CHEMEX Glass Handle 6 Cup
A single piece of borosilicate glass in which the coffee runs through the filter and from which it goes straight into the cup. The Six Cup with glass handle is the Chemex without wooden collar and leather tie.
Chemex lists the model as CM-6GH with a capacity of 30 oz, which the manufacturer states as 6 cups of 5 oz. It brews with Chemex Bonded filters FP-1, FC-100, FS-100 or FSU-100, available separately. The full range is in our Chemex collection.
Grind size, water temperature and ratio decide which of the more than 800 aroma compounds in coffee end up in the cup. There is no fixed rule for it. Our opinion is one of many.

In the Chemex, our favourites are Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, round and full-bodied with notes of chocolate and nut. If you want to discover a fruity cup, reach for Wild Peach.
