The hand-blown versions of the iconic Chemex Classic coffee maker allow you to immerse yourself in true craftsmanship and the pure quality of the glass. Its timeless design has secured the Chemex a permanent place in renowned design museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian, and Philadelphia Museum of Art – and it works just as well as a brewing tool as it does as a design object on your kitchen counter.
The Chemex brews using the pour-over principle, where the dosage, grind size, and the way you pour the water are crucial for how the coffee’s aromas emerge. The filter holder and carafe are integrated into one unit, which provides a clean, simple aesthetic and makes the Chemex both a brewer and a serving carafe in one.
Here you have several sizes to choose from – from the small 3-cup model to larger 6-, 8-, and 10-cup versions (approx. 0.5–1.5 liters of coffee per brew). Choose the size according to your habits: the small one for everyday coffee or single-origin tasting, and the larger carafes for guests, the office, or slow mornings.
For a consistent result, we recommend:
-
Original Chemex paper filters (FP-2 for 3-cup, the classic square filters for 6–10 cups)
-
Medium-coarse grind size of freshly ground coffee
-
Water temperature around 92–96 °C and a calm, controlled circular pour
In this way, you get the best out of every single bean – and can enjoy a clear, elegant cup of coffee, whether you are brewing 3, 6, 8, or 10 cups at a time.
