Equipment

  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Chemex

Ingredients

  • 34 grams coffee beans light or medium roast
  • 520 grams filtered water

Instructions

  • Heat a pot of filtered water to 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Weigh out 34 grams of coffee on a food scale, then grind it to a medium coarse grind (about the size of kosher or sea salt).
  • Place the filter in your Chemex once the water has been heated (see the video below for exact instructions). Pour in just enough water to wet the filter, then drain it into the sink. Shake the Chemex to evenly distribute the ground coffee.
  • Tare the Chemex on the food scale so that the scale reads 0. In a circular motion, slowly pour in 70 grams of water. Then pause for 1 minute to allow the coffee to bloom (you may need to tap your scale once to ensure it does not time out!).
  • Then, in two batches, slowly add the remaining 520 grams water, pouring very slowly in concentric circles directly onto the coffee and not touching the coffee filter. Fill to about 1/2 inch from the top, wait for the water level to drop slightly, and then fill to 520 grams.
  • After a few minutes, the water will have filtered through the coffee grounds and into the pot below. Remove and discard the filter. Enjoy!
