The Chemex coffee maker

When coffee is made using the conically shaped Chemex coffee maker, it flows through a special Chemex filter, which is firmer than conventional paper filters and folded in three layers towards the spout of the pot. The contact time of the coffee and the water is quite a bit longer, so that the flavours are extracted evenly. The result is a distinctive, rather full-bodied taste. For the Chemex you should use a medium-fine ground, light roasted coffee blend. After the so-called “blooming”, which means that the coffee powder is moistened with water of about 90°C and left to swell for 30 seconds, the actual brewing process starts. In circular movements the hot water is slowly poured while maintaining a constant water level. An extraction time of up to 8 minutes makes this type of brewing a ceremony for the special coffee gourmet.
