The procedure

Regulatory

There will only be 9 competitors. Everyone will present his/her brewing skills in 3 rounds. In every round, there are 3 people brewing „against“ each other. Every round consists of 15 minutes for brewing and 10 minutes for judging.

Coffee

For practice, we will send out 350 g of coffee that was roasted 5 days before shipment. For the competition itself, we use the same coffee – roasted 7 days before the date of the Chemex Cup.

Gear

We will provide different sizes of Chemex coffeemakers: 3, 6 or 8 cup. It is also possible to bring your own Chemex coffeemaker (3, 6 or 8 cup). We will provide bleached filter papers. There will be Hario kettles and Acaia scale as brewing equipments as well as the following grinders: EK 43, Comandante and Vario Home. Feel free to bring your own hand grinder.

Water + Water Boiler

We will use filtered water sponsored by Brita: 5°dH GH, 4°dH KH. It is also possible to use your own bottled water.

We will provide a water boiler by The Bunn with access to pre-heated water up to 96°C. Additionally, it is possible to use Bonavita water boilers where you can set the water temperature manually.
