Chemex Six Cup Handblown Glass Coffee Maker - 6 Cup Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been searching for a coffeemaker that does not contain plastic parts. This hand-blown Chemex has a decent weight to it but very expensive. I called the company to confirm that it was in fact made in Germany. It is not. It is made in Croatia by a German company. Go to the Chemex coffeemaker website to contact the company for additional info.
I then found out that there were Chemex's made in the 50's and 60's that were made out of Pyrex Brand Glass and Made in the USA. I found them on Ebay. I purchased one of these and will keep it for years and years to come. It is made from very heavy durable pyrex glass. At $17 I cannot be happier. No scratches, cracks, or stains. Replacement wood collars and rawhide for the Chemex can be purchased brand new from many suppliers for about $10.
In summary, I highly recommend the Chemex coffee maker and filters - together they make great coffee. Just do your research to find which Chemex is right for you.

Chemex Classic Series Glass Coffeemaker with Handle, 3 cup capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the way to get a truly wonderful cup of coffee. Most auto drip makers don't even come close to the perfect temperature of 195-202 degrees to extract the full flavor of the beans. By using the Chemex and water straight off the boil from the tea kettle I and not only obtain the correct temperature, I can also make sure that all the grinds are being equally saturated, something that auto drip electric coffee makers also fall short of. It takes up no counter space, looks like modern art in glass form, and the handle is so much better than their other models that require trying to grip the wooden collar. The handle stays cool to the touch.

Chemex Six Cup Glass Coffee Maker with Glass Handle - 6 Cup Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very pleased with this product. I have been eyeing it for awhile, mostly as an alternative to the drip we use daily for reasons of getting away from plastic. I am glad I waited because the new design with the handle is wonderful--the coffee pours easily and gracefully.
Some things to be ready for, though--it does take about three to four rounds of pouring the boiling water over the coffee grounds while waiting for it to drip, and the glass container cools fairly quickly. I was also concerned that the extra steps of boiling the water and pouring it through would be too much in the morning as opposed to filling up the drip machine and hitting the switch, but I find that I actually like the ritual of preparing coffee with the Chemex (and I am not a morning person). Also, I found that pre-heating the Chemex with hot tap water for a few minutes while waiting for the coffee water to boil makes a lot of difference, and then once the coffee is brewed, I pour it all into a stainless steel carafe or thermos to keep it hot. The coffee is so good that any leftover at the end of the day, either re-heated or iced, is delicious. The six-cup is perfect for one to two enthusiastic coffee drinkers. I highly recommend!

Chemex Drip Coffee Carafe - 8 Cup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Using a Chemex requires water to be heated in a tea kettle prior to brewing, and it requires a finer ground than what auto-drip machines ask for. After the water is brought to a boil, it's important to wait for it to cool just slightly (about 30 seconds) and then you need to wet the grounds in the filter, wait for them to drain, and then fill the pot with water. Want more than a single cup of coffee? You wait for your first pour to brew, and then fill the filter again.
Some advantages over other forms of coffee brewing:
1. Taste: I don't know how it does it, but the filter does keep your coffee from being bitter.
2. Cleanability: Users can keep all necessary components clean (anyone who's brewed water and vinegar through their coffee maker to kill off a bitter taste that wasn't there when you bought it understands this plight). Oftentimes, the most aggressive criticism of the Chemex is its ponderousness to clean because it's not possible to get your hand into the reservoir. Some people prefer to add hot water and soap and give it a good rinse, which is fine if you clean the moment you empty the pot, but if you're like me and you let the remaining sip or two sit until a nice coffee stain is on the glass, then you need some good 'ol fashion friction to get it clean. The best thing I've found: a baby bottle cleaner. It's narrow enough to get into the reservoir and the angle can be adjusted to scrap the walls, too. Brilliant!
3. Electricity Free: As long as you can boil water, you can have coffee.
4. Mud/Sludge: French press and stove-top espresso-style brewing always leaves a thick slime at the bottom of an otherwise rich cup of coffee. Don't get me wrong: I think that's good (I use a French Press when I'm in the mood), but the cone on a Chemex doesn't allow that at all.
5. Style/Size: the Chemex coffee pot is a relic (designed in the 40s) and the wood cuff with rawhide tie screams simplicity and elegance and it's a wonderful, minimalist sight on any kitchen counter (and unlike electric coffee makers, easy to move if you need the space).
Some drawbacks any purchaser should consider:
1. Time: it does take 5 - 10 minutes of labor to get the morning cup of coffee.
2. Cones: you can't run over to Wal-Mart when you use the last filter; you need to find a specialty store or go online, which means you need to plan ahead.
3. Cold Coffee: no electric hot plate (thank god) means coffee not poured and consumed immediately gets cold quickly. You can buy a wire guard and a glass lid so your Chemex can be warmed on the stovetop. I think that's more labor added to an already laborious endeavor. Just have a warmed thermos ready and use that to store any unused coffee.
4. Learning Curve: It does take some time to get the grind right, the amount right and the water level right to find a cup which caters to your tongue.
5. Cleanability: I know this is in the advantages column, as well, but it's worth mentioning that a lot of people hate cleaning these things. To submerge it does mean pulling off the wood cuff (which is a small pain) else it will get nasty over time.

Chemex Classic Series Glass Coffeemaker, 3 cup capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product does not plug into an outlet, has no buttons and doesn't beep when ready. If you're not willing to pour hot water over coffee grounds, this probably isn't the system for you. But if you're willing to put in a little extra effort for a lot of extra flavor, read on.
I had a traditional coffee maker, one that allows the grinds to sit in a cupcake filter inside a plastic container while near boiling water filters through. Hot water --> plastic --> consumption is probably not good. That coffee maker now resides in the break room of an office building.
I also have a french press, which makes pretty decent non-plastic coffee, but I don't like the grittiness of my frequent "cowboy" cups. So I reserved the french press for my tea, and started looking at other coffee brewing systems. The Aerobie Aeropress is hailed to make the perfect cup of coffee, but I ran into the heated plastic issue again. So that was out.
Chemex just makes sense. It's a simple design that comes in different sizes. You must use the Chemex filters, which are easy to fold into the required conical shape. Directions give a 5oz. water to 1 T. coffee ratio (I like my coffee a bit stronger, though). I have instant hot water (they recommend 200F), and find this temp works perfectly, so I don't have to heat my water in a kettle first. Chemex really highlights the blooming process in making coffee, and this is such an important step for flavor extraction.
It really makes a smooth, rich cup of coffee (granted, the quality of coffee depends on the quality of beans you use--and grind immediately before brewing!). I bought the glass lid, and please know that it DOES NOT FIT THIS SMALL MODEL. Cleanup is super easy--just rinse and invert to air dry.

Chemex Glass Coffeemaker Lid Review

When the coffee's getting cold but you really want another cup you can use your Chemex coffeemaker to heat coffee on the stove, as long as you first place the metal grid on the burner. That having been said, make sure that coffee doesn't vanish into thin air as you heat it up by putting this tempered glass lid over the top.

Chemex Drip Coffee Carafe - 6 Cup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is a dirty little secret that many of these appliance companies don't want you to know. Manual drip coffee from a simple cone device makes the best coffee. Here's why. You need to have two tablespoons of coffee for every cup. The water must be just below the boiling point when it hits the grounds. Water which is poured in one little stream on top of dry grounds will cause a funnel effect an most of the grounds won't immersed effectively.
The fancy auto-drip coffee makers don't heat the grounds effectively and don't cover them with water properly in the brewing process. If most people really looked at the back of their coffee maker and looked at where the water is kept in reserve, they would call a Haz-Mat team to clean it up.
Why get this instead of a cheap plastic cone, the filter paper is thicker with the Chemex, retains more bitter oils and the thick glass of the Chemex will keep the coffee warm enough for a second cup (I would suggest getting the glass lid for it also.

Hario Drip Pot 480Ml Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this Hario Drip Pot. Hand poured coffee is the best but does require some care to do it right. I love the cloth filter since it eliminates the need to buy paper filters, however the cloth requires some extra care. It would be helpful if there were better instructions that came with the pot. I did some research on the web and found that regularly boiling the filter and storing it in the fridge in a plastic zip lock bag between uses will keep it fresh and ready to use. The filter should not be dried between uses.

Drip pot woodneck is the professional method of brewing coffee. The original rich taste of the coffee beans is preserved when using the flannel filter. The flannel filter can be used multiple times. Stylish look and a safe way of handling the pot through the woodneck feature.
