Does aeropress fit on top of chemex?

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 the spout makes it 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
