Coffee house became a popular alternative to taverns and alehouses, they also became something else: “coffee house politicians” to air their grievances. One could argue that these intelligentsia and knowledge economy workers.
Samuel Peyps and Sir Isaac Newton were regulars – were not too dissimilar to 
the types of freelancers and creative class workers we find in places like The Proud East today.
But instead of ranting on Twitter or in the comments section of newspapers, Green says patrons of London’s early coffee houses rebelled in the novelty of boisterously voicing their opinions to their (almost exclusively male) companions.
Coffee brewing instructions from CHEMEXLike all good things, full flavour takes time — and your own special touch. The CHEMEX® coffeemaker delivers only the elements essential to rich coffee flavour, so that your personal taste and approach shine through.
Step 1: Get into the grindSelect your favourite whole bean coffee you want to enjoy and grind it to medium coarse ground.
Optional Tip: We suggest using a burr grinder because it delivers a more consistent particle size, allowing for a more even extraction and fuller bodied cup of coffee.
Open a CHEMEX® Bonded Coffee Filter into a cone shape so that one side of the 
cone has three layers, and place it into the top of the CHEMEX® brewer. The thick (three-layer) portion should cover the pouring spout.
Optional Tip: Dampen the filter with warm water to rinse and preheat the brewer. Once the water has drained through the filter completely, pour it out of the brewer while keeping the filter sealed against the coffeemaker wall.
Put one rounded tablespoon of ground coffee for every 5 oz. cup into the filter 
cone. Feel free to use more if you prefer it stronger; our CHEMEX® brewing process eliminates bitterness.
Tip: On all brewers except the pint size model, the “button” indicates the carafe is half filled and the bottom of the wooden collar/spout indicates it’s full. On the pint size brewer, the button is the full marker.
Once you have brought the appropriate amount of water to a boil, remove it 
from the heat and allow it to stop boiling vigorously.
Pour a small amount of water over the coffee grounds to wet them, and wait for about 30 seconds for them to “bloom”, releasing the most desirable coffee elements from the grounds.
Optional Tip: Perfect brewing temperature is about 200°F.
After the grounds bloom, slowly pour the brewing water over the grounds while keeping the water level well below the top of the CHEMEX® (quarter inch or more).
Slowly pour the remaining water over the grounds, using a circular or back-and-forth motion as you pour to ensure an even soaking of the grounds.
Once the desired amount of coffee is brewed, lift the filter with
spent grounds out of the brewer and discard.
Pour your freshly made coffee into your CHEMEX® mug and 
indulge in the flavour.
In order to keep your coffee warm you may place the CHEMEX® directly on 
either a glass stove top or gas flame both at low heat. If you have an electric coil stove top, you must utilize the CHEMEX® stainless steel wire grid (TKG) in between the CHEMEX® and the coils to prevent breakage. Be sure that there is a small amount of liquid in the carafe before placing it on a warm heating element.
A carefully cleaned and handled CHEMEX® brewer will give you a lifetime of 
service. Remove the wooden handle and continue to hand wash with warm soap and water, or place the coffeemaker securely in the dishwasher.
The blending of art and science doesn’t end with the CHEMEX® 
coffeemaker. Our CHEMEX® 2-Quart Water Kettle achieves the perfect brewing temperature with functional elegance. Made from heavy-walled heat-resistant glass, our flat-bottomed kettle will ensure a delightful boiling and brewing process. The unique silicone stopper keeps the brewed water at peak temperature while venting steam, so the neck stays cool to the touch for safe handling.
Warning: Do not place the CHEMEX® Water Kettle directly on an electric coil stove top. For use with an electric coil stove top we recommend using our CHEMEX® stainless steel wire grid (TKG) between the kettle and the coils to prevent breakage and personal harm.
The “gig economy” is triumphing over everything else. As that trend gathers force and there is no reason why it should not, people who work for themselves are going to become an ever-more powerful economic and political force.
This “sharing” economy, pioneered by the likes of Uber and Airbnb, is opening up vast new opportunities for working for yourself; so is the spread of broadband, and well-funded start-ups – all those “unicorns”, the billion-plus dollar start-ups – love to take on lots of freelancers and don’t object to paying them pretty well
The rise of the “gig economy” will prove to be a powerful social trend, both in the UK and in most of the developed work. It shows no sign of slowing down – and it is going to impact the economy and the political system far more than most people yet realise.
Coffee shops are about work in another way, too – the rise of the “gig economy”. The proliferation of freelance workers. Digital contractors and entrepreneurs who don’t have an office and can’t afford to rent one – has been crucial in shaping their new role.
The global research platform Allegra World Coffee Portal estimates 100% growth in the sector by 2020, outpacing the conventional coffee market year on year.
While the modern iteration of the coffee house is decidedly more subdued (pendant lighting, minimalist aesthetic, distressed wood) than the likes of Soho’s famed Le Macabre, where patrons sat on dark coffins and tapped their cigarette ash into skulls, Green says what they signify in the culture is similar.
The coffee house has always been a mark of sophistication … and a barometer of gentrification. Even going back to 1650s they were a sign of a rising tide of economic prosperity, because that’s when there was a trade boom.
