The taste is unsurpassed. Full bodied and delicious. Its easy and worth the manual labor. If you call boiling water manual labor. Enjoy.
three in one - AWESOME counter space saver, (What's this?) I use it for my coffee, tea and also decanting wine
Chemex is a great product that makes quality coffee and tea taste extra special.
poor packing job by the shipper, i'm not sure who to blame - acehardwareoutlet or amazon fulfillment but this came completely broken. no effort was made at all to pad the inside of the box (it came inside another box with filters and a top). no marking such as 'delicate' 'fragile' or 'shatter/glass' were put on the box. boo to the shipper. it's no fun to receive a package with that tell-tale 'broken glass' rattle.
Dangerous Shattering Chemex 10 cup, (What's this?) Dear Chemex Corp.,
I am sending you pictures of the 2nd Chemex 10 cup that has shattered in less than one month from just tipping over non-violently on a relatively soft counter top. This time as it hit, and I tried to stop its fall, it already shattered into jagged edges and slivers that lacerated my hand and fingers. Each time this took me over an hour to try and get all the tiny slivers and flakes of extremely sharp shattered glass. I owned a Chemex in the 70's and had it for decades and survived a number of much more significant events than this. I realize that times are such, but perhaps you should consider altering this product into a thicker pyrex version, and offer as an option at least... there remains no better way to make coffee that I know of. But this product may be dangerous...
Once you taste Chemex you never come back - at least that's my story, This was new to me until I first tried it, some 3-4 months ago. As soon as I started using it Chemex became my exclusive coffee-brewing method and it's likely to stay that way.
If what you want is a 'clean' yet tasty and flavorful cup of coffee and don't mind spending a few minutes making it AND you don't mind using a lot more ground coffee than you would otherwise the Chemex-made coffee should be your cup of tea, so to speak.
I was completely unaware of anything and everything Chemex until recently when, on the strength of another Amazon review, I decided to give it a try. Add the super-special Chemex filters and some good coffee and you get some honest-to-goodness good tasting, non-bitter coffee. I am happy with what I am tasting. It's a honest, clean coffee and it's good enough for me to drink it unaltered, milk and sugar-free, Espresso-style or with frothed milk. My coffee tastes very much like an Espresso or like a sugarless Cappuccino only not so hot and not so bitter but this is my preference.
The process involves bringing some water to a boil while grinding your coffee - 'medium grind' seems to be optimal. Place the filter into the top of the coffee maker, add the desired amount of coffee and SLOWLY pour the just boiled water after first just wetting the grounds. It takes 4-5 minutes to produce my 3 five-ounce cups. Chemex claims that their own filters have some extraordinary properties including 'the right filtration speed' which (hint) is NOT 'fast'.
Perfect companion for my hot water boiler., Long story: I needed a new tea kettle to make tea. I like coffee, but I love tea. I wanted something I could have at the ready throughout the day and at the right temperature for my teas. I ended up with a Zojirushi CD-WBC40 Micom 4-Liter Electric Water Boiler and Warmer, Champagne Gold. The only downside was that I could not plug in both the water-boiler and my old coffee maker in the same plug at the same time. I therefore had to decide between tea or coffee in advance when people came over... Tea won most of the time, and the coffee drinkers were reduced to instant (ick). I needed a solution. At first, I considered a french press, but the high reviews swayed me to this product and I added it to my Christmas list. =)
Long story-short: I received this after buying a Zojirushi hot water boiler.
Review: I've only had it two days and I LOVE it.
best coffee, (What's this?) When you make coffee like this (with a paper filter), you can use the cheapest coffee and it tastes great.
Cynical at first, (What's this?) Bought this coffee maker with a closed mind, but decided to give it a try after reading the thousands of glowing reviews I read on-line, plus the price wasn't too high if I ended up hating it. Well, after giving it a try- I love it and can totally tell the difference in taste. Like everyone else said- the magic is in the coffee filters and there is no more bitterness to your coffee! The only drawback is the time it takes to make, but if you have the time it's totally worth it.
Goodbye Mr. Coffee: No, You Don't Have to Be a Coffee-Snob to Use a Chemex, I bought the Chemex for one reason, and one only. I wanted to say goodbye to that miserable Mr. Coffee that has been infusing my morning cup with countless leached plastic chemicals for years.
I actually spent a couple of months researching. I already knew I wouldn't want a French press; the coffee's just to dank for everyday drinking, and I narrowed it down to the Chemex and a Hario V60. The Chemex won out because my husband - who thought this entire venture was ridiculous - said, "You're only going make one cup every morning for yourself? What about me?"
Then I watched everyone's favorite auction site which must remain unnamed for Amazon purposes until one in the right size and condition became available. I got a 1950's-60's super-durable Pyrex for the same price (including shipping) you'd pay for one of these new thin, easily-breakable glass ones that seem to be the source of all the low star ratings. The Pyrex Chemex traveled cross-country unharmed, and if I don't pull a major klutz move, I could see this one easily lasting another half-century.
Something that had kept me from buying a Chemex sooner were the countless videos I watched of various people actually using a Chemex. I had questions, like: Will the coffee be simply undrinkable if I don't roast and grind the beans myself and carefully weight them out on a scale? What if I'm not good at this whole 'bloom' thing, or if I don't time the waiting (30-45 seconds) after the blooom? What if I pour the water into it in some sloppy haphazard way? Do these things *actually* matter a great deal? Or is it more a concern of breaking the Chemex Code of Ethics, where my naughty faux pas could just be a secret between myself and my Chemex?
I'm happy to say that I've committed countless faux pas with my Chemex, mostly due to the utter confusion that comes with being a sleepless mother in the morning. I've bloomed then poured immediately. I've not roasted or ground my own coffee once. My measurements have been imprecise, and the pots I've brewed have varied a little in strength. I've used an old Corelle pan to pour the water before my fancy Hario Buono arrived.
makes great coffee, (What's this?) I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift. He's a coffeephile, but was using some substandard brewing equipment (the standard drip coffee maker). He has switched over to the Chemex and loves it. The coffee truly is less bitter using this method. It requires him to devote a bit more time to his coffee making in the morning, but only slightly. The results are worth the extra time. I bought the 10-cup because he ususally makes about 7 cups (in a conventional coffeemaker) and I wanted to make sure there was room. I could have gotten away with the 8-cup because his 7 cups only makes it about 2/3 full. I also purchased the glass lid for the weekends when he keeps it on the stove to stay warm. You will need some sort of burner wire or cover since the Chemex shouldn't go directly on an electric burner (don't know about gas).
