The proprietary thick Chemex filter absorbs coffee oils and traps fine particles. This produces an exceptionally clean, bright, and transparent cup. Using thinner third-party filters will alter the characteristic Chemex taste.
With 250g, you can brew approximately 14-17 single cups (250 ml each) or 5-6 full Chemex batches (6 cups each). Chemex is particularly well-suited for brewing for a group.
A watery taste indicates under-extraction. Try grinding slightly finer, increasing the water temperature to 94-96 degrees Celsius, or extending the brew time. Also check your coffee-to-water ratio; 1:15 to 1:16 is the ideal range.
250 grams of Chemex coffee is a medium-coarse specialty grind sized for discovering the Chemex brewer's signature ultra-clean profile. Ideal for trying new single origins or for entertaining guests with an elegant pour-over experience.
A 250 g Chemex bag yields approximately 6-8 brews (based on 500 ml servings). That is enough to explore how a new origin expresses itself through Chemex's thick paper filter and transparent extraction.
Among all pour-over methods, Chemex produces the cleanest, most transparent cup. That clarity reveals quality and flaws alike — nothing is hidden. This is precisely why the coffee you put into a Chemex should be high quality, and a 250 g specialty bag is designed for exactly that purpose.
Our 250 g Chemex range spotlights high-altitude, aromatically rich single-origin coffees. When Ethiopian Yirgacheffe jasmine and bergamot or Kenyan AA red-fruit brightness passes through the Chemex's thick filter, the result is a crystal-clear cup that showcases every nuance. The 250 g format lets you taste several origins in quick succession to find your Chemex favourites.
Chemex's transparency shines with single-origin coffees. Start with Ethiopian or Kenyan lots for the most vivid results.
The thick Chemex filter carries more papery flavour than thinner filters. Rinse with plenty of hot water before brewing.
A 250 g bag is ideal for a dinner-party Chemex session. The glass carafe doubles as an elegant table centrepiece.
“The Chemex is the X-ray machine of the coffee world — it shows everything. That is why the coffee you use must be top quality. Our 250 g specialty bag is made for that kind of revealing exploration.”— Fuga Coffee Brewing Team
