Making Coffee using the Chemex Classic 6 Cup

Invented in 1941, the Chemex Classic 6 Cup coffee makers remains a world-renowned coffee maker to this day. The hourglass figure makes the Chemex one of the most iconic coffee makers of our time, and brews a cup to match the fame.

The Chemex Classic 6 Cup is a pour over coffee method that comes with the company’s unique bonded paper filters. These filters are thick and forgiving, filtering out all of the coffee sediment and many of the oils. The result is a coffee with a bright flavor and light body in four minutes or less.

Since coffee from the Chemex is so pure and filtered, the device works great as an iced coffee maker. To do this, simply cut your water by a third and add a thick layer of ice to the bottom of the carafe. As the coffee hits the ice, it chills instantly, preserving the aromas and producing a refreshing glass of iced coffee.

The brewer is built with a 900ml non-porous borosilicate glass that’s durable and doesn’t pick up flavors or aromas around it. It features a wood neck collar strapped on by a strand of leather. This catches the eye of everyone nearby and guards your hand when you pour hot coffee into mugs.

Will you stock the Chemex Glass Handle in 8 or 10 Cup in the future?

Very nice video and tips Joshua! I also like the jingle in every closing of your videos. :)

I was interested in the stainless steel filter rather than paper. Would this give the same level of “clean” filtration as the thick paper?

What do you think about the difference between Chemex and Brewista Hourglass?
Could you really use the Brewista Hourglass with chemex or V60 filter papers?
Great review!

[christianninsananda]

Is the bloom time included in the total time or separate?

Thanks for your reviews. I love my Chemex 6 cup. My grinder just broke ... what would you suggest as the best electric grinder as a replacement (I only make coffee with a Chemex, so don't need versatility - just a grinder that is reliable and doesn't break) and which would you suggest as the best hand held grinder for making 6 cups using the Chemex (when we're camping.) Thanks!

hey bro can you explain the purpose of wood handle? its just for a grip or theres something reason maybe? and the belly button and the chemex

How do you know the volume of water to add? Are you roughly adding it? I mean, I use a Stagg from Fellow, but if I was to follow your video of doing a 210ml pulse, I'd need to measure it out and add the kettle (presuming you don't do this!)

[davidringgenberg]

Do you change the coffee to water ratio when you go to 4 or 6 cups? Is it better to change the grind?

[daisy]

How are you measuring the bloom quantity, and then the 100ml pours ? scales under the Chemex ?

[holliedekraai]

Do you happen to know what a good grind setting would be for the chemex using a Baratza Encore grinder?

[GerryScullion]

Also if brewing for more than one cup, how much coffee should I add? 70gm with 1180ml?

[truro]

Could you please explain the difference (if any) between coffee brewed in a Cheney and a V60. Thanks

[StormRidersFishing]

When using the Chemex six with the fellow stagg. How does one get six cups of coffee 1.42L, when the stagg only holds 0.9L?

[billgraham]

Does the reusable filter make as good coffee as the paper?

[gabsfer]

but you do not explain what is the device you are using to keep in it warm, I made it and the coffee goes cold way too quick

[Doc_Mitch]

If I’m a single drinker, is the 6 cup Chemex right for me?

[haziqzamri]

What coffee grinder is that on the background?
