indeed, and what i intend to do
Breville Coffee Machines
Technically, couldn’t I just use a carafe (the metal, insulated kind), these chemex filters, and a large funnel?
Breville Coffee Machines
I would agree and own some of the same items but I tend to shy away from anything that filters out too much of what makes coffee great (meaning the sediments and oils). My favorites are the french press and the Bialetti stove top espresso maker.
Cuisinart Coffee Machines
Oh, it’s no big deal. I knew we just weren’t on the same page. Someone needs to get fired for the current Youtube comments design. It’s just pathetic.
Sanyo Coffee Makers
Ah. I see. Youtube is so bad at displaying who responded to what.
Seeing now what you were responding to from this page (why can’t Youtube just display it like this at all times?), I would have to agree 200%.
Delonghi Coffee Machines
I’m sorry, but you seem to be confused. Not only do I own a Chemex, but I also own about 10 other coffee brewing methods. It’s part of my job. My response was to the fellow who believes that putting two filters in a run-of-the-mill drip brewer could somehow match the quality of a chemex. When it comes right down to it, my $40 Chemex usually makes a much better cup than my $250 Technivorm.
Espresso Coffee Machines
Last time I checked water boiled at 212 degrees, and I am inclined to say that it hasn’t changed. I keep my water hot on the stove in between pours. Oh and if you think that keeps it too hot and I burn my coffee, I live at 4500 feet so water actually boils at around 203 degrees making it perfect for the chemex. I suggest you try the Chemex before you disregard it.
Espresso Coffee Machines
The point of the chemex is to provide a different cup of coffee. The taste is a very clean, bright cup of coffee. A true coffee lover explores all aspects of coffee and understands the unique take each brewing method brings to the table. That is why I own a Chemex pot, a very nice french press, an ibrik, and will continue to add different brewing styles to my collection so that I can experience all that coffee has to offer.
Vacuum Coffee Machines
Chemex website says their filters remove undesirable fats, oils, & sediments. A true coffee lover knows that none of these items are undesirable and contribute greatly to the coffee. Not to mention that the substances being filtered out are actually good for you.
Delonghi Coffee Machines
You’ve obviously never tasted the brilliant clean cup this produces. Mind you, a technivorm is quite superior; but to proclaim that this produces “ass coffee” from a vantage of ignorance is just silly. It’s what’s in the cup that matters; and this makes a great tasting cup.
Mr. Coffee Coffee Machines
haha. unless you have a technivorm, you aren’t getting your drip pot to 200 degrees. more like 170. enjoy your ass coffee.

This brewer has been around for 70 years so I am not claiming it is new. The shape does make a difference in the brew & the filters are worlds better than 2 reg. filters. The cost comes from a hand blown coffee maker using high quality materials. The chemist who originally designed this coffee maker did fuse two pieces of glassware together because the cone shape allows for the best extraction of the coffee. You can mock me & others, but until you try coffee from a Chemex you really don’t know.
Cuisinart Coffee Machines
Hello, you paid $80+ for what seems to be two pieces of lab. glassware fused together to create a way of brewing coffee that is not unique at all. I did the same thing (different glassware & filter) when I didn’t have another way of brewing it. No other difference in preparing it from (auto drips) besides some sucker (who paid $80) pouring it manually and trying to justify the cost. Idea: use 2+ reg. filters or “your” “bonded” filters in a auto drip brewer instead. An idea for next time lol
Sanyo Coffee Makers
Sorry to annoy you but if you watched pt 2 you would understand what I am doing. Since you don’t seem to get it I will explain it to you. A lot of people don’t realize there are better ways to brew coffee other than a more expensive Mr. Coffee. I wanted to give others my take on the Chemex coffee maker and how it compares to a standard auto-drip. When you criticize, at least make it productive so that when I improve my quality I can take your narrow minded crap into account should I choose.

What the hell are you trying to do? you are bl**dy annoying.
Nespresso Coffee Machines

Cappuccino Coffee Machine
Is it pronounced “kem-ex” or “kee-mex”? I prefer keemex.
