Chemex

How to use Chemex:

1. Place a "Chemex-Bonded" cone filter into the top of the Chemex
2. Pre-wet the filter with boiling water (to decrease the paper-flavor from being made of thicker paper)
3. Grind the coffee to a medium grind
4. Pour pre-wetting water out of the Chemex
5. Place grounded coffee into the pre-wet filter (2 tablespoons of coffee per 10 oz of water)
6. "Bloom" the coffee by pouring just enough coffee to wet all the grounds without floating them. This allows them to be evenly extracted
7. Continuously pour the remaining almost-boiling water over the grounds always keeping the water level close to the top
8. Take the used coffee grounds and filter out of the Chemex
9. Pour using the wooden collar
10. Enjoy!
