Chemex coffee brewing instructions.

When i first got my chemex i ll be honest. The resulting cup of coffee is clean and bright and easily adapted to brewing for a solo cup or brunch with friends. The amount of coffee and water varies depending on the type of coffee you are brewing and your preferred strength. The common sizes for chemex brewers are 3 6 8 or 10 cups.

There are even some apps. 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. 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.

Weigh out the coffee and grind to a coarseness resembling sea salt. 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.
