four to five minutes.
  • Once all the water has passed through the filter, discard the used coffee grounds and paper filter.
  • Serve the brewed coffee immediately and enjoy the rich flavors and aromas that the Chemex brewing method brings out.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio and grind size to suit your taste preferences. And don't forget to appreciate the elegant design of your Chemex as you savor your freshly brewed coffee!
