Brew Recipe

This coffee offers a delicious cup in almost any brew method, but we love brewing in a chemex where the bold flavors are balanced with a natural sweetness.

RATIO : 1:15
BREWER : Chemex
GRIND : Medium-coarse
WATER TEMP : 205 F

1: Grind the coffee once the water is heated up. Pre-wet the Chemex filter in the brewer, pouring out any access water. Set up your brew station on a scale.

2. Wet the grounds to let them bloom with about 50g of water. This allows the initial release of CO2. Bloom for about 30 seconds.

3. Pouring in a spiral motion starting in the middle of the grounds, pour about 2/3rd total water.

4. After the coffee has filtered through about 1/2 inch (exposing the grounds to air) complete the second pour, again using a spiral motion in and out. Complete all the desired water.
