Does aeropress fit on top of chemex? (lemmy.world)

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.
