Essentials – Why need to make coffee with Chemex
It’s simple. Items essential are coffee maker Chemex and specialty coffee, fresh fried :).
You also need grinder , kettle, scales , paper filter and timer. Because ground coffee loses loses aroma In just 30 seconds, it’s essential that grains to be fresh grind every time you make a coffee.
STEP 1
For this recipe we used an infusion ratio of 1:14, ie 280g of water (plus an additional amount for rinsing the filter before preparation) and 20 g of coffee. The preparation time is 2:30 min.
Prepare the water, heated to about 93 degrees in the kettle. Weigh and grind the 20g of coffee on average.
Tip: enjoy the aroma of freshly ground berries!
Place the filter in the Chemex so that the triple portion of the paper faces the nozzle. Pour a little hot water to rinse the filter. This heats the glass and removes any taste of filter paper. This water is being thrown away!
Place the Chemex on the scale and set it to zero.
STEP 2
Place the ground coffee in the filter and then pour 40 ml of water lightly, in circular motions, starting from the center to the outside until all the coffee is moistened. This is the pre-infusion stage, called blooming, which allows the coffee to remove some of the gas.
Wait about 30 seconds before continuing to pour the rest of the water in circular motions, charging to keep a constant level.
STEP 3
Once the Chemex is full, remove the filter and you can enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Pretty simple, right? Here is the beauty of Chemex – in essence, hot water is poured over the ground coffee.
