Bear in mind that after just 15 minutes, coffee loses between 60 and 70% of its aromatic properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Check that the ground coffee corresponds to the amount of beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, we calibrate the scale, double-check that the weight is correct, and we are now ready for extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We wait for the water to reach the desired temperature and start the timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">During the first phase, called \u201cwetting,\u201d we wet the coffee, trying to cover the entire coffee cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">(I poured about 90 grams of water but was careful to cover all the coffee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We wait 30 seconds: this phase is called \u201cblooming\u201d because the carbon dioxide in the coffee is released, forming air bubbles on the surface of the ground coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We resume pouring in a spiral motion from the center outwards and from the outside inwards, trying to find our own rhythm and trying not to raise the water level in the filter too much, as this would risk leaving particles on the walls that are not extracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Here too, the recipe was 30 grams of coffee for 500 ml of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, we apply further turbulence\u2014you can do this with a spoon or a wooden spoon\u2014but please try to follow the same routine to ensure consistency in all extractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Now we wait for the \u201cdrop down\u201d phase to end, during which the water passes through the coffee and ends up in the Chemex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The turbulence applied at the end not only aids extraction but also leaves the extracted coffee grounds very uniform, which is a sign that the extraction has been done correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">And now our Chemex is ready to be tasted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lepiantagionidelcaffe.com\/en\/disruptive-coffee-school\/how-to-make-coffee\/alternative-brewing-methods\/chemex\/\">Chemex<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Paolo from Le Piantagioni del Caff\u00e8, and in this video I&#8217;m going to brew one of our Dirompenti coffees, Buenos Aires, using a Chemex!
