Chemex 6 Cup Chemex by Chemex

Chemex's brew guide informs this 6-cup treatment for dense, light-roasted beans, pairing hotter water with a more extraction-focused setup. It seeks lively sweetness and articulate acidity in a tea-like, low-sediment cup.

Notes

Use 97°C water and a slightly finer grind than for medium roast. Fully saturate the bloom and keep all 3 count pours controlled; if sweetness is weak but drawdown is healthy, grind finer, while a dry finish or stalled bed calls for a coarser setting.
