Chemex CHEM6WOOD 6-Cup Wood Neck Coffee Maker - Clear

Product Information

However, that’s not the case with storage capacity. Although Chemex advertises each coffee brewer by the number of cups of coffee it can produce, you’re not getting that exact number of cups from the coffeemaker at once. Put one rounded tablespoon of ground coffee for every 150 ml. cup into the filter cone. Feel free to use more if you prefer it stronger; the CHEMEX Coffeemaker brewing process eliminates bitterness and acidity. The bloom helps release any trapped gases (CO2) in the coffee grounds from the coffee roaster and the roasting process. It also allows them to fully expand for optimal extraction during brewing. Coffee beans or ground coffee (8 grams of grounds for 5 oz of coffee) – Fresh coffee is essential. Single-origin beans from a local coffee roaster are my personal preference, but you don’t need any specialty coffee. Start by folding your Chemex filter. Depending on whether you have the half-moon, square, or triangle filters the process will be slightly different.

The ideal water temperature for brewing Chemex coffee is between 195°F and 205°F. This can be achieved using an electric kettle or a stovetop kettle. It’s the same story with the 6-cup Chemex, by the way. That model can produce 887 milliliters of coffee at a time. By converting that to fluid ounces, you get 29.99 fluid ounces. We’ll round that up to 30 fluid ounces.

Whether you want a 3-cup or a 6-cup Chemex depends on how much coffee you drink. The 3-cup version can hold approximately 1 pint or 473 milliliters while the 6-cup version brews 30 ounces or 887 milliliters of coffee. Assuming you’re not interested in a handblown Chemex, the price difference between 3 cups and 6 cups isn’t huge. Storage CapacityIf this is going to be your first Chemex coffeemaker, it doesn’t hurt to get acquainted with the product. After all, Chemex is not your average coffee brewer! What about larger size: 10-cup Chemex coffeemaker? It’s got the greatest capacity yet at 1,489 milliliters, which is 50.35 fluid ounces. Let’s round that down to 50 fluid ounces. Dividing that by 8–the standard number of fluid ounces per cup of coffee–gives us 6.25. The ideal brewing temperature for Medium Roast Coffee is about 30 seconds off boil or between 194 - 203 degrees Fahrenheit. The moderate brewing temperature helps keep the medium-roasted coffee balanced and rich.

Bloom coffee — To bloom the coffee, pour hot water over the grounds until they are covered and let sit for 30-45 seconds.The ideal brewing temperature for Light Roast Coffee is right off boil or between 203 – 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The higher temperatures help prevent sourness, and high acidity is lighter roasted coffees. Add coffee grounds — Now it’s time to add your coffee grounds. Slowly pour them into the filter, being careful not to overfill. Shake the Chemex slightly to achieve a level coffee bed.
