You will need:

Filter Paper Coffee

Freshly Ground To Medium Coarseness

Water Just Off The Boil

Weighing Scales

Timer

As with most filter brewing techniques I like to start with 60g of coffee per litre of water. You can always add or reduce the amount if you would like to alter the strength of the brew next time around.

We are going to make a 500 ml batch.

Pop your kettle on to boil. Put a paper filter in the top of your Chemex brewer. Make sure the three layer side of the filter is on the side of the pouring spout. Once the kettle has boiled, use plenty of hot water to rinse out your filter. Discard the rinsing water.

Place your Chemex on to your scales and add 30g of coffee. Tare the scales so you are back to zero.

Start your timer. Then pour in your just off the boil water. At first we will add 100g of water being careful to make sure all the coffee is wet. Allow the coffee to saturate and 'bloom' for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Now pour in the rest of your water in concentric circles to ensure water is evenly distributed on to the coffee bed. Once we are at 500g on a scales we wait for the coffee to filter through to the brewer.

Pour and enjoy!

Aeropress Coffee Maker

Filter Paper

Coffee Freshly Ground To Medium Coarseness

85C Water

Weighing

Scales

Timer

Boil your kettle and allow it to stand for a few minutes. If you have a temperature control kettle, boil it to 85C and get right to it. Place your filter paper in the end cap of the Aeropress and rinse with boiling water. Set this aside.

Place the plunger in to the brew chamber of the Aeropress and invert it so it is resting on the plunger handle and the open brew chamber is facing up. Like an upturned syringe. Place it on your scales and add in 17g of coffee.

Add 250g of your water and give it a stir around to saturate the grinds.

Allow to steep for around 30 seconds and then screw on the cap containing the filter paper. Be careful.

Now invert the Aeropress on to the top of your mug and gently press down on the plunger. Take your time and saver the aroma.

If you like your coffee strong then go ahead and enjoy, if not you can dilute with 100g of water. Enjoy!

Cafetière

Medium/Coarse Ground Fresh Coffee

Water Just Off The Boil

Weighing Scales

Timer

2 Tablespoons

Making good coffee in a Cafetière is not a quick process. You've got to be patient with this method but the results are worth the wait.

Place your Cafetière on to your scales and add in 30g of coffee.

Add in 500g of just off the boil water and allow it to brew for 4 minutes.

With your tablespoons give the coffee a good stir and allow the coffee to gently fall to the bottom of the brewer. Scoop of any foam or residual floating coffee and discard.

Wait 5 more minutes. Trust me.

Place the plunger in to the brewer but DO NOT plunge. Just push it down to the top of the coffee. We are purely using it as a little extra straining and we do not want to disturb the coffee bed and stir up all the sludge.

Pour and enjoy!

V60 Brewer

Filter Paper

As with most filter brewing techniques I like to start with 60g of coffee per litre of water. You can always add or reduce the amount if you would like to alter the strength of the brew next time around.

We are going to make a 300 ml batch.

Pop your kettle on to boil. Put a paper filter in your V60. Once the kettle has boiled, use plenty of hot water to rinse out your filter. Discard the rinsing water.

Place your V60 on to your cup and then on to your scales. Tare your scales and add 18g of coffee. Tare the scales again so you are back to zero.

Start your timer. Then pour in your just off the boil water. At first we will add 50g of water being careful to make sure all the coffee is wet. Allow the coffee to saturate and 'bloom' for 45 seconds. Now pour in the rest of your water in concentric circles to ensure water is evenly distributed on to the coffee bed. Once we are at 350g on a scales we wait for the coffee to filter through to the brewer.

Enjoy!
