Chemex
One of the methods most used by baristas to prepare more soluble coffees, with the least amount of solid waste, in addition to clearer flavors and aromas, is through coffee maker Chemex;which consists of a glass device with a wooden washer in the middle, with a conical upper part that allows holding the filter paper to store the ground coffee and pour the hot water later.
What You Need
- Chemex container
- Chemex filter
- Grinder
- 42g (6 teaspoons) of coffee
- Boiling Water (approximately 205 ° F)
- Scale
- Timer
- stirring rod
- Mug
1 Prepare and preheat
Measure and grind 17g of coffee - one rounded AeroPress scoop or approximately 2 ½ tbsp. Grind coffee as fine as table salt.
2 Weigh and grind coffee
Prepare the AeroPress for priming by placing the filter in the basket. Next, preheat the coffee maker and rinse the filter with hot water. This removes any paper flavor and heats everything up. Heat your mug with hot water while you're at it.
3 Saturate Background
Discard the rinse water from your cup. Place the basket at the bottom of the brew chamber and place it on top of the mug. If helpful, use the funnel (or coffee loader) that comes with the AeroPress to add 17g of coffee. Then remove the funnel.
4 Add more water
Turn on your timer when you pour hot water (just after boiling or around 205°F) into your coffee maker. Saturate all grains within 10 seconds. Pour into No. 4 or 220 g of water if you are using a scale. Rotate the chamber, making sure all the coffee is saturated.
5 Fill to the Top
Once you get to No. 4, stir the "slurry" (coffee and water mix) and place the plunger into the brew chamber and pull up slightly to create a pressure seal. Don't dive in yet!
