Chemex CHEM6WOOD 6-Cup Wood Neck Coffee Maker - Clear

Product Information

The golden ratio is the ideal coffee to water ratio. No under or over extraction, a perfectly balanced cup. The Specialty Coffee Association of America (the SCAA) has published a golden ratio of 55 grams (plus or minus 10% depending on the type of coffee and the roast) of coffee per liter of water.

Since hand-blowing a coffeemaker is no easy feat, these coffee brewers are produced in smaller numbers than those in the other series. The Handblown Series Chemex coffeemakers also feature a polished wooden collar. Which Chemex Sizes Are Available? Brewing coffee with a Chemex is simple, but there are a few key steps you’ll want to follow for the best results. After the grounds bloom, slowly pour the water over the grounds while keeping the water level well below the top of the CHEMEX Coffeemaker (a quarter inch or more).

If you’ve used the tare function before beginning the pour, then you should just pour until you hit 960 grams. Step #9: Pour and Drink Coffee grinder– Ideally, a good burr grinder is best. Either way, you need to achieve a medium-coarse grind size (think sea salt consistency.

Coffee beans or ground coffee (8 grams of grounds for 5 oz of coffee) – Fresh coffee is essential. Single-origin beans from a local coffee roaster are my personal preference, but you don’t need any specialty coffee. Add coffee grounds — Now it’s time to add your coffee grounds. Slowly pour them into the filter, being careful not to overfill. Shake the Chemex slightly to achieve a level coffee bed.

The recommended temperature range for brewing hot coffee, regardless of the method, is between 197-205 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a kettle with a thermometer is the best way to achieve this temperature range, but alternatively, you can boil water and let it sit for 30 seconds to 1 minute to cool to the optimal temperature.

Start the second pour — After the bloom, begin your pour in a slow and steady circular motion, starting from the inside and working your way out. Once the water reached the top of the filter, pause and let the coffee filter through before starting the next pour. Cleaning: A carefully cleaned and handled CHEMEX Coffeemaker brewer will give you a lifetime of service. Hand wash with warm soapy water, or place the coffeemaker securely in the dishwasher The brew time is controlled by the filter and the coffee grounds (grind size), which determines how long the coffee will extract before dripping down into the carafe. This means that the main variable you can control here is the temperature. Fold filter — First, fold your Chemex filter in half and then in half again. This will create a cone-like shape. Place the filter in the Chemex, making sure the three layers are facing out.The Glass Handle Series is rather self-explanatory. As we talked about above, rather than use a wooden handle, this entire Chemex coffeemaker is glass. Its handle does not come off, but it–like the rest of the Chemex coffee brewers–is durable borosilicate glass. You can also safely refrigerate the Glass Handle Series Chemex coffee brewers.
