Chemex 6 Cup Chemex by Chemex

Based on Chemex brewing guidance, this Japanese-style iced preparation sends hot coffee directly onto ice in the carafe. Rapid chilling protects volatile aromas and produces a vivid, clean cold cup rather than a muted chilled brew.

Notes

Load the carafe with 200g before setting the rinsed filter in place, and account for that ice as dilution rather than extra yield. Use a somewhat finer grind than for the hot version, then swirl the finished brew until the remaining ice and concentrate are uniform.
