Creating a pure cup of coffee isn't rock science... but it is science! When Peter J. Schlumbohm, Ph.D. invented the Chemex in 1941 he used the chemistry principals of extraction and filtration to perfect a design, though simplistic in aesthetic appearance, perfectly extracts a full-bodied brew. It's hourglass shaped flask is made entirely of heatproof borosilicate glass, a chemically inert material that does not absorb odors or chemical residues. The Chemex is simple to use, easy to clean and an elegant addition to any kitchen. Great for Loose Leaf Tea as well.
Instructions
1. Open the Chemex-Bonded Coffee Filter into a cone. One side should have three layers. Place the cone in the top of your coffeemaker with the thick portion toward the pouring spout.
2. Using Regular or Automatic Grind coffee only, put one rounded tablespoon of coffee per 5 oz. cup into the filter cone. If you prefer stronger coffee, use more; there is never any bitterness in coffee brewed using the Chemex method.
3. When the water is boiling, remove it from the heat until it stops boiling vigorously. It should now be at about 200ºF, a perfect brewing temperature. Pour a small amount of water over the coffee grounds, just enough to wet them without floating. This is important because it allows the grounds to "bloom," so the desirable coffee elements can be released.
4. After this first wetting simply pour more water, soaking the grounds each time, but keeping the water level well below the top of the coffeemaker. Once the desired amount of coffee is brewed, dispose of the spent grounds by lifting the filter out of the coffeemaker. And that's it! You are now ready to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee!
