The beauty of Chemex is definitely the delicacy of the resulting infusion.
To perceive each of the subtle notes in your Balade coffee, the Chemex is a great brewing method. It's the perfect way to take time to relax and enjoy the present moment, alone or with friends.
How to brew your Balade coffee
with a chemex :
- Bring 600ml of water to a boil
- Place a paper or metal filter (reusable) on your Chemex. If you're using a paper filter, be sure to rinse it out with a bit of water before putting it in the Chemex.
- Measure 40 grams of Balade coffee (about 5 tablespoons) and place it in the filter.
- Pre-infusion of coffee: add enough water to cover the coffee, no more (about twice its weight, or 80 grams).
- Start the timer as soon as you add the 80 grams of water.
- Slowly pour hot water in circular motions to cover the entire surface of the coffee. Make sure that no crust forms and that the color of the coffee is uniform.
- Continue this process for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Then pour the rest of the water over the coffee.
- Let gravity do its thing (and take a video or two to share in your stories, it's such a calming sight to watch)! ☺️
- Enjoy your Balade coffee with all the joy in the world! 🌻
