Title: Now this is coffee
Review: 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

Title: LOVE!!
Review: This coffee carafe is absolutely gorgeous and works wonderfully. I bought this after getting rid of my coffee maker. I havenât filled it completely but it does hold a lot. I only heat up enough water for two cups of coffee. It doesnât take long at all to get the perfect cup of coffee. For anyone looking for a great tasting pour over that is more holistic and toxin free. I definitely recommend this beauty!

Title: A regular joe drinker's review
Review: I'm not what most would consider a coffee connoiseur. I simply enjoy great cups of coffee.I've had the great honor of having amazing coffee throughout europe, at many 5-star hotels, in dive coffee shops that know what they are doing, and the best coffee ever at the Blue Bottle in San Francisco. These are things I have purchased, not made.At home I have, historically, simply bought middle-of-the-road pre-ground coffee and put it in a normal "set it and forget it" braun coffeemaker. I then typically add a bit of sugar and some half and half. Done.However, I grew tired of the inconsistency I felt I'd get from that process and the middling cups of coffee. Sometimes too weak, sometimes too bitter.So I started looking into the more "old school" ways. The french press and handpouring. Obviously, the chemex was my choice and I received it on Christmas Day 2011, so this review is after using it now maybe 15 times.I love the simple design - it's basically a very thick beaker with a beautiful wooden wrap-around and a simple leather strap. The glass has an outstanding sunken fluid slide built into it for pouring - it pours outstanding. It's these little things that you really enjoy every morning.I watched a simple youtube video on use. It's fairly straightforward. It takes 6 total minutes to make the coffee and no additional time compared to a automatic drip - I'm serious, I timed it. I put 2 cups of water into a tea kettle and put it on heat, put the filter in the chemex, 4-5 scoops of coffee (still learning the precise amount I like), and then get the coffee cup out, put sugar and half and half in it, and by then the tea kettle is usually almost at the perfect temp.... You can learn the right way to pour the water in via youtube.The results:Coffee is flavorful and rich and amazingly lacking of bitterness. I've heard this is from the filter - catching the bitter oils much better than normal filters. But the coffee is simply very good.If you expect coffee to stay hot in a glass beaker, you will not be pleased - it won't stay hot. Use a thermos if you want it kept warm without heating it somehow.There's nothing to clean - just rinse it out each time and it's good to go. No plastic tubes to worry about. The filter catches all the grounds, so those aren't floating around anywhere.

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

Review: I purchased this item for use while on vacation in Italy this spring. It is an easy way to have my café americano every morning without the commitment of another appliance on the counter. Everyone has a hot water kettle, which is all I need to make my perfect coffee! I have used the Chemex for years at home and love it!

Review: 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 groà was sehr viel Müll macht aber dass ist dem Design verschuldet. Zumindest lohnt es sich nicht damit nur einen Kaffee zu machen.Trotzdem Kaufempfehlung!
