If you are a coffee lover and you want to try a new brewing method, the <\/span>Chemex method<\/b> is for you. With its elegant aesthetics and innovative design, the <\/span>Chemex<\/b> is not only a true work of art, but also one of the most popular methods among true coffee connoisseurs. With this system, coffee is made in a slower and more delicate way, but the end result is a <\/span>pure, clear <\/b>beverage with a <\/span>rich flavour<\/b>. If you want to learn how to make it at home, keep reading! I will guide you step by step through this brewing technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Chemex method?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Chemex method<\/b> is a coffee brewing system invented in 1941 by German chemist <\/span>Peter Schlumbohm<\/b>. Its invention stands out for the use of a <\/span>thick filter<\/b> that allows you to obtain a <\/span>cleaner<\/b> coffee, free of impurities and with a <\/span>smooth<\/b> but <\/span>intense <\/b>flavour. The Chemex is made of <\/span>borosilicate glass<\/b>, a heat-resistant material, and is easily recognisable by its hourglass shape, with a narrow neck and a wooden handle that makes it easy to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

This particular coffee maker is renowned for its ability to enhance the organoleptic characteristics of coffee, thanks to the quality of its filters and the precision of its preparation. It is not a quick method, but the result is a cup of coffee with a <\/span>clean <\/b>and <\/span>balanced <\/b>taste, ideal for those who appreciate the finest coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the Chemex method work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Chemex method is based on <\/span>slow percolation<\/b>, where coffee is filtered through a <\/span>thick filter<\/b>. The particular shape of the Chemex and the type of filter used allow the coffee oils and sediment to be separated, resulting in a lighter and clearer drink than other methods, such as the <\/span>moka <\/b>pot or <\/span>French press<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Percolation occurs through a combination of <\/span>temperature<\/b>, <\/span>infusion time<\/b> and <\/span>ideal mixing<\/b> of the beans. This process allows you to extract the best from each bean, enhancing the most delicate and aromatic notes of the coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n
