A Note About Coffee & Cups

Let us break it down for you: Although 8 ounces equals a cup in the baking world, a US cup of coffee is measured at 6 ounces and a European cup of coffee is measured at 4.25 ounces. This is why we sometimes list ounces to paint a more accurate picture of capacity. And what do you know--The Chemex instructions measure coffee in 5 ounce cups--go figure!

Pros
  • Well Designed - A sophisticated glass and wood design, with a scientific pedigree to boot!
  • High Quality - The iconic one-piece, hourglass shaped vessel is made of high quality, heat resistant glass and ecologically sustainable rubber wood.
  • Low Tech, High Flavor - Incredibly easy to operate, no steep learning curve to master before you create a superior cup of coffee.
Cons
  • Fragile - Glass products including this coffee maker require a little extra care to ensure they do not break.

Charles G asked: Will the flavor be affected if I buy a 6-cup but routinely brew just about 3 cups worth? I'd prefer to have the 6-cup for company but am curious if using it for smaller batches will affect the flavor too much. Jul 9, 2012

victoria l: Nope! It sure won't, just make sure to add the correct amount of grounds to water ratio and you should be just fine! Unless you like it a bit stronger..
I brew anywhere from 3 to the full 6 and every time it's consistent and delicious. There are tons of helpful videos on YouTube you can check out and find your own unique brewing method. Lot's of great tips and tricks on there (i.e., adding a pinch of salt to dry grounds for better flavor), another tip is to heat up your milk/creamer before pouring your coffee, it stays warm this way instead of going cold from the milk. I highly recommend watching those videos, I've learned so much myself! Hope this helps! :D

CA M: Charles, I just bought the six cup unit, and I can't imagine making a smaller batch making a difference. Coffee and water are joined by percentages. As long as you adjust the measures in direct proportion there should be no problem. Jul 31, 2012

Mike H: Charles, I am no expert like a lot of others in this group but I am using my 6 cup Chemex for 10 oz and up to 30 oz and I cannot tell the difference in the coffee. However, you need to make sure you are following the brew instructions exactly - 30 second bloom and 4 minute brew to get the full flavor. I found I really need a drip kettle to ensure I am getting all the grounds brewed correctly - I found it made a huge quality difference and the drip kettle made the entire process much easier.

Mollie: Where do you find a drip kettle? Are there certain brands or is it just a generic type? thanks. Mar 28, 2013
Thomas asked: Does anyone know where to get a smaller Chemex coffee maker- the individual size? We have a small kitchen and only make a cup a day. THANKS Dec 6, 2012

Teri KStaff: Hi Thom,

Check back with us soon-- marketing is considering adding additional sizes of the Chemex to our product offering! Other options for single cups would be the Hario or Kalita dripper, or the Hario Drip Pot. Hope this helps!

Very smooth, very delicious coffee. I've been enjoying a french press for years but I love Chemex coffee even more. Thanks!

We love our Chemex, we thought we made the best coffee before until we drank coffee from the Chemex. A very smooth delicious cup of coffee. Did a blind taste test at a dinner party and hands down Chemex coffee was chosen over our old way of brewing.

Love the Chemex, we thought we were drinking good coffee until we bought the Chemex. We did a blind taste comparison against our usual brew method and picked the chemex. We then had a group of people over and did the same blind taste test against our old brew method and they all picked the Chemex coffee. Hands down a better cup of coffee, smooth, velvety, and very delicious.
