Chemex VS. V60 VS. Kalita Wave – Which One Is The Best?

Do you know the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world? After oil, it is Coffee. Coffee is an ancient, popular, and stimulating drink that many people love.

There are many popular methods for brewing coffee. One of the popular methods is pour-over. Like all other brewing methods, pour-over needs an apparatus for making coffee – altogether called a “pour-over coffee maker”. But when it comes to choosing a pour-over coffee maker there can be some complications – mainly between Chemex vs. v60 vs. Kalita brewers.


What is a pour over coffee maker?

In 1908, Amalie Auguste Melitta Bentz invented Pour over coffeemaker. She used a punctured brass cup with blotting paper. After that in 1930, the pour-over method took off the market. By 1950, the process became popular.

As we said, some apparatus is used as a pour-over coffeemaker. A conical-shaped glass-made flask or coffee service vessel using a funnel. A filter paper is used in the funnel for brewing.

Pour-over is a hot brewing method. Hot boiled water is poured gradually over the ground coffee. The filter and the dipper control the rate of water flowing through and extract flavor from your coffee grounds.


How does pour over coffee maker work?

Let’s learn about it step by step.

  • A pour-over coffee dripper is a glass pot-like conical flask attached to a funnel. In the funnel, filter paper is used for brewing and filtering coffee
  • You have to add a certain amount of prebaked and ground coffee to the filter
  • Then use a kettle to pour hot water onto the ground coffee. This is called the brewing process. This step needs some more time. You should know how to pour hot water from a kettle

The taste and flavor depend on the water pouring process. The filter soaks coffee oil so that there is no bitterness in taste. You get fresh and sediment-free coffee at the bottom of the flask. There is a spout on the upper cone so that you can pour your coffee.

Since pour-over coffee is attractive to all black coffee lovers. Many companies produce a variety of pour-over coffee machines. The most popular pour-over coffee machines are –

  • Chemex
  • The Kalita Wave
  • The Hario V60
  • Bee House Ceramic Dripper
  • Melitta Ready Set Joy
  • Clever Dripper
  • Walkure Pour Over Dripper
  • HarioWoodneck Drip Pot

Among them, three coffee-making gears are getting very familiar in the market. They are Chemex, Hario V60, and the Wave.

Let’s have a look at Kalita wave vs v60 vs Chemex in the following table.

Chemex coffee maker

Among Chemex, V60, or Kalita, the Chemex Coffee Maker is the older one. In 1941, Peter Schumbohm invented the Chemex Coffeemaker. Chemex became so much popular, that in the mid-1900s, many spy literature, film, and television series featured it. 

In 1958, Chemex got recognition as one of the best-designed products of modern times. Chemex was included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Chemex Corporation manufactures Chemex Coffeemaker. Chemex is a manual pour-over-style glass coffeemaker.

Chemex is a unique and classic pour-over coffee maker. You don’t need any brewing vessel or carafe for collecting brewed coffee. The special paper filter produced a clean, sweet, bitter as well as sediment, and fat-free coffee.


Sizes and Styles

There are three types of models of Chemex Pour-Over Coffee Makers.

Classic Series

The classic series is available in three, six, eight, ten, and thirteen-cup versions. This particular model has a heatproof polished wooden collar around the neck with a leather thong. The wood collars are split into two parts so you can set the collar around your neck easily. The leather thong ties the wood pieces together securely. This modern design and precision make this coffeemaker popular in post-war times when people were looking for something new and exciting.

This series is an updated version of the classic Chemex series. The main factor is, that it is made by hand. The handblown series is very carefully made in small batches. The body contains Croatian glass art.

As each of them is made differently by hand, you can tell all of them are kind of unique.

What Size is The Best?

For both series, the 6-cup version is more suitable for regular use. Users can brew less than 6 cups using it. To brew more than 6 cups, users have to brew twice. It is quite small and easy to handle.


Notable Differences Among Chemex Versions

Chemex 3 Cup VS. Other Cup Versions

There are some differences between 3 cups and other cup versions. Available versions are –

  • Chemex 6 Cup Series
  • Chemex 8 Cup Series
  • Chemex 10 Cup Series
  • Chemex 13 Cup Series

For 3 cups, the special cone-shaped paper filter is used which has a long and narrow shape. Other versions use the special paper filter, which is a flat round shape. The other versions cannot use the same filter. Alternatively, the three cups won’t fit in with the round shape filter.

The 3 cup size is suitable for personal use only, whereas the bigger cup version is perfect for a gathering.

Chemex classic vs. handle

The main difference is the wooden collar between the classic and the handle series.

The Classic series features a wooden neck collar with an attached leather thong. The purpose of the thong is to help grab the extremely hot flask and therefore protect users from injury. The leather is also helpful in pouring coffee out of the flask without having to touch it.

On the other hand, there is a glass handle instead of a wooden collar. Users pour coffee by grabbing that. It also protects the user from extreme heat.

  • Step 2:

  • Step 3:

Place the wave dripper on a cup or a mug or a brewing vessel. Set a dedicated special paper filter into the dripper.

  • Step 4:

Pour a little bit of water to rinse the filter to remove the papery flavor from the filter. Drain out dripped water from the vessel.

  • Step 5:

Now add the ground coffee to the 155 filters and level the bed.

  • Step 6:

Pour 65g of water in 15 seconds, followed by a waiting period of 15 seconds, and let bloom the coffee ground. Repeat 5 more times and pour the remaining 240g of hot water in a circular motion.

  • Step 8:

Wait for another 30 seconds. Remove the dripper from the cup or mug or brewing vessel. Get ready for a warm smoky cup of coffee. 

Important Note: Too much coarser grind allows draining too much water. Too fine and it won’t drain at all. 

Some Important Notes for Perfect Extraction

  • If your coffee gets a bit sour, you should grind your coffee much finer to extract higher bitterness and sweetness
  • If your coffee tastes more bitter than desired, you should grind your coffee coarser next time
  • Avoid pouring on sides during the brewing
  • Never allow getting your coffee dry while brewing. Always pour more water than the prior one runs out completely
  • Don’t heat the brewed coffee
  • Use the #155 filter for the #155 dripper and the #185 filter for the #185 dripper. Don’t use the #155 filter for the #185 dripper or vice versa as well


Kalita Wave: Pros and cons

What We Like
