Our verdict

A dependable manual brewer once you're used to the process, best purchased a size up from what you'd first guess given the small cup measurement.

Overview

The 6-cup Chemex pour-over coffeemaker with the built-in glass handle version, made from a single piece of non-porous borosilicate glass that also serves as the carafe.

Chemex measures its cup size at 5 ounces, not a standard mug, so the stated capacity brews fewer full mugs than the number suggests. The glass-handle version trades the classic wood collar for something easier to hold and wash.

  • Non-porous borosilicate glass that won't hold onto odors
  • Built-in glass handle instead of a tied wood collar
  • Yields roughly 4-5 standard mugs from its 6-cup rating
  • Requires Chemex Bonded Filters FP-1, FC-100, FS-100 or FSU-100, sold separately

Who it's for

For people who want to brew coffee manually and don't mind the extra steps versus a machine. Less suited to anyone who wants a large-format brewer or a hands-off morning routine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Doubles as brewer and server, cutting down on dishes
  • No moving parts to clean or replace
  • Can be reheated on the stovetop instead of a warming plate
Cons
  • Filters are not included and must be Chemex-branded
  • Curved shape needs a long-handled brush to clean well
  • Actual yield is smaller than expected since a Chemex cup is 5oz

Performance notes

The patented funnel shape lets brewed coffee sit covered in the refrigerator and be reheated later without the flavor breaking down, and the glass can sit directly on a gas or electric burner to stay warm. It requires Chemex-branded filters such as FP-1 or FC-100, which are not included.
