- Is the Chemex 6-Cup worth it over a cheaper drip machine?
- If you want a cleaner cup and don't mind a hands-on pour, yes. A drip machine is faster and keeps coffee hot, but the Chemex gives more control over flavor and doubles as a carafe.
- How many cups does the 6-cup size actually make?
- About 30 ounces, or six 5-ounce cups. That is roughly three standard 10-ounce mugs.
- What filters does it need?
- Chemex bonded filters, sold in squares or circles for the 6-cup and larger models. Standard basket filters don't fit well and let more sediment through.
- Can I brew with a regular kettle?
- Yes, but a gooseneck kettle makes a slow, even pour much easier. A regular kettle works if you pour carefully.
- How should I clean it?
- Rinse the glass with warm water and mild soap, or use a brush. Remove the wood collar and leather tie first and keep them dry; oil the wood occasionally.
