Chemex Coffeemaker

You should use Chemex Bonded Filters. They are thicker than standard paper filters, which is essential for removing bitter oils and sediment to achieve the signature clean, crisp taste the brewer is known for.

Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while you pour. It provides a secure, comfortable grip, making it easy to handle the brewer even when it is full of hot coffee.

While the Borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, it is not designed for direct contact with an electric coil or open flame. If you need to reheat your coffee, we recommend using a glass stovetop kettle or transferring the coffee to a different vessel, though the Chemex is safe to place in the refrigerator.

This model has a 30-ounce capacity, which Chemex defines as 6 cups based on a 5-ounce serving size. In practical terms, this is typically enough for 2 to 3 standard 10-ounce mugs of coffee.

Because the glass is non-porous, it does not absorb odors or residues, which makes it relatively easy to clean. A simple rinse with warm water and mild soap after each use is usually sufficient, though a bottle brush helps reach the bottom of the carafe.
