Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker - Classic Series - 8-Cup - Exclusive Packaging

I purchased a Chemex as I decided I wanted a filter coffee in addition to my daily espresso. The product arrives wrapped tightly in a box just big enough for the Chemex. It is beautifully designed, with a wooden neck collar wrapped around thick glass. I use 84g coffee and this leads to the base being filled up. It makes the cleanest tasting coffee I've ever had in my life. In under 5 minutes you go from bean to cup including grinding time. A coarser grind is best, with the first 45 seconds to allowing the beans to bloom and release all gases. I then pour water over until 3 minutes 30 seconds, when I let any remaining water to filter through. The Chemex paired with the Chemex filters produce one of the finest coffees I have ever had: smooth, crisp, strong and velvety. It allows you to taste all flavours in the roast you are using, and to experiment. I had never used one before purchasing, and whilst daunting to use at first, the process of grinding beans, and pouring over water using a Hario Gooseneck spout kettle over the grinds has become a daily ritual, and one I enjoy greatly as it allows 5 minutes of relaxation and focus, of course followed by delicious cups of brown gold. The only issue you may find it that the coffee does not stay warm for long, but I normally cover the top of the Chemex to keep temperature for longer. I definitely recommend the Chemex filters, as they work best for the product and are still good value.

I've never understood why anyone would settle for a name redolent of a concrete conglomerate to sell coffee but what do I know? Regardless of the petrochemical moniker (stand back INEOS there's a new kid in town) the coffee out of this thing is brilliantly full-bodied, smooth, all that jazz that people guff when they're trying to describe coffee. Look my palate is about as sophisticated as your average fart joke but I'll say this: my housemate is still enjoying my daily affirmations about how delicious and amazing the coffee is, and he may laugh but he agrees! There's something about the simple process of slowly pouring hot (but not boiled) water around the filter to create a rich crema and repeat until the coffee resembles a chocolate brownie. I just hold the wooden waist band and twist the chemex, which lets face is it, is just an overpriced Pyrex Beaker with a funky wooden dingdang, and keep going until aforementioned brownie composition is achieved. We've recently switched to oat milk and (I haven't visited the Algerian place on Old Compton since I bought this) the very basic supermarket-bought coffee granules taste, to my experience, significantly better than if treated on a stove-top percolator or mocha. It's literally night and day (this is where my housemate is normally shaking his head and heading into the other room, WHILST ENJOYING HIS AWESOME CUP OF JOE, the fraud) My only caveat is that I cheaped on the filters and regretted it, I'm not sure if all Milita or whatever they're called, filters are the same but the stitching is relatively weak and I gather the impact of continuous pouring of hot water onto the filters seam is somewhat greater than regular drip coffee would be. Cos, you know, it's a drip. So either check whether the filters can be used on certain types of coffee, specifically to pour onto, or just lump it and buy the chemex filters. You're already throwing caution to the wind for a lavishly priced piece of glass that could break from harsh language, what do you care?

This is a design classic that is just so lovely to use and it makes very nice, super 'clean' coffee. I really like the 8-cup size (we also have the 6-cup and this is more useful, at least for me). The only thing I wish they would improve is finding a way to seal the wood collar better since it quickly starts to look a bit rough.

Brought as a present and they loved it

Reason for purchase and experience Just buy it. Honestly, it is worth every penny. if you're into your coffee you would at some stage have heard of Chemex. It is probably the best way I enjoy my coffee, you don't need a fancy machine to enjoy coffee and probably the best coffee I make is via Chemex. Pros 1) Makes a lot of coffee 2) Most cost-effective method to make coffee 3) Looks good in the kitchen 4) Coffee tastes amazing Cons Nothing I can think of

The Chemex looks great, is easy to use, and I love the coffee that comes out of it. I bought the 3 cup version (as opposed to the 6-cup or larger version) as the intention was just that it would only be used by two people so the 3 cup should've been more than enough. This only holds true if both people like tiny cups of coffee. Ideally it should be marketed as "1 full cup of coffee or 2 small cups of coffee". Great for only one person, a bit inadequate for two people, and no way can you possibly serve three. If you've got 2 or more people using this, spend the extra couple dollars to get the 6 cup version which I regret not getting in hindsight.

Bought this coffee maker for making great coffee in our motorhome. Easy to dispose of the used coffee grinds. Great to sit on the gas stove to keep coffee warm. Excellent choice when travelling

I LOVE IT. Such an intriguing piece of sculpture, it's a work of art. Well made, I believe the glass is hand blown, and the polished wood collar and leather binding thongs set off this lovely coffee maker. From a practical point of view it works well, is easy to hold, easy to clean, and with the Chemex filter makes a delicious coffee as clear as rich port. Sit back and enjoy. Afterthought; It's worth noting that the correct filter papers are important and you need to order some at the same time as the coffee maker as it does not come with sample papers. And as soon as you open the box you'll want to use it.

ずっと欲しかったのですが、これまではコーヒーマシーンに頼ってました。しかし、道具を揃えたり手入れすることも覚悟して、今回臨みました。濾紙も専用を使ってますが、本当に理科の実験をしているみたいで、コーヒーが抽出作業を時間をかけて行うと美味しく淹れられるんだとわかりました。かっこいいだけじゃないんですね。お菓子教室の先生が淹れてくれてた時から憧れていましたが、お客さまをもてなすのにもとても良いと思います。

Muito linda. Clássica e estilo.

Se hace bien el cafe con el filtro apropiado

Parfait

Wer wirklich heißen Kaffee will frisch aufgebrüht ist damit top bedient
