  1. Rinse the Chemex paper filter well. Add 30g of coffee and level gently.
  2. 0:00 - Add 90g of water. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. 0:30 – pour the remaining water into the center until you reach 550g in a controlled manner (approximately 10g per second)
  4. After pouring out all the water, shake gently.
