CHEMEX
Looking for the right dripper?
Overwhelmed and cannot decide which one to buy?
Choose Chemex!
Why Chemex?
We recommend the Chemex pour-over because it extracts a bright, clean, and smooth cup due to the paper filter being 20-30% heavier than other filters. This allows the paper filter to retain more of the oils and solids during the brewing process. The Chemex dripper can accommodate two to three 10 ounce
cups depending on how much you want to serve yourself and others. Overall, the Chemex pour-over is user-friendly, easy-to-clean and always brews a fantastic cup no matter the coffee used. Keep in mind that this recipe is intended to brew more than one cup using the Chemex 30 ounce. If you are trying this recipe and think this will be too much coffee for yourself, share it with a friend, coworker, or neighbor! We found that this recipe works great with our coffee, and how we like to brew using our Chemex at headquarters.
Our recommended ratio is 14.5:1; 700 ml of water to 48 grams of coffee.
