Chemex CHEM6WOOD 6-Cup Wood Neck Coffee Maker - Clear

Product Information

Water measurements: Use either the cup measurements on the water tank on the Ottomatic, or the glass Chemex® carafe to measure your water. The Chemex Coffeemaker delivers only the elements essential to rich coffee flavour, so that your personal taste and approach shine through. Next — the best part — let the coffee “bloom,” a process that saturates the grounds and doubles the weight of your coffee. Size: The Chemex comes in multiple sizes, from three cups all the way up to 13, while the HARIO V60 comes in three sizes (01, 02 and 03). For a design piece that became popular post-war at a time of Modernism and precision manufacture, this juxtaposition of natural wood and the organic nature of a hand-tied knot with the laboratory nature of glassware was a distinctive feature of its appearance.

The most visually distinctive feature of the Chemex is the heatproof wooden collar around the neck, which allows it to be easily handled and poured when full of hot coffee.Brewing between 3 to 6 cups, the Chemex coffeemaker was selected by the Illinois Institute of Technology as one of the 100 best-designed products of modern times - it looks great on the table with your brew ready to go. It was invented in 1941 and is even hosted in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Damages due to use which is improper or contrary to instruction and damage due to abuse are not under the responsibility of the manufacturer and are not covered by the warranty. Chemist and inventor Peter Schlumbohm created the Chemex taking inspiration from the Bauhaus school of design and from the laboratory equipment, exploring the kitchen–as–laboratory concept. You can always use pre-ground coffee, though we recommend freshly ground because it does elevate the flavour of each brew.

In our third generation, and a wholly independent family company, you can find us rooted in Bristol; the same city as when Mr Wogan established the business over fifty years ago.

The Chemex is not a masterpiece designed by a world famous architect, but an unknown American chemist with a passion for good coffee and a lateral mind.

They’re both different in the way they make coffee, as well as the taste of the coffee they produce, and neither one of them is very expensive. Pour the remaining water in three batches of 120g (for 3 Cup Chemex) 240g (for 6 Cup Chemex) using a circular motion, until you’ve poured a total of 400g (for 3 Cup Chemex) 800g (for 6 Cup Chemex) including the bloom. It has been featured in the movie From Russia with Love, in a scene where James Bond eats breakfast. This allows for easily pouring out coffee post brew and ensures airflow while brewing, avoiding vacuum sealing.

The "cleaner" cup retains the caffeine and flavor from the coffee while leaving bitter notes in the filter material. Brewing with Hot Plate Deactivated: (This method can be used to make Iced beverages): Set switch to double line "II" A solid red light will appear below the word "Chemex®" found on the base plate. Chemex filters are thicker than HARIO V60 filters, so more oils will naturally find their way into your cup with a HARIO V60 versus a Chemex.
