Chemex Pot

Chemex Pour Over

Here are the step by steps for the single Chemex:

  • First measure out 12 ounces of cold water and put on heat
  • First weigh out 29g of beans or 3.5 scoops
  • Take your Chemex bonded filter and count out 3 corners and open to fit into the top of the Chemex
  • the layer of three should face the pour spout
  • next rinse the filter with fairly hot water from the tap
  • discard the rinse water by pouring slowly into sing through the pour spout
  • Grind your beans on a setting only one notch courser that the Bee house dripper
  • Once your 12 ounces of water has begun to boil take it off the heat and allow to stand for 20 seconds
  • with the ground coffee in the rinsed filter begin pouring only 3 ounce of hot water over the dry grounds
  • let stand for 30 seconds
  • Now begin in the middle slowly pouring concentric circles of hot water coming only one inch from the filters edge and then back into the center
  • the last bit of water you pour should be poured steadily into the center of the grounds until gone
  • Your grounds should form a "cone" shape once all the water has dripped through
  • Simply discard the filter and grounds, pour, and enjoy!

To double the recipe use with 54g coffee and 24 ounces of water

 

Bee House Dripper

Bee House Dripper

You will need a 12 ounce ceramic cup or a 12 ounce carafe for serving, a hot water kettle with a small opening to control the water flow, #2 white cone coffee filters "melitta style", a gram scale, a bag of you favorite Kubal coffee, a burr grinder, and a small dose of patience.

  • Start 12 ounces of water on the heat
  • Fold filter edges, open and place in the ceramic Bee House dripper
  • Weigh out 27g of beans (this is approx. 3 heaping scoops of beans but weighing gives the best tasting results)
  • Grind the beans on a setting that gives you a texture slightly finer than sand
  • run some fairly hot water from the tap through the filter to wash out the paper taste
  • place ground coffee in the now damp filter and tap on counter twice to level
  • set ceramic dripper on top of your chosen mug
  • Wait 20 seconds after the 12 oz water has boiled and begin pouring a couple ounces over the grounds and stop
  • let the grounds stand for 30 seconds then begin pouring a thin stream of water starting from the center and moving out
  • Create a spiral patern as your pour but never touch the edge of the filter, keep your pour somewhat centered.
  • After all the water is poured wait until the final drips and simply discard, clean he dripper, and enjoy your Cafe Kubal coffee!
  • Begin by pouring
