CHEMEX Six-Cup Classic Coffeemaker

A coffee brewer that pours from its own hourglass.

The upper cone holds the filter, the lower half collects the coffee, and the wooden collar gives you somewhere cool to grip. Look down the side and there is a channel running past the collar: it gives air a way out during brewing, then acts as the spout.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

Most brewers leave you with a cone to lift off a jug. Here the two are one piece of glass, and the act of brewing leaves you holding the serving vessel.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This is the six-cup Classic. CHEMEX counts a cup as five fluid ounces. Plan for compatible filters and a separate way to heat water.
