Slow coffee preparation method

To prepare coffee using the gentle method with the Chemex 3-cup coffee maker, we recommend a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:10. aThus, to prepare 3 cups of coffee with the Chemex, you will need 25g of ground coffee beans for 250ml of water. Here is the method to follow to prepare a Chemex filter coffee maker:

Place the filter in the Chemex coffee maker.

Pre-wet the filter with hot water to remove unwanted flavors and discard the water.

Add the organic coffee beans, previously ground, to the filter.

Pour the hot water (92-94°C) in three stages, starting with a "bloom" which wets the coffee then let it steep for 15 to 20 seconds.

Then pour water in a spiral, from the center to the edge of the filter.

Then a 3rd pour from the edge towards the center.

Remove the filter from your Chemex coffee maker and enjoy your coffee.

Which grind to use?

To prepare filter coffee using the gentle method, we recommend that you grind your coffee beans just before use, in order to keep the freshness of your specialty coffee.

The ideal grind for a Chemex 3-cup drip coffee maker is a medium to coarse grind. It should be coarser than that used for espresso, but finer than that used for light brewing methods like cold brew. A grind that is too fine can clog the paper filter of the Chemex 3-Cup Drip Coffee Maker, while a grind that is too coarse can result in weak-flavored coffee. So choose a grind that is between these two extremes, in order to obtain balanced and optimal extraction of your coffee in the Chemex.
