  • In this episode of the Mind Grind Coffee podcast I will be talking about the Chemex coffee brewing method that I recently started using. I picked up a beautiful glass "work of art" 10 cup Chemex coffeemaker at yard sale. I then purchase some Chemex proprietary filters on sale at Williams-Sonoma and had one of the best coffees of my life. The Chemex's most notable feature to me is that it produces a smooth clean drink. The extra thick proprietary bonded filter filters out any bitterness in the coffee by removing many if the oils. The Chemex coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by Peter Schlumbohm. The design is considered one of the best and it's featured in the museum of modern art in New York City. The coffee maker is a pour over, where the the hot water is poured over the grinds situated in the filter at the top of an hourglass shaped, usually glass, Chemex coffeemaker. It is best to use a goose neck pot. Initially pour just enough water to get a nice bloom and then continue to pour over the grinds slowly until you have the correct coffee to water ratio. I use a 1 to 15 ratio. I put a prepped Chemex with filter on my kitchen scale and Tare the scale, bring it to zero. I add the desired amount of medium course fresh ground coffee to the filter and zero out the scale again. When my water is at 205 degrees I pour about 130 grams of water over 20 grams of coffee. 30 seconds after bloom I add the rest of the water, in this case 170 grams. Just before all the water passes through the filter I toss it or save it for my tomatoe garden. I pour and enjoy! A couple of notes: I use a square filter folded with 3 side on the pouring spout. I prep the coffeemaker by running hot water through the empty filter and then pouring it out. This warms the Chemex and allows the filter to stick in place. There are plenty of additional resources on the web, it may sound complicated, but it is very easy, I would say the easiest way to make coffee. In a rush you can get away with not prepping or measuring once you've done it a few times. I hope you enjoyed this and go out and buy a Chemex. I think I will go make a coffe now.
