Serves 4 cups

60g of coarsely ground coffee
1 litre of filtered water straight off the boil
Approximate brew time for all water to pass through is 7 minutes

METHOD:

Insert paper filter into the Chemex with the thickest fold over the spout.

Thoroughly wet the filter with hot water and carefully discard the water from the bottom of the Chemex.

Add the coffee into the bottom of the filter.

Gently pour 50-100ml of boiling water onto the coffee, aiming to wet all of the grounds. Leave to ‘bloom’ for 30-40 seconds.

Continue to pour a gentle stream with the remainder of the water, depending on the batch size until all the water has passed through the coffee.

Remove the filter before serving.
