Ingredients

Digital Gram Scale
Timer
1
Prep
Unfold the filter and place into the Chemex pot, with the thicker, multi-layered side of the filter against the spout. Rinse the filter with hot water. Leaving the filter in place, discard the water.
2
Grind
Weigh out 40 grams (about 5 level tablespoons) of whole beans. Grind the beans to a medium-coarse consistency.
3
Settle
Pour the ground coffee into the filter, giving a gentle shake to settle the grounds. Place the Chemex pot on your scale and tare to ‘0 grams.’
4
Pour
Allow your water to reach a boil, and then wait 45-60 seconds. Start your timer and pour 60 grams of brewing water into the center of the bed of grounds. Let stand for 45 seconds, allowing the coffee to absorb the water.
5
Brew
Begin pouring a steady, even stream of hot water over the grounds in a circular motion. Continue slowly pouring until your scale displays ‘630 grams.’ Avoid pouring water directly onto the filter. When all water has dripped through the filter, the volume of coffee should be level with the raised glass button on the side of the Chemex pot.
