There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I rarely post a review, but this makes great coffee. I ordered the mid-sized one as it's just my husband and I. I do entertain but have a French press I can use also when I need more servings. So this was bought for a nice AM leisurely coffee.
Not only is the flavor delicious, but also it's actually very easy to keep hot. I put my stove top on low (2 on my stove), and the Chemex has been perfectly fine sitting on there until I want a refill. When I'm ready for a second half cup or cup, it's hot. Very pleased with this purchase.
Please make it with Thicker Glass. These new ones can break easily if they are bobbled in the sink when washing. So beef them up please!! Too fantastic a product to cheap out on.
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
I was just in a Whole Foods today that has coffee beans with their roast date on the dispensers. They have a grinder right there. Buy a few ounces of coffee and grind it. Purists say roast beans should be used within 15 days of their roast and within 15 minutes of their grinding. In spite of what I read against it, I find I can extend coffee's life several fold by refrigerating or better freezing it. YMMV, as they say.
You need a thermometer calibrated to the boiling point of water. If you are working in Fahrenheit water will boil at 212° minus 2° for every 1000 ft above sea level you are. I said that because you need to verify the calibration of your thermometer by dipping the tip into actively boiling water.
1. Open the filter and put the 3 layer side against the channel. That channel is there to allow air displaced by incoming water to escape from the brewer so you don't bubble coffee on everything and so you don't build up a positive pressure which would slow filtering.
2. Preheating the Chemex by pouring boiling water through the filter. I like to use at least 12 ounces in my 48 oz Chemex. Don't forget to discard this water before you start filtering. Voice of experience.
3. Measure the volume of water you will be using to brew your coffee and heat in the microwave, in an electric hot pot or on the stove.
4. While the water is heating I grind my coffee. I generally measure my coffee using beans rather than ground coffee. Sometimes I weigh them instead. Go ahead and add the ground coffee to the filter.
5. When the water boils, I remove it from the heat and begin measuring its temperature. The "standard" brewing temperature is 195 to 205 degrees F. If my beans were frozen, I'll cheat a little to the high side. This is one area where you can "break the rules" to get a coffee you like. Some say brew a darker roast at a lower temperature and a lighter roast at a higher temperature. You're the boss.
6. Discard preheat water and begin by pouring a small amount over your grounds. If your beans are good and fresh they will bubble ("bloom") when you pour that first water. The general idea is to get all the grounds wet before you begin the Pour.
7. The Pour. Note the time or start a timer. Fill the V nearly full. I like to pour away from the center and track that around nearer the circumference. I almost always will stir using a spoon or whatever implement is handy. Keep the V nearly full either by pouring frequently or very slowly, distributing the water around more or less evenly.
8. If all went well, somewhere around 4 minutes just about all the coffee has dripped through. Enjoy your coffee!
If your coffee finishes through the filter in less than 4 minutes, you want a finer grind coffee. If it takes too long, you want a coarser grind.
I generally pour my coffee into a vacuum bottle so I can enjoy it over the next few hours. Rather than discarding my Chemex preheat water I simply use it to preheat my thermos.
Cleanup is easy. Glass washes clean and often I get by with only a rinse. It is glass and will break. I avoid following hot coffee with cool rinse water. One down side for the Chemex is the filters are relatively expensive. I often will get multiple uses from my filters by rinsing them in hot tap water and allowing them to air dry. I notice no ill affects on flavor by doing this but your experience may be different. There are cloth and metal alternatives to the filter paper. Both of these allow more sediment into your cup than does paper. Coffee presses allow for similar level of control as the Chemex. When I want clean coffee I use the Chemex with paper. If I don't mind the sediment I use the press.

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 groß was sehr viel Müll macht aber dass ist dem Design verschuldet. Zumindest lohnt es sich nicht damit nur einen Kaffee zu machen.
Trotzdem Kaufempfehlung!
The product arrives wrapped tightly in a box just big enough for the Chemex.
It is beautifully designed, with a wooden neck collar wrapped around thick glass.
I use 84g coffee and this leads to the base being filled up. It makes the cleanest tasting coffee I've ever had in my life. In under 5 minutes you go from bean to cup including grinding time. A coarser grind is best, with the first 45 seconds to allowing the beans to bloom and release all gases. I then pour water over until 3 minutes 30 seconds, when I let any remaining water to filter through.
The Chemex paired with the Chemex filters produce one of the finest coffees I have ever had: smooth, crisp, strong and velvety. It allows you to taste all flavours in the roast you are using, and to experiment.
I had never used one before purchasing, and whilst daunting to use at first, the process of grinding beans, and pouring over water using a Hario Gooseneck spout kettle over the grinds has become a daily ritual, and one I enjoy greatly as it allows 5 minutes of relaxation and focus, of course followed by delicious cups of brown gold.
The only issue you may find it that the coffee does not stay warm for long, but I normally cover the top of the Chemex to keep temperature for longer. I definitely recommend the Chemex filters, as they work best for the product and are still good value.
