Chemex
The Chemex is a pour-over brewing method that uses a beautifully designed glass brewer and a specially engineered thick paper filter.
Thanks to its thicker filter, Chemex produces an exceptionally clean, light-bodied, and transparent cup. It highlights the coffee's natural sweetness while allowing subtle flavor nuances to shine.
Chemex is equally suited for brewing a single large mug or preparing coffee to share with friends.

The grind should be slightly coarser than for a V60 and resemble coarse sugar.
A grind that's too fine may slow the drawdown and create bitterness, while a grind that's too coarse can result in under-extraction.
Recommended Starting Recipe:
A grind that's too fine may slow the drawdown and create bitterness, while a grind that's too coarse can result in under-extraction.
Recommended Starting Recipe:
- 30 g coffee
- 500 ml water
How to Brew?
- Place the paper filter into the Chemex and rinse it thoroughly with hot water.
- Discard the rinse water from the brewer.
- Add the ground coffee and gently shake the Chemex to level the coffee bed.
- Begin with the bloom:
- Pour 60–70 g of water.
- Wait 30–40 seconds.
- Continue pouring the remaining water slowly in small circular pours until you reach your target brew weight.
- Once all the water has passed through the coffee bed, remove the filter.
-
TipBefore serving, gently swirl the brewed coffee inside the Chemex. This helps mix the different layers of extraction, creating a more balanced and consistent flavor—especially when brewing multiple cups. -
CharacteristicsThe Chemex's thick paper filter removes more coffee oils and fine particles than most other filter brewing methods. The result is an exceptionally clean, delicate, and transparent cup with remarkable clarity.

Characteristics
-
- We recommend using freshly ground coffee whenever possible. Ground coffee gradually loses aromatic compounds that contribute to flavor and aroma.
-
- The thick Chemex filter captures more oils and fine particles, producing an especially clean and refined cup.
-
- Always rinse the filter thoroughly with hot water before brewing. This removes any paper taste while preheating the brewer.
- For a lighter, cleaner cup
- Use a slightly coarser grind.
- After the bloom, brew using two main pours.
For example, with 500 ml of water:- 70 ml — Bloom
- Pour to 300 ml
- Pour to 500 ml
This approach emphasizes clarity, elegance, and brightness. - For a sweeter, fuller-bodied cup
- Use a slightly finer grind.
- After the bloom, brew using three main pours.
For example, with 500 ml of water:- 70 ml — Bloom
- Pour to 220–250 ml
- Pour to 380–400 ml
- Pour to 500 ml
The additional pour promotes a more even extraction, often resulting in greater sweetness, balance, and body.
Experiment with Grind Size
-
- If the coffee tastes too sour or watery, try using a slightly finer grind.
-
- If the coffee tastes too bitter or heavy, try using a slightly coarser grind.
- Even a small adjustment to grind size can noticeably change the flavor of your coffee.
