Step by step guide
- Prepare all ingredients and equipment
- Heat brewing water to 95°C
- Fold filter paper and place in Chemex. (Double side to the spout)
- Rinse filter paper with hot water to remove papery taste and preheat Chemex
- Grind the coffee at a medium-coarse grind (granulated sugar)
- Pour the ground coffee into the brewer and gently shake to flatten the coffee
- Place the Chemex on scales and tare (zero)
- Start your timer as soon as you begin pouring
- Aiming to saturate all of the grinds, bloom the coffee by pouring 80 grams of water before 0:30 seconds
- At 0:30, using a gentle circular motion, pour the rest of the water until there is 500g in total.
- Wait for all the water to pass through the coffee grounds
- Your finished brew time should be around 4:30 minutes.
- Enjoy :)
Notes:
If your coffee drips through too slow and tastes bitter/ strong, make your grind setting coarser
If your coffee drips through too fast and tastes sour/ weak, make your grind setting finer
