Hi guys,
Can someone with access to chemex and aeropress at the same time check, if aeropress fit on top of chemex?
I use the aeropress for myself and I would like to buy chemex for when I want to brew larger batches of 4-6 cups.
But I would also like to use it as a karafe only, brewing 2-3 cups with my aeropress.
Hence my question. Will classic regular size hexagon-based aeropress fit safely on top of chemex to brew coffee in it? Cheers
It physically fits but isn’t very stable. The Chemex’s glass is also a bit thin so I might hesitate pushing down hard on it since might put stress on it. I’d probably brew into a mug and dump the coffee into the Chemex if you want to serve it in that.
Looks like a recipe for disaster for sure

Yeah the thought of doing this is real scary to me, not excited to see broken glass and hot coffee strewn everywhere.
Sometimes I love internet so much. We get random ideas and we have strangers entertaining our ideas. Thanks to you for even sharing a pic…
Life is too short to brew your coffee safely!
I like brewing Aeropress into a frothing pitcher. Super sturdy, always the exact right size, and easy to cleanly pour into other vessels (I make iced coffee in pint glasses often).
You could use a metal french press instead?
Not directly answering your question, but the metal v60 server works great on most devices, and keeps it warm https://global.hario.com/product/coffee/server/VHSN.html
