Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Heat water  Bring 500ml of filtered water to about 98°C (just below boiling). While waiting, set up your Chemex and place a filter inside, ensuring the thicker, triple-folded side is against the spout. 2. Rinse the filter Pour some hot water through the filter to rinse out any papery taste. This also preheats your Chemex. Discard the water from the carafe before moving to the next step. 3. Weigh and grind your coffee Measure out 30 grams of coffee beans and grind them to a medium-coarse grind (resembling sea salt).  4. Add coffee grounds to the chemex Place the ground coffee in the filter and give the Chemex a gentle shake to flatten the coffee bed. 5. Bloom the coffee (30-50 seconds) Start your timer and pour 60-70ml of water over the grounds in a spiral motion, ensuring all coffee is saturated. Let it bloom for 30-50 seconds. This allows the gases to escape, setting the stage for proper extraction. 6. Pour in the remaining water (3:30–4:30 minutes) After blooming, continue pouring water in slow, controlled spirals, starting from the center and working your way outward, avoiding the filter's sides. Pour in intervals, adding about 100-150ml of water at a time, allowing it to drip between pours. Aim to finish pouring all 500ml of water between 3:00 and 3:30 minutes. 7. Wait and enjoy Once all the water has passed through the grounds (total time should be around 4-5 minutes), remove the filter and discard the grounds. Give your coffee a gentle swirl to mix the flavors and serve immediately.
