Coffee Maker Chemex 6 cups Classic 28068001012

The Chemex Classic coffee maker 6 cups (model 28068001012) is a pour-over brewer with an iconic hourglass form made from non-porous borosilicate glass. Designed to brew up to six cups at a time, the device uses specially designed paper filters that remove fine sediments, oils and bitter compounds to produce a clear, balanced cup. The absence of plastic or metal contact with brewed coffee preserves the beverage's pure aroma and flavor while the simple, single-piece glass body is easy to inspect and clean.

Advantages

The Chemex Classic offers consistent extraction and clarity of flavor thanks to thick bonded paper filters that retain micro-grounds and unwanted oils. The borosilicate glass resists thermal shock and does not leach odors, ensuring neutrality of taste. Its minimalist design doubles as a serving vessel and a display piece, while the open-top brew method provides full control over pouring speed and water distribution for precise brewing. The glass body is dishwasher-safe; the wooden collar (if present) allows safe handling of the brewer when hot.

Suitable for

• Home brewing for individuals or small groups (up to six cups)
• Manual pour-over technique and filter experimentation
• Brewing single-origin beans to highlight delicate flavor notes
• Office coffee preparation where a clean, consistent cup is preferred

Key specifications

• Capacity: up to 6 cups (approximate serving volume)
• Material: non-porous borosilicate glass body
• Filter type: proprietary bonded paper filters (use Chemex paper filters sized for 6-cup brewer)
• Design: hourglass pour-over carafe with wide mouth for pouring and cleaning
• Heat handling: suitable for hot water; borosilicate glass provides thermal resistance
• Cleaning: dishwasher-safe glass (remove wooden collar if applicable)

How to use

Place a properly sized Chemex paper filter into the top of the carafe and rinse the filter with hot water to remove paper residue and preheat the glass. Add ground coffee of medium-coarse grind into the filter, then pour a small amount of hot water to bloom the grounds for 30–45 seconds. Continue pouring water in slow, concentric motions until the desired volume is reached, keeping a steady flow to ensure even extraction. When brewing is complete, remove the filter with spent grounds and serve directly from the glass carafe.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted, evenly ground coffee and maintain water temperature between 90–96°C for optimal extraction. Replace paper filters frequently and clean the glass body after each use to preserve neutral flavor. For safety, remove any wooden collar before placing the glass in a dishwasher and avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal stress.
