Great Product! Gamer Approved!
A beautifully designed pour-over coffeemaker that delivers a clean, smooth cup of coffee. The 8-cup size is perfect for making multiple servings, and the glass construction adds an elegant touch. It does require specific filters, which are thicker than standard ones, but they help produce a well-balanced brew. If you’re looking to get into pour-over coffee, this is a great investment—just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve with pouring techniques and grind size.

Now this is coffee
Im an amateur coffee geek, there Ive said it, whew. What a relief. As a result of this, when Im at home I have many different ways to make coffee at my disposal. I had been looking at a Chemex for awhile, not sure how long, but I was intrigued by the simplicity of the device, and that it doesn’t require its own power source, but with drip coffee makers, espresso machines, AeroPress, and French Press in my kitchen, I just didn’t want to add another relatively large coffee device to my home. And then it happened. We were just about to come home from a recent vacation, where the coffee was free, but just ok, not even very good, the house sitter announced the disaster that she has encountered and was just about to be revealed. The French Press had fallen from the dish drying rack and broken. Oh the horror. Don’t worry no house sitters were harmed in the making of this review.Enter the chance at a Chemex. I ordered one and it arrived a few days later thanks to the wonders of Amazon Prime and UPS. A few days after that I had the opportunity to open the box and explore the new coffee gear. The coffeemaker itself is very simple. Just glass with a collar make of wood and retained by a leather thong, simple and utilitarian. The glass is of reasonable quality not quite as think as a pint glass, maybe the same quality as a mason jar. It is an attractive device with its smooth simple lines. When full its not a light pour, so I recommend a good grip on the collar, and if you have it, a finger on the stem of the lid.Making coffee is simple, but not without work. The steps are simple in principle, add the filter, add the coffee, add the water and wait. However its not quite that straight forward. First, rinsing the filter is in your best interest. I recommend placing the filter into the vessel, and then rising it completely, wetting the entire paper, and then dumping the water maybe into a plant so its not just wasted. Doing this will help keep the paper pulp taste out of your coffee. You can skip this step, but you will know that you did this since there will be some chewed cardboard flavor in your cup, which I presume that you do not want. After the filter is in place, add the coffee. It can be any coffee really, Ive used drip grind and espresso grind just in my experimentation so far. These both work, but clearly the espresso grind will extend your brew time. From there you pour in the water. If you search for directions or watch videos on youtube you will see that there are many opinions on pouring water, who would have guess it, but yes, many people have many opinions on the right way to pour water. I pour the water in slowly, wetting the grinds fully and then letting them settle a bit before pouring more water. This is truly the most labor intensive part of this brewing method. Reason being that the top of the Chemex holds about 2 cups of water, so if you are making more than that you have a regular cadence of adding more water to the top as it brews and drains to the bottom. In this way this is not a fully unattended brewing method and it requires a bit more time dedicated to making the coffee. Its not long, and not hard, but just a different step for this device.Once your desired amount of water has filtered through the desired amount of grinds, remove the filter, and you can pour the coffee into your favorite mug and drink. The resulting brew is very clean and very smooth. The filters do an amazing job of keeping all the silt out of the drink. The coffee is smooth and creamy, with lots of body and very litter bitterness. The Chemex holds the coffee indefinitely and when you’ve poured off the last of the coffee the bottom is clean since only the liquid coffee made it through. Just a quick rinse and its ready for the next brew.Im glad that I have purchased this, and will continue to use this when I have a few (5-10 minutes) to invest in great coffee in the morning.This review brought to you by the Chemex and Jittery Joes Espresso Blend, Dark Roast 12oz Whole Bean

Incredible Flavor, Energy Efficient, Easy to Use and Clean
Although it was designed in 1941, Chemex coffee pots remain the simplest, most easy to use coffee maker on the market. And the high-quality Chemex filters allow you to “espresso” grind without tears or grounds in the pot.I finely grind my French Roast beans and pour the ground coffee into the filter. Then I place my Chemex on a cast iron plate on my stove top at low (2) heat and pour the hot water over the grounds.You will need to discover your own coffee strength through trial and error. I like my coffee strong and I like the fine grind that creates all the flavor I’m looking for as the water quickly passes through the grounds.The improvement in coffee flavor is incredible. Strong, smooth and no bitterness.Chemex uses less energy than my old percolator (which took about 15 minutes of energy to brew) We have a hot water tap and now I just get a cup of hot water from the sink and pour it over. It’s easy to clean—see my picture above—once a week I put a couple tablespoons of vinegar in and fill it with hot water to let it soak. That helps remove any kind of coffee residue. About once a month I shake a little bit of Bon Ami into the bottom of the pot, add water, add a paper towel and use a wooden spoon to swirl off any build up. It’s an easy, two-minute operation and the results are like new, and sparkling! Easy to wipe the exterior to a sparkle too!It’s beautiful to look at. But respect the glass: It should be handled only by experienced hands. Every few years we knock it off the counter and it breaks then we hurriedly replace it because we are spoiled by the great flavor and ease of use.Coffee afficianados, stop looking for another pot: in Chemex you will discover your coffee Nirvana. But remember, Nirvana is not achieved in a day.

Produto sensacional. Recomendo. Usado juntamente com o filtro apropriado da chemex, faz um ótimo café. Não sou expert no assunto, mas é nítido que o sabor fica mais límpido, acho que retém um pouco do amargor. Bonito, prático, e fácil de limpar.

La caraffa permette di produrre caffè all’americana (o alla tedesca) con i particolari filtri di carta “a cono” prodotti dalla stessa Chemex [B000N4W2SG] o compatibili.Ci sono anche filtri metallici compatibili con questa caraffa [B09VPNK5LF] che permettono di risparmiare e produrre un caffè più corposo (ma anche più aggressivo nella bocca e sullo stomaco). In realtà, filtri in cellulosa ed in metallo non sono affatto equivalenti e producono bevande dal sapore molto diverso pur partendo dalla medesima miscela: più fruttate al gusto e trasparenti alla vista usando i filtri in cellulosa; più corpose e scure le bevande ottenute dai filtri in metallo.Si lava sciacquandola: io preferisco senza sapone, perché la patina di caffè che rimane depositato, col tempo migliora l’aroma. Ma con un po’ di detersivo per piatti la caraffa torna sempre perfetta.Alta la qualità e bello il design. Un po’ cara, ma dura 20’anni: vale la pena di prendere l’originale…La caraffa NON è compatibile con i filtri “Melitta”. Spero di esservi stato utile.

Nach der V60 wollte ich Mal ein bisschen Abwechslung, also muss eine Chemex her!Optisch top! Dickes Glas , schöner Griff und leicht zu Schnüren. Alles sehr hochwertig und sieht mega gut aus. Richtig zubereitet schmeckt der Kaffee hervorragend, etwas milder wie mit der V60.Leider sind die Filter sehr groß was sehr viel Müll macht aber dass ist dem Design verschuldet. Zumindest lohnt es sich nicht damit nur einen Kaffee zu machen.Trotzdem Kaufempfehlung!
