Chemex

The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm and is an elegant, one-piece, hourglass shaped vessel made of high quality, heat resistant glass that has truly stood the test of time. The Chemex® coffeemaker makes coffee that is clear, pure, flavourful and without bitterness or sediment.

The coffee only comes in contact with the scientifically designed filter and non-porous glass. For those who like to brew coffee Chemex remains “the” coffeemaker to purchase.

Make the perfect brew

01

Pour hot water generously around the paper filter, eliminating any paper taste and pre-heating the Chemex, then throw the water out - you only want brewed coffee in your final drink.

Pre heat and prep
02

Bring enough water to just below a boil (~200° F / ~93° C ) in order to brew the coffee and pre-heat the Chemex and weight out 32 grams of coffee and grind it medium.

Water and weight
03

Pour just enough water to saturate the grounds evenly and start your timer! Stir with a spoon to get rid of any dry clumps.

Saturate
04

After 30-45 seconds, pour the remaining water continuously and evenly onto the grounds and in a circular fashion, moving inward and outward within the circle to push the grounds toward the walls. The coffee level should rise just above the grounds.

Add more water
05

By 4 mins, you should be able to see consistent walls of grounds with an even bed toward the bottom of the filter. Lift and remove the filter out completely.

Watch and wait
06

Swirl, pour, enjoy.
