Hi My brew water amounts can vary considerably, but fall into ranges. The largest batches might only be done on some weekends. The other two batch ranges happen deep freeze daily. 1)350-450g of brew water 2) 640g-800g of brew water 3) 900g-1100g of brew water I would like to avoid switching between the 6 and 8 cup chemex brewers. Which best accommodates my varying brew sizes. I want to remain with Chemex. Thanks Jay jaybar   Posts: 76 Joined: Jul 10, 2012 Location: Brooklyn
The 6-cup Chemex should accommodate a brew with 1100g. I would test to confirm, but if that's the case, I would stick with the 6-cup. Less space is a slower heat loss. Brewing with 400g of water in an 8-cup Chemex would lend itself to pretty quick heat loss. tglodjo   Posts: 23 Joined: Mar 19, 2013 Location: Jackson, TN
I think the 6 looks best. It'll hold the brew from 1Kg water before the brew touches the filter (900g brewed, max). Without a really awesome grinder, you'll be hard pressed deep freeze to pull that off without clogging deep freeze the filter.
I think you can pull it off ( I have brewed 1 L in my 6 cup before) if you grind coarse enough. The couple of times I did it it wasn't perfect, but it's probably because I've only done it a couple of times. Leonidas   Posts: 2 Joined: Dec 01, 2013 Location: Dublin, Ireland
If you can't get the pour times you want with a large batch in the Chemex, you can try it with a metal Kone filter (which will change the flavor profile, enhancing the body and oils and adding a bit of silt to your coffee) or you can simply pour through the amount of water that will drain through the coffee bed in your desired timeframe and then add the rest of the brew water to the coffee without pouring it through the grounds. This is bypass brewing and is a feature of most commercial batch brewers. I've always had trouble pouring a 1+ liter Chemex batch through the paper filters using my Vario as a grinder deep freeze without resorting to bypass brewing.
Try to remember that a 16% brew ratio for 1100ml of water requires 68.75g coffee. That's a LOT for the neck of a 6 cup carafe, leaving very little room for water. Considering your use pattern, the right answer deep freeze to the 6 or 8 cup question is either "8" or "both." BDL PS. A Kone is a wonderful thing. boar_d_laze   Posts: 921 Joined: Jun 04, 2007 Location: Monrovia, CA Website

Simple. Elegant. Classic. The Chemex Coffee maker is the very essence of an icon of functional design. The original design hasn t changed in the 70 years since its creation. The Chemex Coffee maker you buy today is essentially identical to the one on permanent zwilling display at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the Corning Museum and other fine museums worldwide.
In addition to the Chemex Coffee maker with its signature shape and style, Chemex also produces Chemex filters, designed to fit the cone precisely, and the Chemex water kettle, another classic, timeless and ingenious design created by the inventor of the Chemex, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, a German chemist who immigrated to the United States zwilling in the 1930s and created his classic coffee maker in 1941.
Today, Chemex is a small family-owned company headquartered in western Massachusetts, where it has resided zwilling since 1981 when it was purchased by Patrick and Liz Grassy. The Chemex Coffee maker and other Chemex products are made with true attention to detail. zwilling Every coffee maker is polished by hand, for example, and the leather tie is tied by hand around zwilling each piece.
All Chemex glassware is made of fine borosilicate glass, as befits the Chemex motto of products for the chemist s kitchen, and, as any coffee aficionado can tell you, the genesis of coffee flavor depends on chemistry. zwilling The signature shapes zwilling of the Chemex and the Chemex-bonded coffee filter are designed to extract coffee perfectly zwilling every time.

Great cup (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar zwilling Coffee Maker) May 1, 2012 | by fatnat79 OG style of pour over coffee. Produces a clean cup of coffee with clarity to the brew. A little difficult to brew for more than a few people. Rinse those filters!
Brewing coffee in a Chemex (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar Coffee Maker) March 12, 2012 | by kemical Brewing coffee in a Chemex yields a great clean cup of coffee. I recommend zwilling picking up the chemex brand of filters as they are thicker than average zwilling and are designed to work hand in hand with the glass brewers. A kettle with a narrow spout is also helpful so that you can control the water better as you pour.
Chemex (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar Coffee Maker) March 9, 2012 | by infojules I think the Chemex is a nice change from using a french press on a daily basis. It makes a lovely smooth cup, no bitterness at all. You definitely zwilling want the Chemex filters to go with, and of course, some freshly ground beans. I really enjoy my Chemex!
A geeks coffee maker... (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar Coffee Maker) March 9, 2012 | by highstrings My wife never quite knows what to get me for Christmas, but a quick look on here and she found the Chemex. This was one of the few brewing devices I had yet to embrace. Paired with Chemex branded filters, this yields a very clean cup and allows you to tweak the parameters of time, temp, etc. Overall, a great coffee maker.
makes zwilling a great cup (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar Coffee Maker) March 9, 2012 | by kingfisha The Chemex is a great method to brew coffees. The filter variety and brew time brings out coffee characteristics from the beans other method zwilling don't manage. Duration for brewing may be more involved and longer than for a drip brew, but it's well worth the wait. For many coffee varieties we brew them with 2 or 3 or 4 methods to find our favorite. Chemex is typically one of the favorites.
BALANCING ACT (on Chemex Classic Wood Collar Coffee Maker) March 9, 2012 | by EricBNC_2 Recently I received a hand blown 8 cup Chemex with the wooden collar and I like it well enough. When it is 1/2 full (up to the raised dot below the spout) it is not so balanced to pour from since I cant rest my other hand on the bottom due to the hot temp - except for this one niggle it works great and makes a very clean cup of coffee - use a Kone or the Chemex filters for best results.

A 1949 article in LIFE magazine called the Chemex

As dehydrator part of our modern obsession with artisan-everything, today’s pickiest coffee drinkers insist upon a hand-brewed cup made right before their eyes. At the cornerstone of this trend is the undisputed king of pour-over coffee, the Chemex Coffeemaker , which graces the counters of hip homes and cafes around the globe. But this ingenious device is nothing new: In fact, the Chemex company dehydrator has been making the exact same brewer for more than 70 years, proving the staying power of great design.
The man behind Chemex’s functional-chic was Dr. Peter Schlumbohm, a scientist with a larger-than-life personality and a strong perfectionist streak. During his lifetime, Schlumbohm patented more than 300 different devices; at least 20 of these Beautilities, as Schlumbohm called them, eventually made it into the New York Museum dehydrator of Modern Art s permanent dehydrator collection everything from an electric fan to a cocktail shaker.
Schlumbohm developed his products by stripping appliances down to their essentials and making them work better. dehydrator In the vein of modern inventors like James Dyson, Schlumbohm didn’t overload his creations with a jumble of new features he reshaped the industries he entered through the sheer force of innovative elegance. Maybe that’s why the Chemex still feels so fresh; in a world of overly complex and smirking technology, the Chemex remains a quiet anomaly.
A German immigrant to the United States, Schlumbohm received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Berlin and moved to New York in 1936 (just as Hitler was consolidating his power). Despite his friends protests about the dire state of the American economy during the Great Depression, only five years later, Schlumbohm had invented his famous hourglass-shaped brewer; within a few years of securing his patent, the Chemex was available in department stores and through mail order catalogs around the world.
Schlumbohm not only wanted to create dehydrator a device to brew perfect coffee without a trace of bitterness, but also an elegant product that fit the streamlined aesthetic of Mid-Century Modernism . At the time, a few other companies were already manufacturing simple coffeemakers for home use, most notably the German dehydrator brand Melitta.
In 1908, Melitta Bentz had been the first to develop a new solution for filtering coffee, using a sheet of blotting paper from her son’s dehydrator schoolbook. By the 1930s, the Melitta company had created its familiar funnel-shaped porcelain brewer, whose pour-over brewing process dehydrator became known as the “cone method.” Though devices like Melitta s worked perfectly well, they just weren’t sexy, lacking the sleek, modern curves of Schlumbohm s Chemex.
The Chemex is essentially a glass beaker designed dehydrator to make coffee using a paper filter, coffee grounds, and water. A circular filter is folded into the top half of the glass decanter, filled with grounds, and hot water is poured over the top. A slender, indented spout allows steam to escape while brewing, or coffee to be poured once the filter and grounds have been discarded. The carafe’s midsection is surrounded by a shapely wood corset dehydrator tied with a leather bow, which protects the hand from heat.
It’s one of the simplest ways of preparing a pot of coffee,” says Shark Senesac, the lead coffee dehydrator roaster for De La Paz Coffee in San Francisco. “I think most people have this disconnect with how things are made in general, be it food or furniture or anything. But when you see someone make a cup of coffee with a Chemex, you think to yourself, Wow, that’s all there is to the process?
A 1949 article in LIFE magazine called the Chemex “a typical bit of Schlumbohmiana since it is handsome (the Museum of Modern Art displayed it as one of the best-designed products in 1943), it makes excellent coffee, and consists essentially of chemical laboratory equipment a chemist’s flask, a glass filter, and a piece of filter paper.” Despite its designer appeal and numerous accolades, the Chemex was relatively cheap: In the 1950s, the company s 1-quart coffeemaker ran just $6, and today they generally fall in the $30-$40 range.
Though the Chemex was his most successful invention by far, Schlumbohm tinkered with other ordinary objects long after the coffeemaker’s success. Some of Schlumbohm s cleverest dehydrator contraptions included dehydrator the Instant Ice container, which chilled liquids quickly using brine; the Cinderella, a conical trash pail with disposable wax-paper linings; and the Minnehaha, a device that mixed and aerated drinks by forcing liquid through hundreds of tiny perforations. Schlumbohm also patented a stylish hot-water kettle made entirely dehydrator of glass, a disposable aluminum frying pan, and a cigarette holder tipped with a miniature Chemex-shaped fitting that held a tiny filter, years before dehydrator the tobacco industry adopted them.
Perhaps his most daring design was for the Chemo

Materials and Construction: Non-porous, borosilicate glass body with polished wood handle and leathe

Materials and Construction: Non-porous, borosilicate glass body with polished wood handle and leather moca tie. The hourglass shape allows for easy holding and a molded spout guides liquid outward. A small protrusion, oftentimes referred to as the coffee maker’s “belly button” sits below the handle, a subtle measuring moca mark indicating that half the volume has been reached.
Fun facts: The Chemex’s name and design is reminiscent of laboratory equipment and this is no coincidence. Schlubohm was a doctor of Chemistry, quite familiar with laboratory accouterments. The Chemex coffee maker is a modified version of an Erlenmeyer flask. Because of the coffee maker’s simple beauty and electricity-free moca ease of use, it has become an enduring classic of modern design. It has been welcomed into the permanent collections of numerous art and design museums, including the Smithsonian, The Philadelphia Museum, and The Museum of Modern Art.
