n’t say enough good things about this thing!

They love this thing!

In fact, I have never produced a truly bad cup of coffee in the Chemex (granted, it may have been too strong or weak, but it was still better than most things from a restaurant, regular coffee pot

This thing has an excellent reputation, and it does make good coffee

This thing is amazing

Love this thing

One of the nice things I read on another site about the Chemex, is it works great with the whirlybird grinders.

There are other reviews that speak to the good things of this coffee maker much more eloquent than I can be

The thing tipped over and broke before I could even make my first cup

I love this thing

This thing is a work of art

We love this thing and it's easy to clean

This thing looks good when it's new, but the wooden finish deteriorates as it gets wet

First things first, it is absolutely beautiful

My son in law LOVES this thing!

This thing stays really clean and you hardly even need to use soap

A huge chunk just explodes off the thing... and I was so excited for my new hipster coffee this morning...

This just reminds me why some primitive things work better than the fancy machines

THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is your water and beans

I love these things

Maybe it would be 10 cups if you filled it up to the top and over the filter, which is not a reasonable thing to do

This thing is great

Love this little thing

No hidden parts that can get all moldy like an electric drip machine, simple to clean, elegant and good looking on the counter, and the most important thing - the coffee TASTES AMAZING.

Chemex does make a version with a handle instead and that removes the need to take off the collar every time you clean the thing; ultimately its a question of aesthetics(collar) vs practicality(handle).

That is a GOOD thing!

I also like needing only one "thing" to make coffee, unlike the old french press way that required a thermos to keep fresh coffee from getting gunky sitting in the press pot for too long.

I love this thing and am excited every morning to make my coffee using my Chemex

Love this thing

I love this thing

Perfect, exactly the same thing

I love this thing

The best things about this is the ease of cleaning

This thing is so easy to use.

My home setup was simple and I used things I inherited as a college kid when I couldn't afford my own

Cannot say enough good things about our Chemex

This thing makes some great coffee!Beware that it'll only make you about one large mug, so I end up using it twice sometimes

You will learn patience but all good things in life are worth waiting for.

This item makes drinking coffee a beautiful thing.

I use this fantastic thing daily

It's a good-looking thing for sure, but that gimmicky leather-bound two-piece wooden MISTAKE that serves to prevent you from searing your fingertips off is a NIGHTMARE

I loved this thing

I honestly can't believe how fragile this thing is, I got wine glasses tougher then this.

I was very excited to try this, as I have heard great things about it

I was excited about the Chemex, I've heard such wonderful things about it!

This thing looks good when it's new, but the wooden finish deteriorates as it gets wet

For the ease of cleaning alone, I love this thing

I love this thing

One of those trendy coffee things we seem to buy

I love this thing!

But mostly, it means that I can ricochet the thing off of various blunt objects and hard surfaces, and it won't shatter.

I absolutely love this thing

This thing is awesome

I love this thing

A Cleaning brush would be a nice thing for the 3 upper

Overall though this product is great and I will be sure to use and abuse this thing almost every day.

I am taken aback by how well this thing works

Cleanup is simple and the thing is absolutely a work of art

Best thing I have purchased no more coffee pods

Anyway, the only thing about the press I didn't care for was clean up

Pretty durable too - one of our cats knocked the thing of the counter and the handle came off but the rest is still intact and I'm still brewing coffee with it!

So basically, I can't say one bad thing about the Chemex

I'm not a coffee nut, I just like trying new things

n’t love our that it breaks easily and dishwasher sediment sticks to the inside.

n’t know how it worked out for the recipient.

Start by pouring 2x the coffee weight to "bloom" your grounds (50g in this example and try to get ALL the grounds wet) and pause for about 30-45 secs

grind 42g

I've played around with grind size and weight a bit to "fine tune" the taste, but I've been very happy with a medium grind setting (right in the middle of my grinder's finest and coursest settings) and 42g of coffee for 700g of water (just under the suggested 17:1 water to coffee ratio that many coffee snobs prefer).The coffee out of this chemex brewer is so much better than the automatics I've tried, anything I've had out of my Keurig, of anything I've had in any coffee shop (except those that manually make pour over brews).

If I could only fit 1200 g of water in my kettle, then I would fill it to the very brim, grind 80 g of beans (1:15 coffee to water ratio), and start pouring

Grind 15g of beans for every 8 oz of coffee
