The actual process of brewing is entirely different, too, as you literally press coffee in a French press and let the coffee drip in a Chemex. The most visually distinctive feature of the Chemex is the heatproof wooden collar around the neck, which allows it to be easily handled and poured when full of hot coffee. Inspired by a laboratory glass funnel and Erlenmeyer flask, the Chemex’s simple, yet unique design encourages excess air to escape from the bottom of the carafe, through a paper filter, allowing the coffee to filter at a perfect rate.

The Chemex is a beautiful glass vessel made of non-porous glass that doesn't absorb odours or chemical residues. The Chemex Coffeemaker delivers only the elements essential to rich coffee flavour, so that your personal taste and approach shine through.

According to Chemex, the 6- and 8-cup versions are most popular, however (and we can certainly attest to that! 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.

Grinder: The best coffee grinder for a Chemex (and any brew method) will always be a burr grinder , since burr grinders provide more consistency in grind size and resulting taste than blade grinders. Made from heavy-walled heat-resistant glass, our flat-bottomed kettle will ensure a delightful boiling and brewing process. In our recipes, we measure water in grams because we use scales, and it’s easy to achieve precision this way. Size: The Chemex comes in multiple sizes, from three cups all the way up to 13, while the HARIO V60 comes in three sizes (01, 02 and 03).
