Chemex CHEM6WOOD 6-Cup Wood Neck Coffee Maker - Clear

Product Information

The Chemex coffeemaker consists of an hourglass-shaped glass flask with a conical funnel-like neck and proprietary filters, made of bonded paper, that are thicker than the standard paper filters used for a drip coffeemaker. He discovered that using thicker paper lead to less acidic (less bright) coffees that didn’t upset stomachs as much for those sensitive to that kind of thing; he didn’t know it also reduced the coffee oils making it to the cup, thus reducing the cholesterol extraction from the coffee, but it does, and some see that as a benefit to this day.

And we’ve chosen an amazing coffee from Batdorf Coffee, their Ethiopian Sidamo Guji, which sadly is very seasonal and no longer available this year (it was beautiful). Its elegant hourglass design has an old-fashioned charm which is probably one of the reasons Chemex is a staple in many kitchens today. These sizes (especially the handblown ones) were originally implemented by the inventor in the 1940's.One needs to observe the filter and ensure the gap between filter paper and the pouring spout chute remains clear of the filter paper material.

Chemex Coffemakers and Filters

If you read the instructions manuals, both Aeropress and Chemex are guaranteed to give you a good coffee in 3-4 minutes, and this includes the time needed to put the device together. The Chemex is available in a variety of sizes, including 3, 6, 8, and 10 cups, which is unique for pour overs, as the majority make just one cup at a time. Mark has certified as a Canadian, USA, and World Barista Championship Judge in both sensory and technical fields, as well as working as an instructor in coffee and espresso training.And just among ourselves, the Aeropress brew is often described as espresso-like, but we all know it’s not actually espresso.
