The Classic Chemex Brew
You will need:
50g of your favorite coffee beans, medium-coarse grind
700ml of filtered water, just off the boil

700ml of filtered water, just off the boilInstructions
- First, rinse your Chemex filter with hot water. This is to remove any paper taste from the filter. Discard the rinse water afterwards.
- Next, add your coffee to the filter. Make sure it's spread evenly for a uniform extraction.
- Slowly pour just enough water (about 150ml) over the grounds to wet them evenly. This is called the 'bloom' stage, where the coffee releases carbon dioxide. Wait for about 30 seconds.
- Gradually add the rest of the water in a circular motion, keeping the water level consistent. This ensures all the coffee grounds are saturated and extracted evenly.
- Once all the water has filtered through, remove the filter. Your coffee is now ready to serve. Enjoy it immediately for the best taste.
Notes
Remember, the key to a great Chemex brew is the coffee to water ratio and the grind size. Too fine a grind can result in over-extraction and a bitter taste, while too coarse a grind can lead to under-extraction and a weak, watery taste.

To make the perfect Chemex brew, you will need 50g of your favorite coffee beans, medium-coarse grind, and 700ml of filtered water, just off the boil. The key to a great Chemex brew lies in the coffee to water ratio and the grind size. Remember, too fine a grind can result in over-extraction and a bitter taste, while too coarse a grind can lead to under-extraction and a weak, watery taste.
Now, let's dive into the brewing process. Rinse your Chemex filter with hot water and discard the rinse water. This step helps remove any paper taste from the filter. Next, add your coffee to the filter, ensuring an even spread. This will ensure that the water flows through the coffee grounds evenly.
Slowly pour just enough water over the grounds to wet them evenly, about 150ml. This step is called the bloom and allows the coffee to release its flavors and aromas. Wait for about 30 seconds to let the coffee bloom.
After the bloom, gradually add the rest of the water in a circular motion, keeping the water level consistent. This ensures that all the coffee grounds are fully saturated and extracted. Once the water has filtered through, remove the filter and serve your delicious Chemex brew immediately.
Remember, the Chemex brew is all about finding the right balance between the coffee to water ratio and the grind size. Experiment with different ratios and grind sizes to find your perfect cup of coffee.
