Chemex 6 Cup Chemex by Chemex

Chemex's brewing guidance anchors this classic approach, using the brewer's bonded paper to hold back oils and fine sediment. The goal is a bright, transparent cup with crisp flavor separation and a light body.

Notes

Seat the filter with its thicker folded side over the spout, then rinse it generously and discard the rinse water. If drawdown stalls, coarsen the grind before reducing agitation; the dense paper already supplies substantial resistance.
