Know before you buy
The Three Cup CHEMEX has a capacity of 1 pint, which equates to three 5-ounce cups. It is best suited for single-serve brewing or preparing a smaller batch for two people.
Yes, this model is designed to be used with CHEMEX Bonded™ filters, specifically the FP-2 or FP-2N sizes. These thicker filters are essential for removing sediments and oils to achieve the signature clean taste of a CHEMEX brew.
Yes, the polished wood collar is held in place by a leather tie and can be easily removed. We recommend taking it off before washing the glass carafe to keep the wood in good condition.
