• 950 g water

1. 1

   Prep the filter

   Place the filter in the Chemex.

2. 2

   Rinse + warm

   Wet the filter with hot water. Swirl to warm the glass, then discard the water.

3. 3

   Add coffee

   Set the Chemex on a scale and tare. Add 50 g coffee, then tare again.

4. 4

   Bloom – 30 sec

   Start the timer as you pour 130 g water. Wet all the grounds; swirl if needed.

5. 5

   Pour to 950 g

   After 30 sec, pour low in slow circles, center to edge. Fill near the rim, let it drain halfway, then repeat. Keep water above the grounds. Stop at 950 g.

6. 6

   Finish

   Swirl the Chemex. Near the end of the drawdown, gently ‘burp’ the filter with a spoon. Remove the filter and serve.
