Nordic Light 3-Cup

Chemex 3 Cup Chemex by Chemex

Nordic-style high extraction on the single-serve 3-cup Chemex. A finer grind and hotter water than usual coax bright, sweet, juicy clarity from light roasts, turning the small carafe into a showcase for one cup.

Notes

Grind finer than you would on a larger Chemex and keep the water hot — that is what lifts extraction for Nordic light roasts. Expect a longer, slower drawdown from the fine grind; it is normal here. Pre-warm the carafe and drink it fresh, as the small 3-cup loses heat quickly.
