- Syzygy Specialty Coffee

- Chemex Brewer + Filters

- Scale

- Gooseneck Water Kettle with Thermometer

- Ratio of 15:1

* A 15:1 ratio means you'll need 15 times more mili-Liters (mL) of water than you have grams (gr) of coffee. For this brew, we started with 15gr of coffee, so we multiply 15gr (times) 15mL, and come to 225mL of water.

Grind your coffee similarly to the consistency of coarse salt. 
If this is your first time, we recommend you start with 15 grams of Coffee. 

With 15 grams of coffee, we'll need 225mL* of water to be heated to 89°C (192°F).
Heat extra water for later use.

Pour the extra water into the Chemex with the filter on. This will preheat it, and remove papery taste from the filter. Take this time to preheat your coffee mugs. Discard the water.

Place your Chemex on the scale and add your 15 grams of coffee. Slightly shake the Chemex to level the grounds. Set the scale to 0mL.

Pour 2x as much water as you have coffee - in this case, 30mL. This will expand the fresh coffee grounds in a process called blooming. 
Wait 45 seconds.

Pour 65mL in a spiraling motion. Start from the center and make your way outwards. Wait 45 seconds and repeat 2 more times until the scale shows 225mL. 

30mL + 65mL + 65mL + 65mL = 225mL

After the 4th and final pour, wait about 1 minute and the coffee will have brewed. It starts as a stream and slowly become a drip-by-drip brew.

Remove and discard the filter from the top of the Chemex, and pour your silky, clean cup of coffee into your warm mug.

Enjoy!
