Brewing Steps
Step 1
Place the thicker three-layer side of the Chemex filter against the spout. Rinse both the filter and the brewer with hot water to remove any paper taste and preheat the vessel.
Step 2
Add 18 grams of medium-ground coffee to the filter.
Step 3
Pour 50 ml of hot water in gentle circular motions and allow the coffee to bloom for 30 seconds, releasing its fresh aromas.
Step 4
Slowly pour the remaining 200 ml of hot water over the coffee using steady circular motions.
Step 5
Your coffee should be ready within approximately 3–5 minutes. Remove the filter, gently stir the coffee and serve.
Step 6
Tip: Transferring the brewed coffee into a second carafe introduces a little aeration, helping the flavours and aromas present themselves in a smoother and more balanced way.
