You will need

• A Chemex
• Chemex bleached filters
• A burr grinder
• A timer
• A scale
• A kettle with a narrow pouring spout
• A stirring device
• Filtered water

 

Instructions

1. Start bringing your water to a boil
2. Place your filter in the chemex with the three folds facing the spout
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove paper flavor
4. Pour rinse water out, and make sure filter is clinging to the brewer evenly on the bottom of the cone.
5. Weigh out 40 grams of coffee, and grind to a coarse, sand like texture (similar to french press.)
6. Once your water is boiling, transfer it to your pouring kettle
7. Start your timer and slowly pour a little water, about 60 grams, to cover the grounds evenly, and start the bloom. Let the bloom go for 40 seconds.
8. After 40 seconds start pouring gently on top of the bloom in small circles, avoiding the edges.
9. Once the coffee has reached about half-way up the cone, start pouring very slowly in the middle.
10. Keep pouring very slowly until you have reached your desired brew volume, in this case, 640 grams of water, once achieved, give the slurry a slow stir to loosen any coffee clinging to the edges of the filter.
11. The brew should be finished at 3:30 to 4:00 minutes, if it brews too fast, try a finer grind, if it takes too long, try a coarser one.
12. Compost your filter, and enjoy your coffee.
