Chemex coffee brewing instructions.

You ll find lots of posts online about chemex brewing that talk about measuring your coffee into proper gram weights using a scale and pouring the water slowly with a timer to ensure an exact volume of water over the ground coffee in 4 minutes to extract the perfect cup of coffee. This tutorial walks you through how to brew coffee in a chemex of any size. The resulting cup of coffee is clean and bright and easily adapted to brewing for a solo cup or brunch with friends. In other words for every 1 gram of coffee add 15 grams of water which converts to about 3 tablespoon of coffee for every 1 cup of water.

Unfold the chemex filter and insert in the top of the brewer making sure the 3 layered side of the filter is lined up with the pouring spout. Step 3 pour hot water around the inside of the filter for about 5 seconds. There are even some apps. Experiment from there to find the perfect ratio for you.

As a starting point we recommend using 50 grams of coffee and 700 grams of water about 25 ounces and then adjust according to your taste. We recommend starting with a 1 15 coffee to water ratio when brewing with the chemex.
