☕ How to Brew Laughing Bird Coffee

6-Cup Chemex | 1:16 Ratio
Sustainable • Direct Trade

Enjoy a clean, vibrant brew with this Chemex recipe that showcases the quality and care behind our sustainable, direct trade coffee.  We love our Single Origin Colombia Tolima brewed on Chemex as it brings out the dark chocolate notes. 

What You’ll Need:

  • 6-cup Chemex brewer
  • Chemex filter
  • 45g Laughing Bird Coffee, medium-coarse grind (slightly coarser than drip)
  • 720g hot water (~200°F)
  • Gooseneck kettle
  • Scale & timer
  • Carafe or large mug

Brewing Steps:

1. Prep – Place and rinse the Chemex filter thoroughly with hot water; discard rinse water
2. Add Coffee – Add 45g of ground coffee and level the bed
3. Bloom – Pour 90g water evenly over grounds; wait 30–45 seconds to bloom
4. Pour – Slowly pour the remaining 630g water in steady, circular motions, keeping the water level consistent
5. Let Drain – Total brew time should be about 4:30–5:00 minutes
6. Serve – Remove the filter and enjoy a bright, clean cup of sustainable, direct trade coffee

Why Chemex?

The thick Chemex filter removes oils and sediment for a crisp, clean cup that perfectly highlights the floral and fruity notes of our shade-grown, direct trade coffee — brewed with care for both people and planet.
