Shavi Brew Guide: Chemex

This classic Chemex brew is simple and elegant. For us, making coffee should feel like a small daily ceremony, and with the Chemex it truly does. Here's a quick guide to get the most from your brew.

You'll need

• Chemex
• Chemex filter
• Grinder
• Kettle

You'll use

• 30 g coffee, coarse grind (like sugar)
• 500 ml hot water, around 94°C

How to brew

1. Rinse. Rinse your filter with hot water and pour the water away.
2. Add coffee. Add the ground coffee and give it a little shake to level.
3. Bloom. Pour in 60 g of water and let it bloom for 30 seconds.
4. Brew. Slowly pour the rest of the water in gentle circles.
5. Wait. Let it finish dripping: about 4 minutes.
6. Enjoy. A clean, balanced cup, just how we like it.

Tips

• Too slow? Grind coarser.
• Too quick? Grind finer.
