Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffeemaker - Classic Series - 3-Cup - Exclusive Packaging

I have enjoyed using the Chemex coffee brew system. I did have a Keurig, but I felt like it was never clean, and there was no way to clean inside of it. I was concerned that was what was causing me to have additional allergies and issues with my health. Lots of research I found Chemex. Having the system all glass, I’m able to clean it thoroughly each time. I got the 3 cup size, which is perfect for just me to use. I have tried the half filters as well as the folded filters. I recommend the square pre-folded filters because they do not have a seam where the grounds can escape. You just have to add an additional fold for the 3 – cup size. I also got a stainless steel electric kettle. This is a great combination. If you are concerned about if your Keurig or coffee maker is fully clean, I highly recommend this product. It is very easy to use and the coffee taste great. The only thing I don’t really like and wish was different. Is the wood band on it. As you can see from the photos, it gets worn down after getting wet through the washes. The leather knot is too hard to undo each time so I don’t untie the knot anymore. I tried untying it a few times but it is hard to get back on tight enough. They need a band of some sort that does better with washing instead of wood— or something easier to remove.

I bought this to use in addition to my electric drip coffee maker. I drink 1-2 mugs of coffee every morning and while the electric drip makes acceptable coffee it is more suitable for brewing larger pots. I buy whole bean coffee and grind my own beans (my next investment will be a burr grinder). I am not a coffee aficionado but I like a good fresh cup of coffee - my favorite beans are Eight O'Clock original. I saw the Chemex for the first time on a friend's social media post and was intrigued. I did debate purchasing the larger Chemex, but decided that for larger groups/company the electric drip would work better and therefore purchased the smaller unit for my daily use. I did watch a few videos before I tried it the first time and that was helpful.The coffee it produces is wonderful - it is full of flavor and has no bitterness. This model uses the half-moon filters, I do not find them difficult to use. Obviously this takes a little more effort than flipping a switch on an electric drip, but for me it is worth the effort. The difference in time/effort for me is that I have to add the water in 1-2 batches since it doesn't drip quickly enough for me to add it all at once. Note that the most you can pour into this model is 2 cups of water (2- 8 oz cups) - I suppose it is called a 3 cup because most coffee makers assume a 'cup' serving to be around 6 oz - but it is just right for me. Since there is no burner to keep the coffee warm, I usually heat my second mugful in the microwave which works very well, there is no bitterness after reheating. I wash my unit every time I use it, it's not difficult to untie the leather strap, remove the collar, clean it with a bottle brush and set it aside to air dry. The glass is dishwasher safe but since I don't run my dishwasher every day and can quickly wash it by hand that wasn't a big deal for me. I have found that I use fewer beans since purchasing the Chemex because I rarely throw any coffee down the drain - first because it tastes so good and secondly because I make only what I can drink.

Make a good cup of coffee . Easy to use . I like that it doesn’t take up a lot of space like a regular coffee maker . Can use less coffee so there’s no waste .

We're weaning ourselves off the Keurig mainly due to the limited choices of environmentally friendly packaging, but also because you simply get better tasting coffee outside of the Keurig realm After some research, we landed on the Chemex - and LOVE it!!!It's definitely a bit more of an investment of time and labor than simply popping a Keurig plastic cup into a brewer, and on the those mornings when you need it east and fast, the Chemex solution might feel like a Herculean effort, but if you are willing to preserve, you will be rewarded with some superior coffee. It really helps if you have an electric kettle to get the water super hot and while it's boiling you can get the filter ready. Also, if you go this route, invest in a good burr coffee grinder. Amazon has a great selection of both appliances. I was totally skeptical that a grinder could really make a difference, but since we happened to have both the fancy Krups burr grinder and a cheap Krups grinder I put them both to the test, and was quite surprised to find it does make a difference. Having lost the bet with my better half over this issue, I now have to make the coffee in the morning for the next month.You do need a filter for the carafe, and Chemex of course has their version. I have to wonder about the folks at Chemex, they really made the filter thing a bit of an origami project and when you are half asleep trying to pull off a focused project, you might be tempted to throw a cup under the Keurig and be done. But if you can manage enough brain cells to get the filter folded (and the trick is make sure the little half circle thing is opened properly inside - again, a bit of feat when your eyes are barely open - otherwise coffee grounds will go right through). Chemex does sell pre-folded filters for the morning mentally challenged. So you may ask, why not just use the plain cone filters. Well, they don't fit properly and the mess you will have on your hands will leave you even more cranky than you were (yep, tried this and it was NOT a short-cut).Once the water is ready, you pour over it the grounds, wait a minute or two and repeat until the carafe is mostly full (great opportunity to get that dishwasher emptied while you are making the coffee). Remove the filter which is compostable or recyclable in the green waste can, so you can do your part for the environment, and pour your beautiful cup of joe. Obviously the major benefit of making coffee this way is you can buy really, really good beans.The carafe cleans up well and the coffee is downright awesome. If you have visited any of the more trendy coffee houses and noticed many are doing this pour-over type of coffee, and if you are patient, you will be rewarded with a truly fine cup of coffee.

Compré café en una tienda especializada recién molido para probarlo y es un pasada! Me salió un café con un sabor intenso y ha sido muy rápido y sencillo el proceso. Compré también los filtros asociados y la tapa de cristal y es todo un acierto!Llevo años queriendo comprar uno porque también me parece muy decorativo y soy consumidora esporádica, así me queda una pieza que adorna la cocina y que puedo sacar cuando tengo visitas y sorprender con cafés de calidad. Súper recomendado

Wow!Ich fasse mich kurz da Rezensionen nicht so mein Ding sind, aber dieses wunderschöne und praktische Produkt hat eine verdient.Ich trinke ca. 3 Kaffe am Tag.Auf der Arbeit wurden alle privaten Maschinen verboten und durch Automaten ersetzt, die Tassen sind Mini kosten 35 Cent sind mir zu bitter und Sodbrennen bekomm ich auch davon.Also testete ich eine French press. Der Kaffe wird mir hier aber auch in Regel zu bitter und es ist nicht mein Ding, soviel kann ich jetzt nach 8 Monaten sagen.In unsere Küche sah ich dann einen Kollegen mit dem sogenannten Coffee gator ähnlich wie chemex.... Ich war total begeistert und fing an zu googeln.So bin ich auf den chemex gestoßen.Das Design hat mich sofort begeistert und so schlug ich zu, direkt dazu bestellt ich eine handmühle und passende Filter mit.Als alles da war machte ich mir direkt zu Hause einen Kaffe und...... Wow.Der Kaffee ist der Hammer!Er ist so gut, dass ich die kleine 1-3tassen Kanne wie geplant mit zu Arbeit nehme und meinen vollautomaten zu Haus durch die 6er Kanne ablösen werde!

以前から欲しかったんです。娘に誕プレに買ってもらいました。いろいろ用意しなくて良いので助かります。洗うのは少し大変ですが可愛さが勝ってます。

Tra tutti i modi di fare il caffè, quello "filtro" é quello che preferisco, e questa caraffa semplicissima é un ottimo strumento. Il caffè viene aromatico, forte o meno, dipende dalla quantità di caffè che si mette, senza residui, senza il grasso galleggiante in superficie, non amaro e nemmeno acido. L'unico accorgimento: Usare solo caffè buono! Il caffè vecchio o di scarsa qualità viene malissimo, si sentono tutti i difetti. Se nella moka va bene quasi tutto, con questo metodo assolutamente NO! Consiglio un'arabica di media tostatura, altrimenti prevale il gusto di tostato/bruciato. Sicuramente lo consiglio! É piaciuto persino ai classici bevitori di caffè all'italiana.

I am not able to comment much on this as it was a gift for my daughter! I do know she was absolutely thrilled when she received it as she had seen it before and thought it was the best coffee maker she had ever seen.I do know it makes THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE EVER and is extremely simple to use! …NANETTE
