Chemex
With its timeless design invented in 1941, the Chemex is simple and looks very elegant on a kitchen counter. Its thicker filter produces a clear and complex cup where it is possible to distinguish the most delicate flavours of a coffee.

The extraction time is controlled by the grind setting. If it exceeds 4 min., 45 sec., grind your coffee more coarsely. On the other hand, if it is too short, your grind setting needs to be finer.
You can make a smaller or larger quantity. Just make sure you keep the ratio of 1g of coffee to 16g of water. Keep a limited amount of water in the brewer at all times by dividing your total amount of water into 3 or 4 increments.
When pouring the water, keep a low flow and avoid touching the edges of the brewer too much.
