Chemex Six Cup Classic Series Glass Coffee Maker - 6 Cup Coffee Maker

Rating: - Love it, getting another as a gift I am an avid tea and coffee drinker. I dislike the taste of stainless steel and plastic in my beverages. I've used this to make about 10 pots of tea. You can use conical filters or even tea bags with this if you are careful. Here's the steps 1. Put about 3-4 tea bags or coffee in a conical filter into the Chemex. 2. Bring about a quart of hot water to a boil with an electric kettle. 3. Slowly pour water over the tea or coffee. 4. empty the Chemex into a separate glass picture. The wood is decorative and acts as a heat resistant handle. You could easily store and dispense out of this, but then you'd have to use a bottle brush to clean it. It's a simple design that's been around a while. But there's also no moving parts to wear out. Glass is easy to clean and it doesn't impart any off tastes in your coffee or tea. Rating: - bought it as a gift I bought this for my sister who had heard rave reviews from a coffee expert. He said he had about 10 Chemex coffee makers in his life time (they break easy) and he would never go back to an automatic again. The filters are hard to find- shipping cost makes them unreasonable to buy online. My sister said the coffee tastes fine but it was not the ultimate cup she was expecting. Rating: - A classic! A classic. Perfect size for coffee for two (or coffee for one on a very hard day!) Rating: - The thing makes good coffee. I saw the Chemex in a design supplement of the Sunday NY Times. It looks good and has been around since the 1940s. I like a good cup of coffee but don't want a lot of fuss and clean-up. I grind my beans and get the pot ready to brew while the water boils. It takes just a minute to pour the water onto the grinds and wait for it to flow into the pot. I pour the water from the pot to a measuring cup and pour from the cup into the grinds. I experimented with how much coffee to grind (my grinder has a selector for how much each time.) I use the same amount of water. Perfect delicious coffee each time in just a few minutes and not clean up. Rating: - or buy a Melitta plastic cone for $2 - $5 This is a lovely coffee maker, but too expensive for some of us. Melitta plastic cones hold similar paper filters and cost about $2 to $5, depending where bought. Melitta produces the same wonderful coffee. Melitta and Hugo Bentz patented the paper coffee filter in 1908, perhaps before Dr. Schlumbohm was even born. page 2 of  4  1  2  3  4
