Next — the best part — let the coffee “bloom,” a process that saturates the grounds and doubles the weight of your coffee. Slowly pour the remaining water over the grounds, using a circular or back-and-forth motion as you pour to ensure an even soaking of the grounds. If you would like to receive your Ottomatic with a differently sized Chemex Coffeemaker, please contact us and we can swap out the standard CM-6A for a 6GH, 8A or 8GH.

We, at Wogan Coffee, have been lovingly hand-roasting speciality, ethical, sustainable and traceable coffees since 1970. The Chemex is a beautiful glass vessel made of non-porous glass that doesn't absorb odours or chemical residues. If you have an electric coil stove top, you must utilise the Chemex stainless steel wire grid (TKG) in between the Chemex and the coils to prevent breakage.

Pour the remaining water in three batches of 120g (for 3 Cup Chemex) 240g (for 6 Cup Chemex) using a circular motion, until you’ve poured a total of 400g (for 3 Cup Chemex) 800g (for 6 Cup Chemex) including the bloom.

Damages due to use which is improper or contrary to instruction and damage due to abuse are not under the responsibility of the manufacturer and are not covered by the warranty.Most Chemex carafes are dishwasher-safe, though we personally don’t recommend putting them in the dishwasher. Chemex filters are thicker than HARIO V60 filters, so more oils will naturally find their way into your cup with a HARIO V60 versus a Chemex. Brewing with Hot Plate Deactivated: (This method can be used to make Iced beverages): Set switch to double line "II" A solid red light will appear below the word "Chemex®" found on the base plate. Coffee Scoop or Scale: Using a scoop works just fine in a pinch, but a coffee scale will do you wonders! The most visually distinctive feature of the Chemex is the heatproof wooden collar around the neck, which allows it to be easily handled and poured when full of hot coffee.

In 1958, designers at the Illinois Institute of Technology selected the Chemex Coffeemaker as "one of the best-designed products of modern times.The Chemex allows you to reheat your coffee without losing flavour, and is really easy to clean just remove the polished wood collar and leather tie and either hand wash it or pop it in the dishwasher. It’s made with just one piece of borosilicate glass and embellished with a wooden collar and rawhide tie, the latter of which comes in a variety of colors to match your kitchen (because this is definitely something you want to show off on your counter). You can always use pre-ground coffee, though we recommend freshly ground because it does elevate the flavour of each brew. It became so popular that it’s even earned a spot at the MoMA and appeared on numerous films and TV shows, such as James Bond’s From Russia with Love and Friends.
