FAQs
What size cups are used for measurement?
We measure in 5-ounce cup increments.
Are the coffeemakers dishwasher safe?
Yes. The glass coffeemakers can go in the dishwasher once the wooden collar and leather tie are removed. To avoid breakage, ensure the carafe is secure and not in contact with other dishes. Hand washing with a coffeemaker brush is also an excellent option.
Why do some models have a wooden collar while others have a glass handle?
This is purely aesthetic—both versions function the same. Choose based on your personal style preference.
Can I brew less coffee than the full capacity?
Absolutely. You can brew any amount up to the full capacity. Just adjust the coffee-to-water ratio accordingly.
How to Use Your CHEMEX®
-
Get into the Grind
Use medium-coarse ground coffee for best results. -
Filter Up
Unfold a CHEMEX Bonded™ Filter into a cone with three layers on one side. Place the filter in the top of the coffeemaker with the thick side covering the spout. -
Scoop
Add 1 rounded tablespoon of ground coffee per 5 oz cup into the filter. Adjust to taste. -
Let it Bloom
Pour a small amount of hot (not boiling) water in a circular motion to wet the grounds. Let it bloom for 30 seconds. -
First Pour
Slowly pour water over the grounds, keeping the level below the rim by at least ¼ inch. -
Continue Brewing
Gradually pour the remaining water in a steady, circular motion to evenly saturate the grounds. -
Remove the Filter
Once brewing is complete, lift and discard the biodegradable filter with used grounds. -
Serve and Enjoy
Pour into your CHEMEX® mug and savor a clean, flavorful cup of coffee.
