Chemex coffee-to-water ratio We recommend starting with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio when brewing with the Chemex. In other words, for every 1 gram of coffee, add 15 grams of water, which converts to about 3 tablespoon of coffee for every 1 cup of water. Experiment from there to find the perfect ratio for you.
- Heat your water to 205 degrees by bringing it to a boil and letting it sit for 30 seconds.
- Unfold the Chemex filter and insert in the top of the brewer, making sure the 3-layered side of the filter is lined up with the pouring spout.
- Pour hot water around the inside of the filter for about 5 seconds.

Chemex Water to Coffee Ratio: For this Chemex Brew Guide we're using a 8-cup Chemex coffee maker. If you're using another size, we recommend using a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio when brewing with a Chemex. So for every 1 gram of coffee use 15 grams of water, or roughly 3 tablespoons of coffee for every 1 cup of water.
As a starting point, we recommend using 50 grams of coffee and 700 grams of water (about 25 ounces), and then adjust according to your taste. Weigh out the coffee and grind to a coarseness resembling sea salt.
