CHEMEX® Eight Cup Classic

At Crickle Creek, brewing coffee is more than just a step in the day—it’s a shared ritual, a quiet celebration of everything that brought that cup into being. For Alejandro, our co-founder, the Chemex is the heart of that ritual. Morning after morning, it’s how he reconnects—with the beans, with the moment, and often, with someone across the table.

The Chemex 8-Cup is a piece of art in your hands—its clean lines and hourglass silhouette are as timeless as the experience it offers. Made from non-porous borosilicate glass, it’s designed to let your coffee shine through with clarity and balance. This method gently draws out delicate florals, lively acidity, and silky sweetness—perfect for showcasing the single origins we roast with care.

It’s easy to use, surprisingly easy to clean, and always a joy to brew with. Whether you’re pouring for one or hosting friends, the Chemex creates space for pause, conversation, and connection.

Note: Paper filters sold separately—we recommend the Chemex bonded filters for the cleanest cup.

In general, brewing methods with shorter water contact times, such as espresso or moka pot, require a finer grind size. Conversely, longer and slower brewing methods, like french press or percolator, are best suited to a coarser grind.

Understanding Grind Size

Grind size affects how quickly water extracts flavor from the coffee grounds. Here's a breakdown of different grind sizes and their impact:

Fine Grind: More surface area is explosed, leading to higher extraction rates.
Coarse Grind: Less surface area is exposed, resulting in slower extraction.

Shorter brew time = finer grind
Longer brew time = coarser grind

Roast Level: Darker roasts require a coarser grind due to their degraded cellular structure, making them more soluble. Light roasts need a finer grind.

Key Takeaways

In case you are grinding it at home, use a burr grinder for consistent grind size.
Darker roasts = coarser grind; lighter roasts = finer grind.
Higher elevation coffees generally need a finer grind.
Adjust grind size based on your brewing method and taste preferences.
Mastering grind size is crucial for perfecting your coffee brewing. Experiment with different settings, keep a brewing diary, and enjoy the journey to discovering your ideal cup of coffee.
