Thank you cats. The measuring by using 1/2 the water to 1/2 the coffee was the track I was on - makes sense. But I feel reassured by Bee-dubya-ell's description of how a perculator works. Tomorrow will tell. ( and so will I, after making my brew) Btw what's a chemex? And feel free, while you're here, to contribute any coffee stories or preferences you may have - method of making, caff or decaf,,type of coffee you prefer ( mine's Columbian) , funny stories, or even coffee songs. I' m sure there must be a few, besides the Chock Full O Nuts theme. Which is, alas, as indelibly embedded in my memory as the national anthem.
