Chemex coffee beans are at their best when the coffee has enough sweetness and character to shine through the brewer’s thick paper filter. Coffees with floral, citrus, berry or stone-fruit notes can become especially clear and elegant in a Chemex, while balanced medium roasts offer a little more body without losing the clean finish.

For a good starting recipe, use freshly ground coffee at a medium-coarse setting and filtered water just off the boil. If the cup tastes thin, grind a little finer; if it tastes dry or heavy, go coarser. Browse this selection for freshly roasted Chemex coffee in Dubai and across the UAE.
