Place the triple fold on the bonded filter where the pour spout is,

ensuring that the filter doesn’t collapse.

Hold the filter down and add water to preheat the vessel and to wash away

the paper taste. Because of the thickness of the filter, preheat with more

water than usual. Pour out the water.

Add 50g of freshly ground coffee. This will end up to be 640g out, with a

1:16 water ratio. The recommended grind size is:

This is a bigger brew because the Chemex is a bigger vessel.

Spread out the coffee to help it to saturate as evenly and quickly as possible.

Add water, weighing out to 100 to 110 grams – double amount of coffee.

Allow 45-60 seconds for degassing. Stir liberally.

Pour to 320g, which is half the volume of the total brew. This is the biggest pour,
