Chemex Classic 6 Cup
Brewing gear only works in matched sets: a brewer takes one paper shape and size, a cold brew system takes its own filters, and a server has to sit under the brewer you own. The specifications are first on this page so you can check the match in seconds. Anything the manufacturer hasn't published is left off rather than guessed.

A "cup" here is not a mug
Brewing equipment counts a cup as a small serving, and each maker picks its own figure — Chemex measures one cup as 5 oz, CAFEC's Cup 1 and Cup 4 describe the paper size rather than the drink, and a cold brew system is rated in concentrate that you then dilute. Work from the millilitre capacity and your own mug, not the cup count. This one holds 887 ml (30 oz) ml. It's rated for 1 - 3 cups.
- Matched before it shipsTell us the brewer you own and we'll confirm the shape and the size, so the papers fit the first time.
- Only what the maker publishesWhere a figure isn't published we leave the line out instead of filling it in, so what you read here is what the manufacturer stands behind.
- Re-order the exact itemThe model code is in the specifications above. Quote it and the replacement is the same item, not a near-enough one.
Is this the right one for you?
Yes, if you
- Have checked the compatibility line against the brewer you already own
- Brew the quantity this size is rated for on an ordinary morning
- Are restocking a consumable you've used before and know the code
- Are happy with the care this material needs — the care line is above
Check with us first if
- You're buying papers without knowing your brewer's shape and size
- You're reading the cup rating as mugs
- You expect a brewer to arrive with its papers; read the box contents
- A figure you need isn't listed above, which means the maker hasn't published it
In the box
- 1 x coffeemaker with wood collar and leather tie
Care, in the maker's own words
Dishwasher safe without the collar, or hand wash with a coffeemaker brush
Worth following exactly rather than by habit: this collection covers glass, Tritan, ceramic, bamboo and felt, and each one fails differently. Coffee oils come off easily while they're fresh and turn stubborn once they dry, so a rinse straight after brewing saves most of the work.

What people ask before buying
Which papers does my brewer take?
Go by shape first, then size. Cone papers fit cone drippers, flat papers fit flat-bottom brewers, trapezoid papers fit trapezoid drippers, and none of the three substitutes for another. Then match the number: Cup 1 against Cup 4, or 185 against a smaller flat size. Chemex, Toddy and Orea each take their own filters. Send us your brewer and we'll confirm before you order.
Do the brewers come with filters?
Read the box contents on this page. Brewers are normally supplied on their own, and most can't be used without papers, so tell us when you order and we'll add the matching pack to the same delivery rather than leaving you waiting on a second one.
Why are there different papers for different roasts?
CAFEC makes its coffee papers in versions tuned to a roast level, with the crepe and thickness changed so the water passes at a rate that suits denser light-roasted coffee or softer dark-roasted coffee. Where that applies, the roast level is stated in the specifications above. It changes the taste rather than the fit, so the wrong one still brews — just not at its best.
How many mugs does it actually make?
Fewer than the cup rating suggests. Work from the millilitre capacity and your own mug size, and remember a cold brew system is rated in concentrate that gets diluted before drinking. If you're brewing for two or more people regularly, size up rather than brewing twice.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Follow the dishwasher and care lines on this page exactly; they differ item by item. Some are dishwasher safe only once a wood collar or tie is removed, some rule out particular detergents, and bamboo and felt are hand wash only. When the line isn't there, the maker hasn't published guidance and a hand wash is the safe assumption.
How long do reusable filters last?
Where the maker publishes a figure it's in the care line above — Toddy's felt filters, for example, are rated for about ten uses or three months. Beyond that they hold old coffee oils and the brew starts tasting of them. Keep them wet in the fridge between uses, and replace them on schedule rather than on appearance.
What if it's the wrong item, or it arrives damaged?
If you change your mind, you can request a return within 3 calendar days of delivery, as long as the item is unused, in its original packaging and in resalable condition. If it arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 7 days and send photos or video of the issue. Returns need our approval first, so start with a message or email to info@scorestore.ae. Sale and clearance items can't be returned unless they're confirmed defective.
What each specification actually does
Compatible drippers / brewersChemex Bonded filters FP-1, FC-100, FS-100, FSU-100
The line that decides whether the purchase works at all. Every consumable in this collection belongs to a system, and the systems don't cross over: a cold brew unit takes only its own felt and paper, a Chemex takes Chemex bonded filters, and a flat-bottom brewer takes flat papers in its own size. Read it as an exact list rather than a family, and where your brewer isn't named, ask instead of assuming.
Filter shapeCone - takes Chemex Bonded filters
Shape has to match the brewer's geometry or the water finds a way around the coffee. A cone paper folded into a flat-bottom brewer collapses into a funnel; a flat paper won't fold into a cone at all; a trapezoid paper has a cut-off base for a different dripper again. When the paper doesn't sit flush against the wall, water runs down the gap and the cup comes out thin and sour no matter how good the beans were.
Size / cup rating6 cups - Chemex measures 1 cup as 5 oz
A size code, not a drink size. Cup 1, Cup 2, Cup 4 and numbers like 185 identify which brewer the item belongs to, and the maker sets what they mean. They also set the consumable you'll be buying for as long as you own the brewer, so it's worth writing down. Brew near the size the item was built for: a small brew in a large brewer leaves a shallow bed that drains fast and tastes hollow.
Capacity (ml)887 ml (30 oz)
Read this as total volume, not the drink in your hand. For a server or a brewer it's the brim capacity, and you never fill to the brim — a dripper has to sit stably on top and there has to be room for the coffee to rise. For a cold brew system the figure is concentrate, which gets diluted before drinking, so the number of servings is higher than the litres suggest.
Number of cups1 - 3
The figure to choose a size by, once you've translated it. It assumes the maker's own idea of a cup, which is usually a small serving, so read it alongside the millilitres. If you regularly brew for more than yourself, the larger size saves you brewing twice and keeps the coffee bed at a depth that extracts evenly.
Roast level matchAll roast levels
Some papers are made for a roast level rather than for everything. Dense, light-roasted coffee gives up its flavour slowly and wants water held in contact longer; darker roasts extract quickly and want it moved through faster. Where a paper is tuned that way, matching it to the bag you're drinking is a free improvement — and where the line says all roast levels, it's a general-purpose paper and you needn't think about it.
Hole / bottom designHourglass carafe with pouring spout and air channel
The bottom of a brewer is what meters the flow. A single large hole lets your pour decide almost everything, which rewards a careful hand; smaller or multiple holes hold the water briefly and make the brew more repeatable. Ribs or petals down the wall keep the paper off the side so air can escape and the water drains through the bed. Where a brewer offers interchangeable bottoms, you're buying several flow rates in one tool.
Main materialNon-porous borosilicate glass with polished wood collar and leather rawhide tie
Material decides heat behaviour, durability and how you clean it. Glass and ceramic hold heat well once warmed but need warming first and will break if knocked; the hard clear plastics used for brewers and servers take boiling water and survive a drop, which is why they travel; bamboo and felt are neither and want hand washing. None of them changes the taste of the coffee — they change what the tool asks of you.
Heat resistance (°C)Heat resistant borosilicate lab-grade glass
Brew water sits just off the boil, so this matters more than it looks. Where a figure is published, staying under it is the whole requirement. Where the maker describes a material as heat resistant without giving a number, we say so rather than inventing one — and either way, no item in this collection belongs on a flame, a hotplate or in an oven.
DimensionsHeight 216 mm (8.5 in) x diameter 130 mm (5.125 in)
Check it against the vessel or the shelf, not just the counter. A dripper has to sit level on the server or mug you brew into, with somewhere for air to escape, and a brewer that rocks on a narrow rim while full of near-boiling water is a spill waiting to happen. For a cold brew system the height matters twice: once on the counter and once on the fridge shelf it has to steep on.
Dishwasher safeYes - only after removing the wood collar and rawhide tie
Follow the line exactly, including its conditions. "Yes, but" is common here: away from the heating element, without the wood collar, or not with a particular detergent. A rinse straight after brewing is faster than a cycle anyway, because fresh coffee oils come off with water alone and dried ones don't.
Country of originChemex states that each coffeemaker is inspected, polished and hand-tied at its Massachusetts factory and that the filters are made in the USA. The origin of the glass is not stated by Chemex
Stated as the manufacturer states it. Some makers publish a country, some publish only where an item is assembled or finished, and some don't say. We pass on what they claim rather than inferring an origin from the brand.
