You’ll need a Chemex coffee maker and coffee filters, a burr grinder, a gooseneck kettle and digital food scale. First, heat water to 200 degrees, and then weigh out your coffee. Grind around 34 grams of coffee to make 2 cups. Next, add the filter and coffee to Chemex and pour enough water to wet the grounds. Let this sit for a minute before adding around 2 cups of water (you’ll need to adjust the water to coffee ratio if making more than two cups). Make sure to add the water slowly for the perfect cup o’ joe! Sip and enjoy.
