Chemex 10 Cup

Slow Pulse

Chemex 10 Cup Chemex by Chemex

Chemex's method provides the basis for this 10-cup slow-pulse version, which follows the bloom with 5 count measured additions and partial drainage. The format promotes even saturation and a clear, composed large batch.

Notes

After the bloom, add about 170g with each pulse and let the slurry fall between pours without exposing the bed completely. Use a coarse, uniform grind; if later pulses drain much more slowly, reduce agitation and avoid touching the paper with the stream.
