Chemex
Chemex is a pour- over coffee brewing method that was invented by a chemist named Peter Schlumbohm in 1941. It consists of a glass flask with a conical shape and a wooden collar tied with a lether cord. The Chemex method uses a specially designed filter that is thicker than normal, resulting in a clean and smooth cup of coffee. The CHEMEX Coffeemaker delivers only the elements essential to rich coffee flavor, so that your personal taste and approach shine through.

What You Need?
Steps
1) Open a CHEMEX Bonded Filter into a cone shape so that one side of the cone has three layers, and place it into the top of the CHEMEX brewer. The thick three- layer portion should cover the pouring spout.
2) Put the grounded coffee into the filter cone. Feel free to use more if you prefer it stronger, Our CHEMEX brewing process eliminates bitterness.
3) Boil the water and remove it from the heat. Pour a small amount of water in a cicular motion over the coffee grounds to wet them. Wait for 30 seconds for them to bloom.
4) After the grounds bloom, slowly pour the little water over the grounds while keeping the water level below the top of the CHEMEX Coffeemaker.
5) Slowly pour the remaining water over the grounds, using a circular motion.
6) Once a desired amount of coffee is brewed, lift the filter with spent grounds out of the brewer and discard and enjoy the perfect cup.
