If you haven\u2019t learned it already, you will no doubt be tempted to use the classic and most obvious method: as your Chemex filter<\/a> is already pre-folded in four, all you need to do is place it in the Chemex. The only problem is that this leaves a filter that is three times thicker on one side than the other. Less coffee will pass through the thicker side, resulting in an irregular extraction. Which is a real shame, particularly when you\u2019re using a precise piece of equipment like the Chemex. The alternative method, favoured by baristas<\/strong>, consists of folding the filter into a flower. This ensures a uniform level of thickness across the whole filter and, in turn, a much more consistent extraction. What\u2019s more, the cone formed at the bottom of the filter will be narrower, meaning that there will be more contact between water and coffee. Your cup of coffee will therefore have a more intense flavour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So\u2026 who\u2019s up for a bit of origami?!<\/p>\n
