Some mornings call for a pour-over, and there is no better way to taste what oak roasting does to a coffee. The CHEMEX® pulls out the sweetness and clarity, leaves the bitterness in the filter, and looks good doing it. The design has not changed since 1941, and it sits in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art for a reason.
This is the three-cup Classic, sized for one good mug and no waste. Small enough for a desk or a camper, with the same borosilicate glass that holds no flavor from one brew to the next and the same polished wood collar with a leather tie. It ships with CHEMEX® Natural Half Moon Bonded Filters, unbleached and thicker than standard paper, which is the whole trick: a clean, bright cup with no grit and no sediment.
Pair it with a bag of Fireside or a single origin and grind for pour-over.
Need a different size? Making enough for two? Try the Six Cup Chemex. Pouring for the whole family? Go with the Eight Cup Chemex.
Features
A clean, smooth cup. Chemex’s bonded filters are thicker than standard paper, so grounds and sediment stay out of your mug.
Pure glass, pure flavor. Non-porous borosilicate glass, the same kind used in labs, doesn’t hold onto flavors or odors from one brew to the next.
Brew and serve in one. The carafe goes straight from the counter to the table, with no extra pot to clean.
A design that’s lasted since 1941. The hourglass shape, wood collar, and leather tie haven’t changed, and they don’t need to.
Just right for one. The three-cup size brews about 15 oz, perfect for your morning mug with a little left for later.
