Chemex Classic Technique

The Chemex combines the precision of pour over brewing with the elegance of laboratory glassware. Its thick paper filters remove oils and fine particles more effectively than other methods, producing an exceptionally clean, tea-like coffee that highlights bright, acidic notes.

Chemex brewing is all about patience and technique. The slower extraction process and unique filter design create a distinctive flavor profile that's crisp, clear, and complex. This method is perfect for showcasing high-quality, single-origin coffees with nuanced flavors.

Step 1: Prepare Filter

Unfold Chemex filter and place with triple-fold facing the spout. Rinse with hot water and discard.

Step 2: Add Coffee and Bloom

Add coffee, create small well. Pour 80g water in spiral, bloom for 45 seconds.

Step 3: Continue Brewing

Pour remaining water in slow spirals, maintaining steady water level. Total time: 4-5 minutes.
