BREW TIME

4-5 minutes

STEP 1

Bring water to a boil in your kettle, about 900 g.

STEP 2

Weigh out 50 g of coffee on your scale.

STEP 3

Grind coffee with a coarseness resembling sea salt.

STEP 4

Place the filter with three sides on the side of the pour spout.

STEP 5

Once the water begins to boil, or reaches 205 degrees, pour hot water through the filter to fully saturate it and pre-heat the Chemex. After the water has drained through the filter, empty the Chemex.

STEP 6

Pour the ground coffee into the filter and gently shake the dripper to even the grounds.

STEP 7

Starting in the center, gently pour about 100 g of water to fully saturate the grounds. Work your way outward and avoid pouring directly on the sides of the pour spout. This first pour of water causes the coffee to "bloom" and release its initial gasses. Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30-60 seconds, depending on the freshness of the coffee.

STEP 8

Continue pouring into the center of the coffee grounds, in a circular motion. Pour slowly, ensuring all the grounds are evenly saturated. The whole brew process should take between four to five minutes. Continue pouring until you reach 800 g of water. Discard your filter.

ENJOY.
