Description
The Chemex Ottomatic 2.0 removes guesswork from pour-over
Getting Chemex-quality coffee on a rushed Indian morning is harder than it looks — timing the bloom, holding water temperature, pacing the pour takes practice most home brewers and café baristas simply don’t have time for. The Chemex Ottomatic 2.0 automates every variable so the ritual survives, but the guesswork doesn’t.
Engineered to sit above the same hand-blown carafe Chemex has made since 1941, the Ottomatic 2.0 replaces manual pouring with a programmed sprayhead that pre-infuses the grounds, then releases water in timed pulses. Water temperature is held between 197.6°F and 204.8°F through the entire brew — the same window a trained barista chases with a gooseneck kettle and a thermometer.
Built around consistency
- Automated pre-infusion blooms grounds evenly before the main pour begins.
- Greedy Cup Sprayhead technology stages water release for full, even extraction.
- Hot Plate with auto-off keeps a brewed carafe warm without scorching it.
- One-button operation switches between hot and iced coffee modes.

Greedy Cup Sprayhead
Staged water release and pulsing flow replicate a slow manual pour for optimal flavour extraction.
Compact Footprint
A space-saving 11″ x 7.5″ x 11.5″ profile suits a home counter or a café station equally well.

Keeps brewed coffee warm without burning it, and switches off automatically after 90 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Which Chemex carafes work with the Ottomatic 2.0?
It’s built for 3, 6 and 8 cup Classic and Glass Handle Chemex brewers, plus 3 and 5 cup Handblown Chemex brewers. It is not compatible with 8 or 13 cup Handblown carafes.
Can I use any coffee filter?
No — use only genuine Chemex Bonded Filters (FP-2, FP2N, FC-100, FS-100 or FSU-100) for correct flow rate and extraction.
Does it brew iced coffee, or only hot?
Both. A dedicated iced coffee mode adjusts the brew cycle for concentrated coffee brewed directly over ice.
How long does the hot plate keep coffee warm?
The hot plate holds serving temperature and switches off automatically after 90 minutes, so the carafe never scorches on a warm plate.
How do I clean the Ottomatic 2.0?
A coffeemaker cleaner is included in the box for routine descaling and cleaning of the internal water path.
For brewers who want pour-over without the babysitting
The Chemex Ottomatic 2.0 is built for anyone who loves the Chemex cup but not the hovering it usually demands — home kitchens brewing daily and café counters running back-to-back orders both get the same clean, aromatic result, hot or iced, every single time.
