1. Separate 4 layers of filter: 3 layers on one side, and 1 on the other. Insert filter into Chemex, with the 3 layer fold on the spout side, and rinse thoroughly. Be sure to discard the water.

2. Add coffee and shake and tap on counter to settle the grounds.

3. Add about 75g of water for a 30-50 second pre-infusion, saturating all of the grounds evenly with circular motions.

4. During pre-infusion, pick up the entire brewer and give it a swirl to agitate the grounds for even saturation.

5. Add 675g more water in an aggressive manner, pouring in a circular motion and avoiding the edges. If needed, adjust the pour speed to maintain level bed (about ½ inch from the top of the brewer).

6. Give it a little stir around the edges.

7. Admire extraction, allowing for it to completely drain. Admire a little more before serving.
