Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker - Classic Series - 6-Cup - Exclusive Packaging

When I read the reviews of this product, I was a little skeptical. I started drinking coffee, maybe ten years ago. After the usual drip machine, I went to a French press. Then I went to Aeropress (which is a good method but it is too expensive because it uses too much coffee). Finally, my old Cuisinart machine died, and I went looking for a replacement. I was looking for the ultimate machine that would get 5 stars; there isn't such a machine. The highest I found was the Chemex, which got 4 and a half stars(plus). I became intrigued, read ALL the reviews and went on to Utube to see how you are supposed to use this method. It's pretty simple; you heat up water to 200 or so degrees (I have a Cusinart electric pot I bought for tea which has a 200 degree setting), fold one of the special heavy duty chemex filters (and yes, use them, they really are better; that's half the reason this system works so well); others suggest you wet the filter; I agree, it seems to make things flow a little better) and put it in the top opening of the glass container. You put your coffee in (a tablespoon for each 5 oz is their recommendation), and put a slight indentation with your finger or something in the center of the coffee. You then pour just a little liquid in the center, then around the edges, gradually filling the cone with water (and raising the coffee off the cone). Gradually (don't just dump it in really quickly) pour all the water into the cone filter. It takes a minute or two for the water to drain down, but when it does, you have the best coffee you can possibly make. Of course, the quality of coffee is dependent on two other factors, one, a clean excellent water source, and two, FRESH (burr ground beans within a day or less for maximum taste) high quality coffee. This is not a machine per se, it is a method that has been tested for a bunch of years, and it really works. The downside is if you are in a hurry or you simply don't have time in the morning, this will not work for you as you have to have a few minutes and, most important, some patience. I have written over 350 reviews on products for Amazon, and this is, by far, my most enthusiastic euphoria with a product. It's like I found the magic bottle (glass), and it has fulfilled my wish (perfect coffee). You know, I've said so much (and so little when you analyze it), so here are a few final comments about the coffee produced. First, it is really smooth; it is absolutely NOT bitter at all, and it just looks clear and clean in a brown way. It's so good that my wife (I made her try it) who doesn't drink coffee even admitted it was very good (which coming from her is like a miracle). Clean up is very easy (other reviewers said this too); you just throw away the coffee in the paper filter and rinse the container out. I always rinse it right away, if you let it sit, you may have some problems cleaning it. The collar, two pieces of wood fitted around the neck of the glass, is held on by a rawhide cord; you can easily take this off (but why, if you just rinse out the unit each time, it is superfluous to mess with the collar). One more little trick I thought of (all by myself) is I heat the cup I am going to pour my coffee into with hot water prior to my putting the finished coffee into it. (And if I am putting in milk, I heat the milk to get it warm). This allows the coffee to be warm longer as when it comes out of the container as it isn't that hot (you can reheat it with a microwave, but I sometimes wonder if that does affect the taste). Oh, one more little thing, it says 6 cup, they are assuming a cup is 5 ounces, to me a cup is 8 ounces, so if you need a larger than say, 4 cups, go with a bigger size. Any comments are appreciated! Postscript: I also now use a double walled glass to put the prepared coffee in (16 ounce) as it keeps the coffee hot much longer (like up to 25 minutes, depending on how hot the coffee is to start). I also put dried egg shells in my filter before I put in the coffee; the egg shells help make the coffee even milder (if that is possible) and add a little calcium to the coffee, or so I have read. I take this all very seriously.

The Chemex Pour-Over Coffeemaker is a simple design and simple to use. I suggest using the Chemex filters, although they are pricey. Other conical filters can burst or collapse during brewing. It makes a great cup of coffee and is easy to clean.

Love love love coffee!!! And I love the Chemex pour over brewer. First I'd like to state, I was a Keurig fanatic. I love the variety of coffees and teas and I loved the ease-of-use. No complaints about the Keurig. However, I read an article in which people were complaining about their health using, not the Keurig so much as the k cups. Now that's another topic altogether. Needless to say I decided to try other coffee brewing avenues. My brother has a French press and gave it great reviews so I went there. Got the French press (Bodhum) here on Amazon at an absolutely incredible price. I got into the whole process of buying beans, grinding the beans and of course making a stellar cuppa coffee. I can't believe Siri just spelled out cuppa, ChucklingOL. Anyway, the only thing about the press I didn't care for was clean up. Scraping the grinds out of the press and rinsing the filter, augh! Remember, Kuerig fanatic, ease-of-use. But it was worth it because I was in coffee heaven. Did I mention that coffee for me is a dessert. If someone asks Kim I can make you the best cuppa coffee ever, Siri did it again by the way, or would you like this piece of chocolate cake, I'm going for the best cup of coffee ever. I'm not a coffee expert. I'm just looking for a good cup of coffee to have in the middle of the day and after dinner. I came across a website, Sagebrush coffee (awesome coffee btw, pick your coffee, it is brewed then, and ship to you priority mail, check them out) and this beauty was in the product section of Brewers. I feel bad that I didn't support Sagebrush on this purchase but I'm an Amashopper and I wanted it in 2 days. Needless to say I am totally crushing on this brewer. (Buy the lid https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1ZKHO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) This pour over brewer is not the quickest process but It makes an amazing cup of coffee and clean up is like a summer breeze. Lift out the filter and put in the trash. (Filters https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CF3HB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) The brewer is beautiful. I keep it on the counter because it's a work of art. It's a conversation piece. If you make more than enough coffee you can, I love this, put the lid on the brewer and put it in the fridge for later. I have found the perfect brewer for me and this Chemex is it. Maybe it is for you too.

After watching at least 10 videos describing how make coffee using the Chemex drip method, I made the purchase. I bought the six cup version. If you follow the instructions given on the multitude of videos available on You Tube for this product, you can't go wrong. I highly recommend you also purchase a scale to use with this coffee mare as it will allow you to quantify exactly how much coffee and water you add. I bought the Hario V60. It works as advertised. Using the scale. I have been able to make adjustments to my ingredients, that are quantifiable and repeatable. My coffee habit before I bought the Chemex was home brewing with a drip type automatic coffee maker ( Starbucks Barista) and my standard five shot "Pente Vente Americano" on Saturday and Sunday at the local Starbucks. At home I have been brewing Ruta Maya Coffee Dark Roast, which I believe is roasted locally here in Austin, Texas. Bottom line: after tweaking the 1) grind time, 2)grams of coffee, 3) grams of water and water temperature, I have come up with one of the best cups of coffee I have ever experienced. Comparing the Ruta Maya Dark Roast Automatic drip (which I used to think was good) with my Chemex version is like comparing std TV to HD TV. The difference is in the aftertaste. The Chemex has absolutely none of the bitter after taste experienced with the Automatic drip. The Chemex coffee is complex with favors that almost taste like chocolate. I can't wait to see what it does to some of the other coffees that I used to think we're good. The other major improvement for the Chemex over my old drip machine s cleanup. Glass does not have odors like plastic! Finally, I used to use a French Press which also makes great coffee. The Chemex eliminates the residue & grit typically experienced with a French Press. I forgot to mention that I used the oxidized Chemex square filters ( rehashed with hot water). In summary, this is a great value, as long as you do the research on procedures, and systematically determine the appropriate settings for your perfect cup of coffee. Cheers, Joe Mac Update: here is my recipe for perfect Chemex coffee Chemex Coffee ◦ Equipment ◦ Chemex 6 Cup Coffee Maker ◦ Chemex Bonded Filter Squares (Oxygen cleansed) ◦ Hario V60 Drip Scale / Timer ◦ Kitchen Aid Coffee Grinder ◦ Capresso H2O Pro Water Kettle ◦ Ingredients ◦ Purified Water 56 ounces ◦ Whole Coffee Beans 45 to 55 grams ◦ Procedure (Makes 30 ounces or 1 1/3 cup of coffee) ◦ Boil Approximately 56 ounces of water in Capresso Kettle (212 F). ◦ Place Chemex Filter in Chemex Coffee Maker ◦ Open filter so that three layers of paper are on one side and one layer of paper is on the other side. ◦ Orient the three layer side toward the spout of the Chemex Coffee Maker. ◦ Unplug the Capresso Kettle when the water reaches 212F ◦ Wait 30 seconds. ◦ Critical for dropping water temperature to 200F. ◦ Thoroughly wet the Chemex Filter with the hot water. ◦ This also warms the vessel. ◦ Pour out the hot water from the Chemex Coffee Maker. ◦ Carefully hold the three layer side of the filter out of the way. ◦ Reposition the wetted filter. ◦ Turn on the Hario Scale. ◦ Place the Chemex Coffee Maker on the Hario Scale. ◦ Tare the Hario Scale. ◦ Grind the whole bean coffee on a Medium Coarse setting. ◦ 10 seconds in Kitchen Aid Grinder. ◦ Pour 50 grams of Medium Coarse Coffee into the wetted Chemex Filter. ◦ Gently shake the Chemex Coffee Maker to even out the Coffee Grounds. ◦ Make a small intention in the center of the grounds. ◦ Tare the Hario Scale. ◦ Carefully pour approximately 130 grams of hot water to wet the coffee grounds thoroughly. ◦ Start in the center indention, moving outward until grounds are completely wet. ◦ Allow the Coffee Grounds to "bloom" for 45 seconds. ◦ Critical time. ◦ Tare the Hario Scale. ◦ Start the main pour. ◦ The main pour will total 887 grams of hot water. ◦ Gently pour starting at the edge and move in a circular motion around the perimeter of the Chemex opening. ◦ Pour until the water is about half an inch from the top. ◦ Allow it to filter topping off occasionally until you reach 887 grams. ◦ Try to avoid "floaters" by sinking them carefully with the pour. ◦ Allow the water to filter through until the last few drops. ◦ Remove the filter and place in the compost. ◦ Pour the coffee. ◦ Enjoy ! ◦ Place the optional Chemex glass top on the coffee maker to help maintain temperature. ◦ Notes ◦ This procedure makes about 30 ounces of Coffee or about a cup and a third. ◦ Grams of coffee can be adjusted to taste. I recommend using the range 45 to 55 grams. ◦ If the water filters very very slowly, the Grind is too fine. Adjust to a coarser grind. ◦ Time is critical to maintain water temperature within the optimal range. Have all supplies available. Work steadily without rushing and you'll have no problems. ◦ The scale is critical for consistency. Once you create the perfect cup of coffee, you have the recipe. ◦ This procedure was developed after observing several Chemex videos on YouTube, combined with my own experimentation. ◦ Coffee (in order of preference) ◦ List is limited as coffees taste different using the Chemex method compared to my old Automatic Drip Coffee Maker. My old database of Coffee preferences is obsolete. The Chemex difference is in the elimination of the bitter after taste. ◦ Ruta Maya Shade Grown Dark Roast ◦ Jamaica Blue Mountain (Starbucks Reserve)

Perfect coffee maker! This is the one! I've tried the K-cup machines and even with stainless steel reusable K-cups, I was always aware of all that plastic. I also tried the AeroPress coffee makers, but, like a French Press, I found them to be a little too labor intensive for my lazy ass, despite making a decent cup of coffee. Enter this one, the Chemex Pour-Over (6 cup) glass coffee maker - THIS IS THE ONE! I love it, especially when paired with my little digital scale that I place the Chemex on, to meter out the water and the coffee, and my new goosenck kettle with the dedicated "coffee" (208F) button and the "Hold temp" button, which keeps the water at the perfect temp while I am waiting for the water to flow through the Chemex filter into the glass bottom. So easy, fun and makes a perfect cup and the best of all....absolutely NO PLASTIC or aluminum coming in contact with my coffee/water and NO CLEANUP!!!! Just turf the Chemex filter into the trash when done, rinse out the Chemex, and it's done!

I grew up with one of these and it is still the same wonderful product. I look forward to making my coffee every morning with it.

I'm sure experts would always prefer V60s for more control but if you want to upgrade your coffee game a Chemex is absolutely the next step. I tossed my French press after I tasted my first poured over coffee with this chemex and it is beautiful to look at. The borosilicate will retain temperature very good, I was impressed. I paired it with a reusable metal filter and the results of my first extraction blew my mind. I do recommend some beforehand reading on pouring techniques, recipes, filters and coffee properties if you really want to get amazing results. By no means this is a fool's proof tool, there is some learning involved.

I make one pot of coffee a day, six days a week. Became tired of expensive high-end electric coffee makers failing after one year of use. Thought I'd try this. It makes about two giant bowl-cups of coffee or about 3 to 4 smaller cups. I've found it to be just right for three people in the household. It's kind of fun to use. There is no automatic setting so that the coffee is ready when you get up, but the routine of making coffee in the morning with this product is a kind of meditation thing. It makes me slow down, think and wake up. The coffee tastes good. Cleaning isn't a hassle at all. I had been told that I was too clumsy with dishes and that this coffee maker would last all of a week before breaking. So far, I've made it to the six month point. It's taken a few raps on the edge of the counter and sink but hasn't broken. Wouldn't try dropping it on the floor or banging it against a cast iron pan, but so far it hasn't proved to be exceptionally fragile. It's not any worse than cleaning the glass carafe of a regular electric coffee maker. The filters are unusually expensive which is a shame. The brown unbleached paper filters have worked much better than the white bleached and round-cut filters. The white ones clog and form a coffee pond unless you're there to fumble with the filter & get the coffee flowing to the bottom bowl again. Because of the unusually high cost of the filters, I'll probably start experimenting with other paper filters or even paper towels to see if I can find one that works as well. I'll post an update if I find some. I would buy this product again and have bought one as a gift for a friend once already. Oddly when people visit it's proven to be a bit of a conversation starter because people tend to crowd into the kitchen to talk.

I have been wanting to buy it since 2017, but didn’t. It is pricey thats why. I usually drink espresso and thought investing money on an espresso machine was smarter. And I made a decision I did not regret. But now I finally bought it. It is still pricey, but I wish bought it earlier. Let me share with you what I experienced, hoping it will help you make a call whether to spend your hard-earned money on it or not. 1. There is no “exclusive” packing. I dont know why the description says that, just a decent packet, not packed well but luckily it didn’t break. There is an ‘80 years’ logo on it maybe that is what they meant by “exclusive” packaging. Silly but Who knows! 2. It is expensive and unfortunately delicate (very), so please keep that in mind. 3. I have given only 4 stars out of 5 for ease of use. Don’t get me wrong there is no rocket science there. But it is methodically complex compared to many other methods of coffee making. But if you dont mind spending a few extra minutes it is quite easy nevertheless. 4. I am trying this ‘third wave coffee beans’ for the first time, with Chemex, but I tried it first with Hario (the inexpensive plastic one), and also with DeLonghi espresso machine( different grind size of course). It tastes the best with Chemex. They should partner with Chemex because it tasted very ordinary, if not bad with the machine. So Third Wave does very well with Chemex. 5. I spent 5000 on it. But I am not regretting, there is something about the taste of the coffee that came out of it, you can taste the subtle notes really well. And the aftertaste is divine. Trust me I always thought (never loudly) Americans have no taste for good coffee, unlike Italians. I really dislike the Starbucks’ coffee and honestly think its a sin to serve such bad coffee to humans. But this Chemex is every bit of worth its hype. And they do know good coffee. No wonder it is one of the 100 best designs in the world. Wow! I have lived in a more sophisticated part of the world where one is spoilt with coffee beans’ choices. Unfortunately, in India finding good coffee beans is a struggle. But this Chemex design should be marketed for regions like ours even more as it brings the best taste out of the coffee. I didn’t do anything fancy that they suggest (they have a leaflet, useful I would say) but will try to be more accurate next time (if time permits) and will also try brewing tea as the company suggests. But for now I am extremely happy with it. Try it if and when your budget permits, it is a marvellous investment if you start your day with coffee or drink coffee many times throughout the day. I know for sure this will be on my shelf till the day I breathe (along with my espresso machine), and no I am not exaggerating.

ガラス製のドリップコーヒーの色を鮮やかに出すコーヒーメーカー。コーヒーをそのままテーブルに出せるおしゃれな一品

Estremamente soddisfatto dell'acquisto. Esteticamente bella e resistente.

Nachdem ich mit meiner Filterkaffeemaschine als Ergänzung zum Siebträger eigentlich schon sehr zufrieden war, hatte die Chemex meine Experimentierlust in puncto Filterkaffee geweckt nach dem Motto: "Wie anders kann das Ergebnis schon sein...?" Das Resultat: Sehr anders! Insbesondere bei eher fruchtigen Kaffees war mein persönlicher Eindruck, dass die Aromen deutlich besser herauskommen und ein anderes Getränk entsteht. Dank der mitgelieferten Brühanleitung ist das Produkt auch für Neulinge im Bereich des Handaufbrühens geeignet, dabei rate ich aber unbedingt zu den dazugehörigen Filtern, da diese 1) perfekt passen und 2) ihren Beitrag zur Aromaentwicklung leisten. Ja, sie sind deutlich teurer als normale aber umgerechnet auf die ~6-8 Tassen Kaffee die gebrüht werden macht das nur noch 2-3 Cent pro Tasse aus. Für einen guten Kaffee allemal lohnend. Das Aufbrühen dauert ein wenig länger als mit der "normalen" Filterkaffeemaschine, was aber auch mit dem Mahlgrad des Kaffees zusammenhängen kann. Die Reinigung gestaltet sich unkompliziert, da man das Lederband und den Holzgriff sehr einfach entfernen kann. Der Holzgriff besteht aus zwei Hälften die durch das Band zusammengehalten werden. Natürlich kann das Ergebnis nur so gut sein wie der verwendete Kaffee, daher würde ich den Kaffee von konventionellen Röstern damit jetzt nicht verwenden (Soll nicht versnobt klingen: Auch ich verwende z.B. auf der Arbeit Tschibo-Kaffee mit einem Handfilter - zu Hause darf es dann aber ruhig was Besonderes sein).

otima e original! chegou em perfeito estado!
