ASIN: B0000YWF5ECategory: Pour Over Coffee Makers
Overview
Chemex Classic Series - a clear pour over coffee maker.
Chemex measures its cups at 5 ounces rather than the standard 8, so the 6-cup rating works out closer to a 30-ounce brew than a full pot of drip coffee. Filters are not included and must be Chemex's own bonded FP-1, FC-100, FS-100, or FSU-100 filters, so factor that into ongoing cost.
- 6-cup capacity (5oz per cup)
- Non-porous borosilicate glass
- Patented pour-over design
- Requires Chemex bonded filters FP-1/FC-100/FS-100/FSU-100
Who it's for
People willing to manage pour speed, grind, and water temperature by hand, often with a gooseneck kettle and a scale for consistency, get the most from this brewer. It is not a fit for anyone wanting a one-button brew with no technique involved.
Pros and cons
- Glass holds no odors or oil residue between brews
- Coffee can be refrigerated and reheated later
- No plastic or metal touches the coffee
- Simple build with few parts to fail
- Requires Chemex-branded filters, sold separately
- Manual pour technique affects results
- Often paired with a scale and kettle
