Nordic Light Extraction

Chemex 8 Cup Chemex by Chemex

This Chemex-attributed 8-cup recipe comes through Tim and Sebastian's brew guidance, applying assertive extraction to very light Nordic-style roasts. It seeks transparent origin flavor, pronounced sweetness, and bright, structured acidity.

Notes

Pair a very light roast with 97°C and a finer grind than a conventional large Chemex batch. Expect a slower drawdown; judge the setting by sweetness and finish rather than time alone, coarsening only when astringency appears.
