HOW TO BREW WITH CHEMEX
The Chemex, a coffee-maker named after its manufacturer is perhaps the simplest of all when it comes to its award winning design that makes it easy to use and clean. The hourglass shaped flask makes for a very consistent cup of coffee every time, with its thick filters used to create articulate flavours.

GETTING STARTED
STEP 1 - WEIGHT
Weigh you coffee in grams. We recommend 25 to 30 gms per serving.
STEP 2 - GRIND
For Chemex, you would want to grind it fine to medium coarse. A little coarser than table salt.
STEP 3 - BOIL
Boil water to about 96 degrees C, just before it starts boiling.
STEP 4 - RINSE
Put the filter paper and pour some hot water in the Chemex. This will wet the filter and remove any pre-existing tastes while it will also preheat the Chemex. Discard the water from the vessel.
STEP 5 - ADD
Add your measured coffee powder to the filter paper placed on Chemex
STEP 6 - POUR
Pour the preheated water into the Chemex.
STEP 7 - ENJOY
The new brew should take about 3 minutes from bloom to finish. Once the water is completely soaked, pull out the filter paper and take the flavours of your coffee in. Enjoy.
