Chemex Guide

Step 1

Measure

Grind your favorite Gento coffee coarse (like Kosher salt).

You will need 42g or about 6 tablespoons of coffee coarse grind.

Begin boiling your water, you will need a little over 700 ml.

Step 2

Prep

Place the filter in the Chemex, with folds facing towards the front spout, and pre-moisten your coffee filter with hot water then pour out the water from the Chemex spout.

Step 3

Brew

Add grounds to the Chemex and saturate the coffee just enough with your water fresh off the boil (205°F), pouring very evenly.

After the initial bloom—around 30 seconds of allowing the grounds to rise, bubble, and begin to crust over a little—continue to add water slowly in the center of the Chemex making sure to cover all the grounds.

Attempt to separate pours over a period of 3:30 minutes until you reach 700 ml of water.
