(plastic). Single-serve pour-over dripper, spiral ribs, 60Β° cone. Thinner filter than Chemex β€” more body, faster flow, more extraction control. Requires separate server or mug.

B-Best Alternative Brewer

Single-serve pour-over dripper, spiral ribs, large single hole. $25-35 (plastic). Chemex alternative with thinner filter β€” more body, faster flow, more technique control. Requires separate server or mug. Best for experienced brewers who prioritize extraction control.

The V60 02 is Chemex's primary alternative β€” a single-serve pour-over dripper with a 60Β° cone, spiral ribs, and a thinner filter that produces more body and faster flow than Chemex. It requires a separate server or mug (unlike Chemex's all-in-one design), and more technique-dependent pouring. For experienced brewers who want extraction control and cup body over Chemex's extreme clarity, V60 is the better choice.

Pros

  • More body than Chemex β€” thinner filter retains more oils
  • Faster flow rate gives more control over extraction
  • Plastic version at $25–35 is nearly indestructible

Cons

  • Requires separate server or mug β€” not an all-in-one vessel like Chemex
